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,
