OMG! WTF? PRD.

This Town (Desperately) Needs A Parade~

Welcome to TTNP (sorry, its a great title but a crappy acronym) site/blog. We are just starting to rally our troops to prepare for this upcoming parade and we need some new recruits- so if you are interested in getting involved in these shananigans- you can do a few things:
1. send an email to thistownneedsaparade@gmail.com
2. go on over to the facebook and join the group for TTNP, found here. We'll be announcing things from there and on this website.

For those new to the parade, here is some background:

One fateful night, four years ago, a group of mason gross students formed a blood-bound pact and took an oath: to provide this town with what is so desperately needs: a parade.
The parade has no political agenda, nor theme. The only thing we protest against is boredom. Our only goal is to have a ridiculous evening.
People come from all over the world (read: campus) to celebrate in this monumental (read: medium sized) event! Costumes abound! Many build floats! There are instruments and noisemakers! Candy! Baked foods! Bands rocking out! DJs and Dancing! What more could we ask for?!

The 411:
At some time (tbd) in the evening of a day near Halloween (also, to be announced soon) all paraders and marauders gather at the front steps of the Civic Square Building (this is the Mason Gross building on Livingson Ave, just one blog from George St.). We rally, chear, scream, and mill about until the time is just right. We march (on the sidewalk, mostly..) down George St, up Albany, and Down College Ave towards Brower Commons- where we have music and perhaps even some snacks! Music includes live bands and dance-party-providin' DJs!

Live bands so far includes Seal Club, with more to be announced.


Want to be involed? Here are some ways:
We always need help advertising and getting more people to come out for the event- so tell your friends. Maybe print out a few flyers and put them in your dorm or apt- or bring them to the next gallery or basement show you go to. If you want to print out a flyer, you can download one here. Print, copy, cut and distribute!

Other ways to get involved:
-make banners, flags, signs for the parade! in the next few weeks, we'll announce a few artpart(ies), where we hang out, maybe drink some wine, and make some great paradart. are you getting sick of my affinity to combine words yet?
-make a float for the parade!
-help us organize the live music section of the parade. send us an email.

thats all for now,
PRD4.0

We, here at Parade, Inc., hope everyone is getting psyched for the parade- which is now 2 weeks away! The response has been great so far- we have 2 live bands and DJ lined up for what will be the BEST PARADE ON EARTH! (probably).

Here is what we still need from YOU:
>This Wed, oct 15th, we are having an art making party at 34 central- we want to make flyers, flags, banners, floats, costumes, etc! We have some paints, fabric, and some other supplies- but we could always use more supplies and- more importantly- we need YOU and YOU and YOU to come help us! There will be music, maybe some wine (its BYOB or we can chip in and do a drink run). Please come, please bring friends- again, this Wed, 8:30pm until whenever.
>Help us advertise! Print out flyers (from the facebook event photos) or make your own! invite your friends to the facebook event or just tell them about it in real life.

Thats all I got, I hope you are all deviously planning costumes and maybe even a shoppingcart-or-wheel-barrow-float.

I say "This Town Needs A Parade!"



Hey everybody- I have a great idea for advertising this parade- Anyone who wants this parade and wants their friends to know about this parade might want to do the following: Take thier current facebook profile picture, and bring it into photoshop. Then copy the logo on the top of this blog page (the speech bubble that says "THIS TOWN NEEDS A PARADE" and put it onto their pictures- AS IF YOU ARE SAYING IT!
I think its a good way of getting the word out if enough people do it, it will be a thing- you know, a thing that people say 'hey, people are doing this thing- thats weird, i wonder why.'
myspace, too- why not, right? also- change the picture in that creepy sex-sharing site that you are on and don't tell anyone about, even if the picture is just of your crotch. advertisement is advertisement.

cosmic dance

make it happen


you can do it!!!

THIS TOWN NEEDS CONFETTI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
