May 31, 2013 —
Every summer, a handful of superhero movies play in theaters around the globe. International audiences love cheering on extraordinary humans as they use superior strength, intellect, and speed to fight off terrifying villains.
In the real world, mere mortals need not spend time getting jealous of the supernatural experiences had by fictional billionaires with altruistic alter egos. June offers a slew of stupefying events sure to knock the socks off all of Earth’s denizens.
Hundreds of brave Angelenos don’t need capes at the World Naked Bike Ride LA 2013 in Southern California. Instead, participants cruise through Echo Park, Silver Lake, and Downtown with only strategically-placed body paint concealing their private “identities” from onlookers. Up north, real-life Bruce Waynes in San Francisco don their finest freshly-bleached garb as they take advantage of bottle service at Ruby Skye’s Annual White Party.
Meanwhile, valiant Rome rockers fill the aisles of Rock in Roma where musical messiahs like Radiohead, The Killers, and Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band once performed. Similarly, Spanish metalheads and hardcore fans jam along to what could be the soundtrack of an Iron Man movie at the rowdy Sonisphere Barcelona 2013.
This June, it’s okay not to be a superhero. There are too many ridiculously fun global soirees that would get in the way of saving the world anyway.

Rome was home to the original reality entertainment – long before the likes of the Kardashians and Jersey Shore – where gladiators fought lions, convicted criminals, and other gladiators to the death in front of rowdy crowds at the historic Colosseum.
Rock in Roma might not offer the same mortal thrill that gladiator fights once did,
