MAY 19, 2011: Real-time map updates will be available on Saturday and Sunday. Here’s how to get follow us live:
• Visit our twitter page, even if you’re not a follower/group member. Look for posts marked #motionX. They link to our position on Google Maps, updated every five minutes. • A word on the schedule: we can - and have been - off, sometimes by quite a bit, in the past. Our pace is dependent on the number of participants, how we feel, and who we’re visiting We will not leave a scheduled point on the route BEFORE that time, so if you arrive on time, wait for us - we’ll be there. (Twitter is helpful - if you don’t use it, somebody waiting with you likely will. Just ask.) MAY 18, 2011: Music now scheduled for both days. • On Saturday, at 1PM, we stop at Steelhead Park along the LA River for lunch and entertainment from the amazing RT N THE 44s. • On Sunday, at noon, The Official Ukelele Orchestra of the Western Hemisphere Performs at the Silverlake Rec Center!
