I think what matters is how fast they go, not whether they are walking or riding a bike. What do you think?

For more, see: www.myspace.com/waterfai and http://www.whiteshoerecords.com/artists/waterfai.html and Water Fai: 'You Are the Sun' www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=91129541 Makiko Toba, the bassist, recently visited TheWhoFarmers to produce visual arts and smiles for our WaitingForApples event. Afterwards, she walked across the Brooklyn Bridge to view Olafur Eliasson's Waterfalls (she is prone to bad luck on bicylces.) Makiko met the fabulous Elizabeth Press at the Birdbath Bakery bike share party and gave her a copy of Water Fai's new album. She also participated in David Byrne's Playing The Building: Playing the Building: Makiko Dance http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sYSNaqfTU-4 Josh & Makiko Playing the Building http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vlmmIty9_kg Makiko's message: Arigatou NYC! :) The music is by the appropriately-named Water Fai, a girl band from Osaka, Japan.
