Baltimore Kinetic Sculpture Race

Today In Baltimore...how fun does this sound?  It's free for spectators!

"Kinetic Sculptures are amphibious, human powered works of art custom built for the race. Each May, the American Visionary Art Museum (AVAM) hosts the East Coast Kinetic Sculpture Race Championship on the shore of Baltimore’s Inner Harbor in central Maryland.  The eight-hour race covers 15 miles—mostly on pavement, but also including a trip into the Chesapeake Bay and through mud and sand."


The AVAM is an incredible place...I love the "shiny happy thing" tree outside (and all the other blinged-out things around the place), and their gift shop has wacky and unique things.  If you haven't been yet, it's totally worth a trip.


I have yet to try out their restaurant, Mr. Rain's Fun House, which looks like quite a place.
