2009 PROJECTS & PARTIES!

TORNADO RIDER WILL BE PLAYING 10PM THURSDAY. We need to get the word out. Idea? This is a good excuse for us to setup a big old projection screen behind them to use as a Psychedelic Backdrop and for Karaoke Drive In, powered by the Roarshack.

SPACE CAT DANCE PARTY: DJ'd by Roar Grant Peterson and DJ LAMS (nee Throbber Baron).  TBD

 

ROARSHACK events to include 1) Electric Cello Playa Serenade; this is where we crank up the shack and visit people and places around the playa and hit them with the power of the FUCKING CELLO! Don't know if this is a day or night event. You guys figure it out. and 2) DEEP PLAYA DANCE PARTY, where the Roarshack momentarily turns its back on Karaoke and gets all Electro/Acid/House/Breaks on your ASS. MARK + GRANT - PICK A NIGHT!!

(Post Tornado Rider? Post Burn? And of course 3) ROAMING KARAOKE DESTRUCTION!
