the body painting studio for last year's WNBR.

AUTO SHOW SHUTDOWN FESTIVAL 2008:
REVENGE OF THE CRASH TEST DUMMIES!
Saturday Febrauary 9,
Meet by the Picasso at Noon
McCormick Place Main Entrance at 1pm

Crash test dummies have gone AWOL and now tour the country on bicycles
trying to get their human counterparts to finally realize that cars
are killing over a million people every year worldwide (who's the
dummy?) Bike in solidarity with the renegade cycling crash test
dummies and let the attendees of the Chicago Auto Show know it's time
to wise-up: STAY ALIVE - DON'T DRIVE!

Oh yeah, we're also giving away little polar critters to remind kids
they can be a hero and save the earth by riding a bike. Help us by
bringing small stuffed polar bears, penguins (i.e. anything arctic!)
This was a big hit with the kids last year, so come out and help us
inspire the next generation before it's too late.

Watch this for inspiration:
