Pre-Hysteria – a fund-raiser to help save Rubulad from extinction

At 3rd Ward – 195 Morgan Avenue at Stagg Street


After years of sending Brooklyn's most adventurous party-goers into all-night wonderlands of art and celebration, Rubulad is now in danger of losing its space.  "Pre-Hysteria" -- referring to all things billions years back, the way things were when dinosaurs and not the Department of Buildings ruled the earth. Please dress and comport yourselves accordingly.

The Story from Pedicab-Driver Duncan:
This past June I took a pedicab ride with my partner from Brooklyn, into the city. While we walked the pedicab on the Manhattan Bridge we got passed by a cyclist who turned out to be an attorney for the DCA (Department of Consumer Affairs) . This individual decided to take secret camera phone pictures of us on the bridge, and the pedicab, and to send these photo's to a NYPD detective.
The result was a very hefty unlawful ticket sent to my good friend, and pedicab distributor. Beyond that, the DCA  is now trying to use this case as a vehicle (no pun intended)  to not allow any pedicab
usage on bridges between Boroughs whatsoever!!!!
This would be a huge blow to our industry, and an insult to pedicab drivers throughout the city.

PLEASE, if you can, come celebrate pedal power, and help us raise the funds to pay for the legal fees necessary to win this case...and keep pedicab drivers free to walk our vehicle's between boroughs.

Magical Real Love and Bicycles!

Some "Josephine in White" Images

For the most recent Shanghai Mermaid I made a "Josephine in White" costume, and wore a white bowler hat, made a white mini tutu, borrowed a white vest and wore the most humungous pearls ever...
