Don't Get Caught in a Bad Hotel

— By Kevin Montgomery (@kevinmonty) |

I know I rallied against Lady Gaga memes earlier, but this is tops.

A flashmob infiltrates the Westin St. Francis hotel in San Francisco and performs an adaptation of Lady Gaga’s song “Bad Romance.” The event was organized to draw attention to a boycott called by the workers of the hotel who are fighting to win a fair contract and affordable healthcare. Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender Queer activists put the song and dance together as a creative way to tell the hundreds of thousands of LGBTQ people from all over the country coming to San Francsico in June for Pride to stay out of the boycotted hotels.

San Francisco Through a RED Camera

— By Kevin Montgomery (@kevinmonty) |

While watching this video, I had one of those “dang, I live here?” moments.  But that’s probably because I don’t look through the lens of high definition, but whatever. RED!

Also, not sure why this video needed so many credits?  Like, how many people does it take to drag a camera around a city?

Check Out My Silver Screen Debut: Ride the Divide

— By Kevin Montgomery (@kevinmonty) |

So, apparently I’m in 5 minutes of this movie that is having it’s west-coast debut tomorrow.  I haven’t seen the movie yet, so I cannot vouch for its quality nor my performance (although it did win some award at the Vail Film Festival).  All I know is that I was really tired during filming and completely sober, so just know going into it that I was not my usual self.  Anyways, if you are a cyclist and at Sea Otter or find your in Monterrey tomorrow night at 8pm, go see 5 minutes of me being awkward and 82 minutes of people being well-adjusted in an IMAX theater.  For those of you at home, you can watch me hella fuck up my ankle while pushing my bike through the snow in the trailer embedded below.

Ride the Divide
April 15th at 8pm, Cannery Row IMAX theater, Monterey, CA (There will be a show the afternoon of the 16th if the 15th sells out)
$12 in advance at www.bellacinema.com

Is San Francisco Better than New York?

— By Kevin Montgomery (@kevinmonty) |

This bro claims his video series is the “76-second travel show” but this video is 146 seconds long.  What does that mean?  Either he’s an idiot or just fucking with me.  The former means his opinion isn’t worth shit, the latter means I’m going to hella mean-mug YouTube for 146 seconds.

Anyways, watch all 70 seconds in overage to find out what Pythagoras’s opinion is.
