It began as many dreams do, 300 boomboxes and a prayer.

Our sights were set on uncharted territory- the United States Of America. And with Occupy actions taking place in all the cities we were headed for, they were on high alert. What would happen when our foreign freakshow invaded their streets was anyone’s guess.

On Christmas eve, wearing Christmas sweaters, we crossed the border without incident.

Over the next 39 days, we traversed nearly 15,000km, delivering nine crazy DDPs to eight major American cities, enjoying countless adventures with 1,000,000 new friends.

We did not get deported, arrested, shot, or even bothered by anyone. On many nights, we actually GAINED boomboxes. The police were cool everywhere we went. Time after time, America proved herself to be generous, respectful and helpful. The kids are alright.

These two Heroines even put their lives on the line, driving 60 hrs through the snow to deliver 50 boomboxes to New York City to save the Party. Unbelievable.

The following photos showcase the moments we created and shared with thousands of the finest human beings to ever walk the earth. Big thanks to all the beautiful people who came out and supported the Party Revolution!

It all ended much like it began, a weird pile of junk in a location.

But this weird junkpile won’t remain dormant for long. Secret DDPs are scheduled for Toronto on February 15th, Austin on March 10th,and  Calgary on March 17th.

And another American tour is scheduled for April, as long as y’all can get it together and start supporting the Kickstarters! (which all expire in a few days). Spread The Word.

Even though it was -10 below and snowing, a couple thousand people showed up and got wild with us on Saturday night in Saskatoon…

Big thanks to the Saskatoon police for ensuring everything went smoothly.

And we survived another death-defying hellride home through the mountains (the drive from Vancouver to Saskatoon and back is 3200km- almost one tenth the circumference of earth).

Big thanks to everyone who came out and supported the cause!

The only downside was that we lost 100 stereos that night, an all time low :(
We have created THIS EVENT PAGE in order to help recover them. Please spread the word and help us sustain the Party Revolution!

A photo essay of the entire adventure is located HERE.

Our Saskatoon DDP fundraiser was SUCCESSFUL, and the final Canadian Party date of Party Safari 2011 was booked for November 5th in Saskatoon.

Snow was forecast, so we grabbed 150 boomboxes, dressed sharp and headed East…

AFTER A DEATH-DEFYING 27-HOUR NONSTOP HELLRIDE THROUGH ROCKY MOUNTAIN BLIZZARDS, WE ARRIVED IN SASKATOON.

THE PARTY DROPS IN 6 HOURS- THE STARTING POINT IS HERE:

SNOW IS FORECAST AGAIN AND IT’S GONNA BE AT LEAST TEN BELOW.
GET READY FOR ANOTHER CRAZY COLD PARTY NIGHT IN CANADA.

Gary recently shared the Decentralized Sound System (DSS) with Occupy Vancouver:

The DSS is extremely resilient and extremely effective and 20 boomboxes can easily transmit music or voice to a crowd of 500. It is infinitely scalable, completely portable and can also be rigged to broadcast silently through headphones when noise regulations are an issue. All of the equipment is compact, inexpensive and readily available. And it can communicate twice as fast as the human microphone. For these reasons, it is believed that Decentralized Sound Systems would be a great asset to the Occupy movement.

And so this video was created. And so it is hoped that you will share it with anyone related to the Occupy movement and/or anyone who could use a DSS to better communicate/have more fun.

Get in touch HERE if you’d like more info on how to create your own DSS or discuss the topics covered in the video above. A PDF of The Future Will Not Be Centralized is available HERE.

Gary is also currently working very hard to get all the content back up on the brand new Decentralized Community website. For the moment it is unfortunately unimpressive…

In the near future, we’ll be releasing a step-by-step guide detailing how to create your own rock solid DSS and use it to throw life-changing Parties and/or aid world-changing social movements.

We’ve also just released the full Party Safari 2011 video, which is a great demonstration of the DSS’s ability to create good times for thousands of people:

We’ve also released an Indiegogo fundraising page so we can hopefully throw Saskatoon the Halloween Party they were promised. Due to unfortunate time constraints, it can’t be held until November 5th. But that is Gary’s birthday, so it’s all good, right?

ALSO! The American Party Safari is still definitely going ahead. All info HERE.
