DDP Toronto Was Awesome!

The 12th Ever Decentralized Dance Party was Awesome! Toronto is a great city, and one Tom and Gary are proud to call their home away from home. One of many highlights was a coed crowdsurfing marathon down a loooong flight of stairs on Philosopher’s Walk!

The photos are up and can be viewed ON THE WEBSITE HERE, and ON FACEBOOK HERE

We would like to thank the Toronto Police for being cool with everyone and all those who came out and had a blast. If you want to help us get back to Toronto in the near future, you can click on the Paypal Donation tab on the right side of the website.

See you soon,

Tom and Gary

Winnipeg DDP A Grand Success

The 11th Ever Decentralized Dance Party was a Grand Success as over 1000 Party enthusiasts danced non-stop into the wee hours of the night!  We had way too much fun, and it was a ridiculous turnout for a Monday night!

We have posted the pictures on the website. And on Facebook

Highlights included: Amphitheater conga line, Skatepark limbo, Bridge takeover, Scotiabank singalong and Meatloaf fireworks.

We only lost about 5 or 6 boomboxes this time- a new record! Thanks for being so awesome Winnipeg. And thanks to the police for being so accommodating. We will definitely be back on the next tour.

We didn’t quite reach our projected donation goal to break even on the Party, so if you had the time of your life and want to help us out, you can still donate at our INDIEGOGO page. And you can only get this Rank DDP T-Shirt when you donate online. You can donate to us through paypal as well.  Just go to the link in the sidebar on the right. Let the world know you were there. They look like this and will have the tour dates on the back.

We will ship them out when we get back to Vancouver after Party Safari.

See you soon,

Tom and Gary

A Party Safari Update

PARTY LOVERS:

We are packing the motorhome and Party Safari begins tomorrow!
Here are the details you need to know:

DONATIONS:

We’re still pretty far behind where we’d hoped to be with donations.
And so we are unveiling one of our t-shirt designs to encourage people to donate:

We really do need some help to cover the costs of throwing 5 Parties over 15,000km, so if you can donate online or in person we will really appreciate it and hopefully not go bankrupt!
Donate here to receive your t-shirt and/or other cool perks:
http://www.indiegogo.com/DDP

DEPOSITS:

We will loan out about 100 boomboxes from our collection at each Party.  To ensure that we get them back at the end of the night, we need to get a deposit of $20 each for them ($40 for the best ones).  So if you want to borrow one, show up early and don’t forget your cash.  And we REALLY DO NEED THEM ALL BACK in order to keep the Party Safari going across Canada, so please don’t keep them!  If lots of them don’t get returned at the end of the night we will never come back!

MEETING POINT:

We will arrive in each city the day before and scout out the Party Route.
Then we will post the meeting point on the facebook event page.
Meet us at the meeting point at 8:00PM
If you have your own boombox, come a little early and we will help you tune it in to our Party Broadcast.
Then we turn on all the boomboxes and lead you on a DDP Party Adventure.

HOW TO PREPARE YOUR BOOMBOX:

http://www.decentralizeddanceparty.com/2010/09/12/how-to-prepare-your-boombox-for-a-ddp/

ALCOHOL:

As we said in the invite, we will be out in public so alcohol is not allowed.  If people are drinking openly the chances of our Party getting shut down are increased so please don’t.  If you choose to drink, do so beforehand.  If you choose to disregard our advice, please do so very discreetly, in a pop bottle or whatever.  But seriously, you will be amazed at how much fun you can have at a DDP without drinking.  We were too.  PLEASE SHARE THIS INFORMATION WITH EVERYONE YOU KNOW WHO IS COMING!

CHARITY FUNDRAISING:

As we said on our fundraising page, if we can raise $4000 in your city and cover our costs, whatever money we raise beyond that amount will be split 50/50 with your city’s charity of choice.  If you have a charity to recommend, please post it on the event page for your city.

COSTUME CONTEST:

Our friends from Vancouver who run www.beachtravellers.com have offered to sponsor a costume contest.
They will be running around in gorilla suits looking for the best costume- so look sharp!
We are hoping as many people as possible will join us and participate in the Red+White Canadian / Sports theme.
Don’t be left out.

BRING:

Bring mini trampolines, helium balloons, beach balls, any Party Props that are fun and safe.

SEE YOU SOON!
Tom and Gary

Party Safari Is A Go!

The Party Safari has hit a few bumps since the initial planning, but Tom and Gary are committed to spreading the fun and awesomeness of the DDP across Canada, North America, and Earth. The Tour has had to be revised at the last minute due to a number of factors, but now looks like this:

Saskatoon, SK – Oct. 2nd

Winnipeg, MB – Oct. 4th

Toronto, ON – Oct. 7th

Fredericton, NB – Oct. 9th

Calgary, AB – Oct. 16th

But only with your help can we succeed.

Each of these links leads to our fund-raising page in the corresponding city:

Saskatoon

Winnipeg

Toronto

Fredericton

Calgary

We are 2 guys bankrupting ourselves to make this happen.

We need to raise $4000 in each city in order to fund our tour.

If you can, please help us help you Party. We will greatly appreciate it, and you won’t be disappointed!

The full details are available on our Tour Page HERE

See you at the Parties,
Tom+Gary
