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!

Six short months have seen the DDP grow one thousandfold 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!!!

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!

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!
