Times-Up! Brooklyn Committee presents: FREE RIDE TO FIRST SATURDAY! Come join X-Up! as we hit the streets and ride together to the Brooklyn Museum of Art's free monthly extravaganza! In addition to one of the craziest bikes you have ever seen (part of the permanent collection), this month get a first look at the new Basquiat exhibit. This exhibition gathers together more than one hundred of Jean-Michel Basquiat's finest works, including many that have never been shown in the United States. It is organized chronologically, with special sections highlighting Basquiat's interest in music, language, and Afro-Caribbean imagery, along with his use of techniques such as collage and silkscreen. From 6:30p.m.–8:30 p.m. jump around to the Vodou Drums of Haiti. Bonga and The Vodou Drums of Haiti fuse jazz and traditional Haitian beats, performing on Haitian drums, balafon, cello, reeds, and horns. And from 9 p.m.–11 p.m. join the Dance Party with DJ Babaloo of Radiobomba Production and his sizzling Latin beats, including reggaeton, Jamaican dance hall mixed with the traditional bomba and plena rhythms of Puerto Rico. Meet @ 530 pm in Union Square South or 6pm on the Brooklyn-side of the Williamsburg bridge. Bring locks, bring food (although they do have food & drink for sale), and bring your dancing shoes. Although this is a one-way ride, arrangements will be made at the museum for group rides back to various hoods across the city. If you live in Brooklyn, close to the museum, we invite you to join us in Union Square for a fun ride anyway...You get off late from work or need to come later, we invite you to join us at our hook-up point in the third floor....just look for the X-Up! crew guarding a pile of helmets & bags. So come join Times-Up as we take over the streets and dance-floors of Brooklyn! Please note, this is a group ride, so we stick together and keep it safe....all level of bikers welcome!
