An 80-page rough draft was just completed and the DDP will soon be 100% Open-Source!
This exhaustive and authoritative strategy guide reveals all the Top Secret Information required to create and host a successful Decentralized Dance Party.
It will give rise to hundreds of Autonomous DDP Party Cells and ensure the success of
The Global Party Pandemic AKA The Grand Unification Tour!
One step closer to the Nobel Prize for Partying!
We’ve been hard at work on Another Night, Another Dream and wanted to share a highlight reel from the reckless and ridiculous early days of the DDP- an era when no holds were barred and the odds of survival were substantially lower…
We also made a very special TV appearance last week- part of our Doge Weekend:
During the festivities, it was realized that the best way to finance The Global Party Pandemic AKA The Grand Unification Tour will be to sell $1,000,000 worth of “Peace Bonds”, which will likely be denominated exclusively in Dogecoin.
For full details, click the beautiful Doge below:
And in case you missed it- another delightful compilation of early DDP hijinks:
We’ll also be working hard on The Official DDP Field Manual and The Social Stereo in the coming months- stay tuned for details!
It was a very Doge weekend; kicking off with our Decentralized #DogeParty:
And concluding with a very special TV interview:
Along the way, it was realized that the best way to finance The Global Party Pandemic AKA The Grand Unification Tour will be to sell $1,000,000 worth of “Peace Bonds”, which will likely be denominated exclusively in Dogecoin. Click the pic for all details!

There’s a Decentralized currency festival called Coinfest in Vancouver this weekend and we’ve volunteered to host a very special afterParty on Saturday night.
LOCATION:
The Party will be held at the India Gate restaurant, which will be retrofitted with lights, fog machines, trampolines, boomboxes, a giant rocket ship, and All The Best Party Tunes.
There’s a slight possibility that the Party will become Decentralized later in the evening, but no promises 😉
THEME:
In case you were unaware, ensuring that Dogecoin ascends to the moon is the most pressing global issue of 2014:
As such, taking a cue from the recent Dogecoin Party hosted by our NYC-based brethren, the theme will again be “Doges In Space“.
So get Spaced Out and/or Doged Up and come on down to India Gate between 10PM-2AM to join us for a night of weirdness, revelry, and CryptoMania!
Follow the Party online via the #DogeParty hashtag, and if you’d like to support our tireless moon efforts, shoot a ‘lil DOGE to our radical new Dogecoin donation QR. (Magical QR wizardry c/o @GaryckArntzen)

A roundup of all the craziness that went down before, after, and betwixt our Crazed Kickstarter Campaign is lovingly showcased on Gary’s personal blog.
Click any of the pics below to be magically transported to the appropriate web-sphere!
With the generous support of 533 beautiful backers, our Kickstarter goal was reached and the Global Party Pandemic Of 2014 will soon come to pass.
Our website was down for most of the final week, we received almost zero press coverage from the hundreds of media outlets we contacted, and a million other ridiculous problems bedeviled our campaign for every single one of those 35 crazy days.
We even lost two full weeks when we extended our credit and drove 10,000 kms from Vancouver to Texas and back in order to promote the Kickstarter via another SXSW DDP and get featured on Nightline.. assuming we made it there, and assuming we even made it over the border with a van crammed full of the weirdest cargo possible…
We gambled everything we didn’t have, went for it as hard as we could, and with the tireless support of our beloved friends and supporters, made yet another chapter of this crazy dream reality.
Thanks so much to everyone involved. We are won’t let you down.
Here’s the Nightline piece, released on the same night we reached our Kickstarter goal. Never before has the DDP been so masterfully portrayed. Thanks Meredith 😉
And here’s a weird update video from Gary, part of a recent joke update that seemed to infuriate and/or confuse almost everyone.. oops.
We must also say a final Huge Thanks to Evan White for the PR assistance, and to Ian Mackenzie, who served as our crowdfunding strategist- hire his services and check out his other fine work HERE.
Aaaaand to Boomcase and Jammypack for the most excellent backer rewards:
More updates soon to come!
Kickstarter rewards shipping soon!
Love Everlasting,
Tom and Gary and The Elite Banana Task Force
MASSIVE thanks to all the 511 people who donated, the 5,000+ who shared, and everyone who’s been helping out behind the scenes for all these years!
In these remaining six hours, we’ve decided to add a new “Stretch Goal” of $30,000
Basically, $25,000 is the Bare Minimum that will be required to create the film and website, and any amount we raise above and beyond our goal will enable us to make the website and the film Better and Better and greatly increase the odds of the DDP successfully Saving The World.
And a portion will be directed towards the development of our Social Stereo (A revolutionary new Open-Source Boombox that is a key component of The Party Revolution and will surely alter the course of history).
And if we DO reach our $30,000 Stretch Goal, we promise to assemble and post “Tom and Gary’s Top 150 Party Tracks” (the list and a Youtube playlist also) and all of you will be remotely enabled to have The Best Time Ever, whenever you please.
Surely The Single Greatest Compendium of Party Tracks Every Assembled, you need this in your life.
And so we ask that you please keep on sharing.. and you can still easily raise your pledge if you’re feeling inspired 😉 (a bunch of people have asked if this is possible).
And don’t forget to tune in for our piece on “Nightline” tonight:
“An incisive late-night news series that analyzes the day’s top stories with interviews and reports.”
When Partying is recognized as a Top International News Story, Anything Is Possible.
Unconditional Love,
Tom and Gary and The Elite Banana Task Force
