The Grand Finale Olympic DDP Was A Runaway Success!

WHAT AN AMAZING NIGHT- THANK YOU TO THE THOUSANDS WHO CAME OUT AND ROCKED VANCOUVER IN STYLE!!!!!!!

Highlights included Art Gallery Audacity, Granville Street Mayhem, Library Square Sing-Off, Public Fountain Swim-Meet and a Main and Hastings Meatloaf Finale!

Stay tuned for more Official Photos of the night and the Official Eighth Ever Decentralized Dance Party Video!

We’re going to take a break now to rebuild our fleet of boomboxes (we lost about 60 last night) and recover from four ridiculous Parties in one month but WE WILL RETURN!

Seven short months have seen a hundredfold increase in Decentralized Dance Participation and it’s very inspiring!

Vancouver definitely loves to Party and we definitely love to make it happen!

Please join our mailing list and facebook for updates!!!

If you had fun last night, please consider a small donation (see sidebar) to help us rebuild.

And if you ended up with one of our boomboxes, please email us at “decentralized dance party at gmail . com” to arrange a return :)

PARTY GOLD FOR EVERYONE!!!
YOU ARE AWESOME!!!

Grand Finale Decentralized Dance Party

THIS IS THE BIG ONE.

WE ARE GOING TO BANKRUPT OURSELVES BUYING PARTY PROPS
UNLEASH OUR CRAZIEST SECRET BOOMBOXES
LOSE OUR MINDS
AND RISK IT ALL

TOGETHER, WE WILL REDEFINE THE GAME
AND SHOW THE WORLD WHAT GOLD MEDAL PARTYING IS ALL ABOUT!

This is going to be Tom+Gary’s last Decentralized Dance Party for quite some time.
And maybe for all time.

So you’d better be there.

Together, we will host and compete in the Ultimate Party Olympics.
A showcase of Strength, Daring, Dexterity and Uninhibited Self Expression!
There will be Sexy Surprises
Things you cannot imagine
And things you may never fathom.

Grown men will weep openly
Athleticism will meet Art in ungodly configurations
And Music will forever span the Great Human Divide!

Together, we can show the world that Partying is the greatest sport known to Man!
And that Canada does it better than anyone else!

It will look something like this, but many times better, louder and crazier!

WHEN AND WHERE:

Start Time: Saturday, February 27, 2010 at 9:00pm
Location: Art Gallery- Georgia Street Side- By The Lion Stairs

THE PERTINENT DETAILS:

-PLEASE Share this invite with everyone you know to maximize our collective Party Potential!

-Wear only Red And White and bring tons of Canada flags and paraphernalia

-Do your best to acquire a boombox to tune in to our Party Broadcast (and paint it red and white if you’re feeling inspired) Tom+Gary will provide 100 BOOMBOXES of our own, but the more the merrier and those 100 will go fast!

-If it’s raining, just bring an umbrella and bag your boombox.. The Party WILL NOT BE CANCELLED!

-The Party will take place on Saturday February 27th at a time and location that will soon be announced. Confirm your attendance on the official FACEBOOK INVITE to stay informed. Or sign up for our mailing list on the right ——>

We desperately need:
-Pole vault poles
-Trampolines
-Referees
-Love

THE PLAN:

For this event, Tom+Gary have chosen the most fun theme possible:
Any sport that was ever featured in the Olympics (both Summer and Winter) or should have been! So, any sport, or combination of sports that you can imagine!

We want trampoliners, hockey players, pole vaulters, footballers, skiers, skateboarders, snowboarders, ballerinas, ROLLERBLADERS, shot putters, bobsledders, weightlifters, bowlers, tug-of-war-ers, cyclists, whatever! Amateur or professional, young or old, all are invited!
But please dress only in Red+White!

And!
Bring along as many SOFT bats, balls, birdies, pucks, rackets, nets, mallets and SOFT sports-related projectiles/catchers as you can! We will combine all sports into the craziest, funniest, unruliest Party Games the world has ever witnessed!

THE MUSIC:

You can’t have a Party without music, thus:
Tom+Gary have engineered a portable Decentralized Sound System- an FM transmitter in a backpack that broadcasts Nonstop Dance Music, Jock Jams, and Classic Rock out to a huge crowd of people carrying boomboxes, which are all tuned in to our station, thereby creating a powerful+portable synchronized sound system!
The effect is truly amazing!
Check out these videos to see just how fun Decentralized Dance Parties really are!

But unlike past Decentralized Dance Parties, this one is actually sanctioned, as we’ve been invited to lead a giant roaming Decentralized Dance Party through downtown Vancouver as part of the Made In Vancouver Festival!

The Made In Vancouver Festival is a huge outdoor arts festival organized by “I Heart Van Art” (www.iheartvanart.com) featuring the audiovisual offerings of hundreds of local Vancouver artists throughout the Olympics.
Our job is to attract as many random people as possible to our Party and then lead everyone together in a huge group as we roam through the city and Party Hearty all the way through the Made In Vancouver Fest and beyond!

This action will last many hours and is guaranteed to be the best show in town!
YOU are an essential component!
And it’s 100% FREE!

THIS EVENT HAS NO AFFILIATION WITH VANOC WHATSOEVER!

The 6th Ever Decentralized Dance Party

Once again, the 6th Ever Decentralized Dance Party was the best yet!!

Literally thousands joined in on the fun and the all-night rain couldn’t even slow us down as Vancouver came together, dancing like maniacs and showing The World what it means to Party!  Big thanks!  You did Tom+Gary+Canada very, very proud!!!

Highlights included: Urban Luging up Davie, Dumpster Dancing, Granville Street Skydive+Crowdsurfing, Robson Rink Radicalysm, and 4 Brother’s Pizza!

The next Party is slated for Saturday, Feb. 20th in Whistler.  We’re still working out details, but it looks like we’ll be chartering a Party Bus or two!  Westbeach has kindly provided us with some Party Paraphernalia and we plan to hold a Party-lympics with several fun events. The invite will be posted soon, but the easiest way to keep abreast is to sign up for our mailing list on the right —->

The next Party after that is scheduled for Saturday, February 27th in downtown Vancouver, once again for the Made In Vancouver Festival and featuring more boomboxes, more sports, more fun, more dancing, more contests and a Very Sexy Surprise!

Once again, we spent many hundreds of dollars ($250 on balloons alone) to create that Party, and we are quite poor.  So if you had a great time last night, a donation of any amount would be greatly appreciated!  We want to throw more Parties, more often, and with more intensity- but we can’t do it alone!!  You need the Party, and the Party needs you!

We also lost about 20 of our boomboxes, including some of our favorites.  If you have one, please get in touch with us at  Or even better, slap in some fresh batteries and bring it to the next party!

Stay tuned for the official DDP photos and video of the night…

See you at the Party,

T+G
