Best Film Fest Evah!

So I went with Jen to a little fundraiser for her bike advocacy organization Los Angeles County Bicycle Coalition on Sunday night. We met a group of 30 or so super cool and like-minded people, some from LACBC, some from Bicycle Kitchen and other bikey spaces and watched some awesomely awful safety films from the 50's, 60's, and 70's. Part of it was definitely the collective theater experience, with people talking back to the screen, but mostly it was just unabashedly craptacular production values made for comedy gold. No, comedy platinum. You get the idea. And what a spectacular idea for a fundraiser--the possibilities are...well, not limitless, but certainly myriad. So here is the program, as best as I could root through YouTube to find links to the actual videos. I couldn't find the actual "Talking Car" version that we saw, but the one up above is the exact same schtick, complete with the animated features overlaid on the car. Jen liked the Safety Patrol the best, I think I agree. Enjoy, and for goddess' sake be safe!
