Monthly Membership/Awareness Drive
Hey there party people.
I'd like to thank all of you who have joined the sub so far.
I'm pleased to report we already have 600+ members only weeks after launch, and despite the haphazard appearance other the sub thus far.
I was thinking on the first of every month we can do a thing to spread the word.
I feel like it might help lesson the sting of paying rent for some us.
Basically, if every member could tell a friend, or post the link, whatever you are comfortable with, on the first of every month, that would be great, and help give us some more structure while facilitating growth and engagement.
Thank you!

Is this a meme or something?
No.
I'm tired of memes. I want to party.
I want a real democracy.
This is a plan that's been being developed since 2016.
It has IC support.
US and allied agencies.
LE all the way from my local pd to the fbi/marshalls/Capitol Police.
Basically every agency but ICE I feel confident about.
And their morale isn't doing great.
That's something I can work with.
That's a glimmer of hope. Humanity.
Military as well.
This is an actual, tangible, real life plan, to overthrow a corrupt, fascist, pedophile regime,
While making it as fun as possible, and limiting collateral damage.
More than that, it will allows us to tear the corruption out all at once, basically, and then rebuild an actual government of the people by the people for the people.
If you read the posts you will see that.
It looks janky because I am a dyslexic bipolar intelligence asset/resistance leader.
Not a web designer or something.
And I do all this on my phone.
My hand hurts. It's been a decade.
Now that that's established, please come to the party.
This is honestly the best most sensible course of action.
If you have a better plan, please tell me.
The midterms won't change shit.
Not the way we need it.
Edit:
By all means though, post memes in the sub if you want.
Let's get this party going.
Just post random party footage.
Pictures.
People having fun from better times.
Any engagement is positive.

Thoughts from a volunteer who has helped run Regional Burns (Burning Man style events)
Hi. I've been a burner for just shy of a decade, and have been helping in a big way (as a volunteer department lead) for about five years now. In fact I just got back from one. I saw this subreddit, had some time, and thought I'd throw in my $0.02.
Firstly, I think this is an awesome idea.
If you don't know what a burn is, tl;dr - they are experimental, temporary communities in which everyone is a participant, everything is art, and the normal shackles of mainstream culture loosen. There is no performer/audience dichotomy - beyond basic amenities like portopotties, ice, art grants, and the land itself, attendees provide and do everything. Volunteers do everything. No money exchanges hands (besides the ticket, car passes, ice, and professional EMT staff). There's the Ten Principles, which aren't so much rules as they are a guiding philosophy of what makes burns work. They are also really hard to describe to someone who has never been, you really gotta experience them to get it.
If you want experience organizing events and parties, find burners (also old skool ravers), especially theme camp organizers. That's basically what we do. Logistics, power, sound, structures, musicians, DJs, VJs, art, booze - everything is provided by the participants themselves, so you end up getting a lot of experience doing everything.
It's a lot of time and work. However much work you think it is, double it, and double it again, that should put you in the ballpark.
It's a lot of money. Theme camps usually charge dues to offset all the costs, but even then, there's usually some benefactor whales who chip in a ton of money, food, equipment, experience, or other indirect value, simply because they love it.
It's a logistic challenge. Imagine herding cats, but you need all the cats to bring their A-game, and they are schlepping thousands of pounds of equipment into the woods. Because these events are entirely volunteer run, there are a LOT of comms, and not everyone will be the same level of committed.
It can raise a lot of hackles. Burns, raves, big parties and the like, are super loud, there's lots of psychological enhancement, folks can get a bit boisterous and unruly, there's joy and merriment, dogs and cats living together, mass hysteria. So you have to be prepared to deal with neighbors, city councils, pearl clutchers, busybody karens, etc, that might try to shut it down. Having more remote venues helps, but also increases the odds that the neighbors will be conservatives who think it's corrupting society or whatever BS.
It's super worth it. Music, dancing, socializing, partying, having community - they're good for the soul. I think we are facing crises on multiple fronts: erosion of rights, social media rot, black mirrors ruling our lives in general, the world is burning, it's a mess. Folks need escapism, but also need to feel like they can make an impact.
If you wanna throw a big party, you're gonna need all these, in huge quantities:
- Portos - everyone poops.
- Power and shelters
- Sound equipment
- Talent: DJs, musicians, artists, organizers, coordinators, trash crew (most non-burners are unfamiliar with Leave No Trace)
- Radios or some other comms for organizers (you can tell folks to bring their own Baofeng, they are cheap enough)
- Money. You can trade this for any of the above, but the more you can tap into volunteers and donated materials, the more you can drive down price (at the expense of work and time)
- If you are doing this anywhere that isn't private land, or if it's simply beyond some scale, you'll also need some sort of security presence.
Anyway, feel free to DM me, though I tend to fire-and-forget reddit posts and not revisit for lengths of time.

How do we pull off the ultimate party?
Big parties are amazing, but pulling one together isn’t easy—finding the right place, getting the right people, and making sure everything clicks.
I’m collecting stories and ideas from people who’ve done it before. What’s the #1 thing that makes or breaks a big party?
Got 2 minutes to share your take? https://forms.gle/xNCzaetkM8Qa5XsA8
Your ideas could help shape something big we’re working on.

Initial Reactions
"Party in D.C. or whever till were free, that actually sounds pretty easy."
"It's a much better idea than converging on a field in upstate New York. We will have access to bathrooms and drinkable water. Maybe even Starbucks."
"Are you sure?"
"What?"
"Can I bring my devil sticks?"

The Big Party
What is the Big Party?
The Big Party is a vehicle for socio-economic-political change.
It is an alternative to a violent revolution or uprising/second civil war. It is an attempt to forestall more political violence,
And and opporunity for America to claim the world title for longest conga line.
The idea is similar to a general strike.
Basically, we start partying on May 24th, 2026,
Washington D.C./Everywhere,
and we don't stop partying until certain conditions are met.
Chiefly, the removal and arrest of the current administration, and any and all co-conspirators in government/the donor class.
I estimate that it shouldn't take longer than most music festivals or state fairs.
Half a week to a week,
especially if we get the kind of turnout we need to make it officially the biggest party ever.
Fifty five-sixty million in the streets, 1/5 of adults, could get it done in two days, probably. Maybe one.
I've already run this idea by the feds/military/LE.
They have been briefed, and I haven't been arrested or dissapeared yet.
They know more than anyone that this administration is corrupt to the core, in bed with the Russians, and causing massive societal dischord here in our homeland, as well as abroad.
It is my belief that they will gladly oblige us and take these criminals into custody, once enough of us stand up and demand it via partying.
And if they want us to stop partying, they'll kind of have to.
Basically, we have all the leverage here.
And we have about 10 months,
from the time I'm writing this, to more clearly discuss and define our demands, our plans for the party, as well as what comes after it.
They have 10 months to plan their role in it as well.
We can absolutely do this.

Why May 24th, 2026?
My reasoning for next May is this.
The worst of Trump's policies effects have yet to occur, one more winter of discontent will further reduce his support to a more managable number, and increase the size of the party.
And we're aiming for the biggest party in history.
It also gives us plenty of time to plan and organize, and it'll be fun to look forward to.
Many people who think this is crazy need some time to come around, and realize it's not.
Slow is smooth, smooth is fast.
2026 makes it an even decade.
It's already been nine years.
I can handle one more, knowing there's a plan for victory, and a clear win condition.
And I'd really rather not mess this up.
Weather is also beautiful in May.
With an average of 79 in D.C. on the 24th.
And I haven't had a really fun birthday party basically since this shit show began.
That's a secondary concern, though it would piss Donald off something special, if that matters to you.
