go watch it! and bonus feeble attempt at knitting content
Here's a fun movie trailer about bikes that I found in my inbox yesterday. There's no knitting in it, but it features tall bike jousting, which we at the Knit-A-Log neither condemn nor condone! Go watch it, it'll put hair on your chest! (And fyi, some of us really like that, as a few knit a log readers may already know!)
Perhaps a similar documentary could be made about stitch 'n' bitch groups. "Knitting is not just some mtv lifestyle s***!!!This is every f***ing day, man! Its not for the media!" Can you see me now? Fist raised high with size 19 lantern moon rosewood needles? Promising the take out the ladies at the knitting guild. We could do sheep jousting.
Oh, can you tell, its a slow news day??

We might have a hard time selling knitting as really hard-core now that you can buy little plastic-wrapped knitting kits at Target.
But *we'll* always know who the true hard-core knitters are!

The movie and the bikers look cool, but what's up with a bunch of people looking at a camera and telling a filmmaker, "this is not about the media." Then why are you on camera?
They also seemed to soft pedal the politics for the xtreme sports angle.
