If you're into bicycles and erotica, you'll want to make plans to head to the Screening Room on Saturday, Nov. 22 for the return of the Bike Smut film fest, which, as the poster says, celebrates "human powered transportation & sex positive culture."

Sure, you might be a little tired from the Tour de Tucson, which is the same day, but if this is your thing, how many opportunities do you have to outwardly celebrate your bikesexuality? Maybe more than I imagine, but this is basically your only chance to see the eighth installment of the traveling porn extravaganza - they keep the videos under lock (for reasons you might imagine):

The only way to see Bike Smut is when it plays in a theater, bike shop or basement for a live audience. There are no DVDs for sale and no screeners for the media. This creates a challenge for us but is the only way to ensure the filmmaker's privacy, and it works. After more than 1,000 screenings we have had no leaks. We keep filmmakers' identity as safe as they desire.

Bike Smut is a shared experience. Typically we view porn only in the most private places in our home (or for some, at work) are rarely do we talk about it. This is a call for a more honesty in our sexuality. Sex happens. We can either ignore it or accept it. Watching Bike Smut in a social setting encourages talking about sex, gender and other topics considered taboo.

Bike Smut is civic. Current political policies are designed to repress sexual expression and transportation choice. The Bike Smut film festival challenges that trend by enthusiastically displaying the quality of creative expression and the amount of fun inherent in both cycling and sex. Both actives are worth elements of a healthy lifestyle and a pleasant quality of life.

Tickets for Bike Smut 2014 are $6. More info at the event's Facebook page.

I love the fine people of the Church of God in Christ, who had their 107th Holy Convocation in St. Louis over the weekend, and I hope the best for the young man in this video, but I'm not sure his newfound dedication to the "womens" is going to take.

Republican Martha McSally's lead over Democratic Congressman Ron Barber in Congressional District 2 tightened to just 341 votes today after Pima County tabulated another 3,355 ballots.

More than 7,300 provisional ballots have been transferred to the Pima County Elections Department for verification, with an unknown number still in the possession of the Pima County Recorder's Office, according to Pima County spokesman Mark B. Evans. Rodriguez expects to finalize the process for nearly all provisional ballots by tomorrow and the Election Department will likely be able to count most of them by the end of the day.

We're told that just two ballots remain to be counted in Cochise County.

As McSally's lead shrinks, her legal team threatened legal action to disqualify some provisional ballots earlier today.

In what remains one of the tightest congressional races in the country, Republican candidate Martha McSally's legal team is taking steps to toss out the ballots of voters in Pima County.

McSally now leads Democratic Congressman Ron Barber in the Congressional District 2 race by 509 votes, with an estimated 9,000 provisional ballots still left to count. It's unclear how many of those votes are in Congressional District 2.

Attorney Eric H. Spencer, representing McSally and the Republican Party, emailed County Recorder F. Ann Rodriguez this morning to demand that any provisional ballot form that was missing a signature from both a poll worker and a voter be set aside.

Rodriguez and Chris Roads, Pima County registrar of voters, said they would continue processing the provisional ballots.

“Martha McSally will do anything to stop Southern Arizonans from making their voice heard at the ballot box,” said Team Barber spokeswoman Ashley Nash-Hahn. “We’ve seen her tricks before, when she tried to throw out votes in Cochise County, and we aren’t surprised to see her desperate moves to silence the voters of Southern Arizona.”

McSally spokesman Patrick Ptak was not available for comment.

Team McSally took legal action to toss ballots from Latino precincts in her narrow 2012 loss.

In 2012, Barber won the provisional ballot count, capturing roughly 55 percent to McSally's 45 percent.

With all but two votes counted in Cochise County, Republican challenger Martha McSally now leads Congressman Ron Barber by 509 votes.

Here in Pima County, an estimated 3,000 ballots are ready to be counted by the Elections Department this weekend, along with an estimated 9,000 provisional ballots that may or may not turn out to be valid. It's unclear as to how many of those are in Congressional District 2.

Both Barber and McSally are soliciting contributions to help pay for lawyers and other expenses in the event of a recount.

More numbers to come as we get them. County spokesman Mark B. Evans tells The Range that Pima County will not post new results before Monday.

In other close races:

• Democrat Randy Friese now leads Republican state lawmaker Ethan Orr by 199 votes in the Legislative District 9 House of Representatives race.

• Michael Hicks now leads Jen Darland by 351 votes in the Tucson Unified School District race.

Republican Martha McSally continued to lead Democratic Congressman Ron Barber by 317 votes after Pima County finished counting a batch of about 16,000 ballots today.

Another 2,000 early ballots in Pima County remain to be counted, along with roughly 10,000 provisional ballots that may or may not be valid, according to Pima County spokesman Mark B. Evans. There's no estimate as to how many of those ballots are in Congressional District 2.

Cochise County is wrapping up the processing of 1,100 provisional ballots.

More to come as we get the numbers.

Introducing STASH, a female duo from Los Angeles, who play what they describe as "Poppy-House".

STASH steps onto the Hollywood scene with a presence. The girl DJ duo made up of Steph and Amanda has built a local fan base in Los Angeles, dominating with their electronic dance music. This EDM pair has combined the concept of House music with originally written and produced Pop music.

Part live performance and part spectacle the duo bring a fresh perspective to the genre to create a style that is uniquely their own. STASH is a multi-media force smashing boundaries to grab the spotlight as part of a new breed of Pop/DJ artists.

Not only are their personalities larger than life, but these beauties have an energy that is unstoppable. Steph, a pop songwriter, is the rapper in duo making sure to never slow down her swag. Steph brings her advanced skills in production and DJing for RedBull Spring Break, Sundance and South by Southwest to give these ladies a confidence on stage that is unreal. Amanda, who is a classically trained singer with a background in Opera, has lent her vocals to many genres, from Opera, to RnB and Rap. A veteran in the industry for both her writing and singing, Amanda stands out as power vocals of her generation.

No Tucson appearances scheduled yet, but we'll keep you updated.

We know it's a big night on Saturday, what with that homecoming game between Arizona and Colorado, but if you're not watching the game somewhere, consider popping by Etherton Gallery for the opening reception for Land Exposures: Jamey Stillings, Richard Laugharn, David Emitt Adams with Chris Colville. I got an early look at the show last night; it's a extraordinary collection of photography (not that we've expect anything less from Etherton). Stallings' images of solar power plants in the Mojave Desert, in particular, are terrific—he has taken landscape photos from a helicopter that will astound you.

The reception is from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. Stop on by if you're out and about downtown.

Here's a note about the photographers from Etherton:

OK, so that occasional and extremely lo-fi series taking place at a bar near you continues with Tucson musician Amochip Dabney, founder of the Amosphere, a tight and talented group of musicians who perform blues, New Orleans, reggae, rock and many of Amo's own. He's fun to talk with, but you better figure out a time to catch his band. They have a loyal following for a reason—and please don't be afraid to dance. People, when did that become a thing?

A great place to see Amosphere is at the Boondocks, which is where we met up with Amo and his partner, Jill Davis-Nunes, for some Bloody Marys and beers. They have a show at the Boondocks coming up Nov. 21. If you can't make that, get to Maker House on Nov. 14, Whiskey Tango on Nov. 15 or the eastside Sakura on Nov. 28.

And to keep in touch with his shows and music, visit his band's Facebook page or Amo's website, amochip.me.
