After the arrests from the July 25th 2008 events, the police have taken a much keener interest in the event. Though they claim to desire neither to lead nor prevent the ride, their presence has brought on a more subdued celebration. Critical Mass has—to steal a techie expression—expanded virally throughout the globe. Seattle, an aspiring bike friendly city, was fated to have its own iteration sooner or later. http://www.seattle.net/entertainment/articles/critcal_mass/ Wed, 17 Mar 2010 12:43:34 -0700 The Decibel International Festival of Electronic Music Performance, Visual Art and New Media has become the best event of its kind in North America.
