Big Day in #Baltimore! Kinetic Sculpture race from 9-7 pm AND Flower Mart! Favorite Kinetic Sculpture Race prize categories: &quot;Worst Honorable Mention: Lowest Award known to Humankind. This is given to the Sculpture whose half-baked theoretical &#39;engineering&#39; did not deter its Pilot(s) from the challenge of the race.&quot; Also one for &quot;most memorable breakdown,&quot; &quot;most interesting water entry,&quot; and the Grand Mediocre Champion is the top prize https://www.kineticbaltimore.com/ #art #bikes #sculpture

And Flower Mart is in Mt Vernon 11-8pm today. I went yesterday and there were great vendors and good energy. My buddy went back and forth with the owner of Ekiben about them not offering delivery and he hooked her up with free tofu lol. It's been going on for 115 years! https://www.wmar2news.com/news/region/baltimore-city/baltimores-historic-flower-mart-returns-to-mount-vernon-this-weekend

@small_cypress@indieweb.social I look forward to the Kinetic Sculpture Race every year. Truly the highlight of Baltimore's year. Favorite Award: THE GOLDEN DINOSAUR AWARD Awarded to either the first Sculpture to “breakdown” or the “most memorable breakdown.”

@small_cypress@indieweb.social 🧵Baltimore Kinetic Sculpture Race I like the full Official Kinetic Sculpture Race Rules, Awards, and Official Spectator Code of Conduct. All enjoyably goofy, like the kinetics. #kineticsculpturerace #kineticsculpture https://www.kineticbaltimore.com/KSR/Rules.asp
