For those of you unfamiliar with Artcrank, it’s “a Poster Show for Bike People”. The show, hosted by One On One Bike Studio, began in Minneapolis in 2007 and has now spread to Denver, Portland, San Francisco, and St Louis.

It happen to touch down on my sister Kate’s block. Thankfully no one was hurt, but her block got torn up pretty good. WCCO News (Minneapolis’s CBS) interviewed her. Here are a couple of clips from the interview.
