2008 Idiotarod Insanity: The Video

January 27th, 2008 · 2 Comments

We caught some of the 2008 Idiotarod–that annual small-scale Halloween meets the Mermaid Parade, but with pimped shopping carts and a very long route–in Gowanus and Red Hook. Here’s our video of the race, as it leaves “Checkpoint Two” at The Yard, next to the Carroll Street Bridge in Gowanus and at the finish line, Moonshine, on Columbia Street in Red Hook.

    what a huge mess was left….many abandoned shopping carts on my block, trash, hundreds of orange peels, broken eggs…..and the cops had NO IDEA that anything was going on. Who will clean it up?
