Over 10,000 people have now signed up to help recreate the Olympic Spirit of 2010.

BRING A BOOMBOX.

Once again, we request that everyone please be respectful: do not leave garbage in our streets, respect public property, and help us to ensure this remains a positive, peaceful celebration. If we work together, this can become an annual event…

2010 COAST-2-COAST PATRIOTIC PARTY SAFARI:

Halloween Was Bananas!

Gary Lachance — Sat, 06 Nov 2010 17:57:09 +0000

We survived Party Safari. To celebrate, we assembled a 70-strong Banana Army and ran amuck for several hours, then teamed up with another 500 food cohorts at the Vancouver Art Gallery and embarked on a Party Marathon that lasted 10 straight hours. Not even the relentless Vancouver rain could stop us from Partying hard till the sun came up!

The photos are up on our site HERE.

And on FBook HERE.

Highlights include: going bananas on the skytrain, going bananas in waterfront station, going bananas in the Bananadome, the Forbidden Banana Dance at the VAG, Skate Rink Dance Party, Skate Rink Food Fight and Brodie’s Escalator.

Huge thanks to everybody that came out in Banana Gear, Food Costumery, and anyone else who had an awesome time!

Unfortunately

This will be the last DDP for some time. Tom and Gary have exhausted their bodies, brains, wallets, boombox fleet, batteries, health and sanity. We will be hibernating for awhile, rebuilding for our 2011 North American Party Safari / Round-The-World Global Party Pandemic.

In The Meantime

- You can keep abreast on our FACEBOOK PAGE, where we will post exciting and earthshaking updates and videos often.

We will see you all in the Future.

Tom and Gary

Calgary DDP Was Amazing!

Gary Lachance — Wed, 20 Oct 2010 20:55:12 +0000

Oh yeah! The Party Safari Finale in Calgary, Alberta was killer! We definitely saw the most elaborate costumery at this Party and even below-freezing temperatures couldn’t stop more than 1000 revelers from dancing into the night. Everyone had a blast and danced their butts off from the Nexen Building all the way down 8th Ave to the Olympic Square. Some highlights include boogie-board crowd surfing in the alley, limbo through the streets, the Baby Boomer’s smoke, and Olympic Square Slow Dance.

The official DDP photos are up on Facebook HERE.

We want to thank everyone who came out and the Calgary Police for assisting us in maintaining a pleasant atmosphere. We will see everyone in the near future! Stay tuned!

Love,

Tom and Gary

We have made it to the final destination of our Coast to Coast Canadian Party Safari. We have driven 13 000 km across Canada and back. We have had a tremendous amount of fun. We have met so many amazing and great people. We can’t wait to see everyone again in the future.

But first we are having the Grand Finale Coast to Coast Canadian Party Safari Decentralized Dance Party. It is in Calgary. It is tonight. It starts at 8pm. It starts at the Nexen building fountain.
