Yeah, I'm pimping my event.
But there's a doooo it backstory:

2 yrs ago I decided I wanted to throw a party at a club.
I'd never done it, didn't know how to go about doing it.
Had no relationships with clubs.
Decided to just do it.

Didn't know how things would turn out (do we ever?).
Dooooing it did change me and was one factor in bringing together a huge, wonderful Tribe-tastic community (not to mention getting a coupla great couples coupled up).

So this is my 3rd Annual ApRiL fOoLiGaNs.
Come.
Or not.
But you'll have more fun if you come.

More info than you prolly care to read:

Q: What IS this ApRiL fOoLiGaNs? It’s not April Fool’s day.
A: The 1st ApRiL fOoLiGaNs was on 4/01/04. The name is terribly silly and somehow it stuck. This is the 3rd one. And it’s on 4/20…heh, heh.

Q: Is it a Tribe party? Who all goes?
A: Sorta. Tribe don’t gimme no cash or nuttin’ but Tribe, the site, definitely made these parties possible. There are people from a smattering of different communities—I’m a cross-fertilization activist of sorts and do typically practice radical inclusion.

Q: What if I don’t know anybody that’s going?
A: Then I’d say it’s about time you delurk yer ass. Don’t worry if you don’t know nobody---it won’t stay that way (we take certain measures).

Q: Is it all thumpah-thumpah music? I can’t take 8 hrs of that. (Yeah, right.)
A: No, Oasis has 2 rooms of music and we have a range from punk rock, indie pop, breaks & techno (and prolly some other stuff too). Ricky Lee Robinson bringing pop/rock originals & my favorite sing-a-longs (www.rickyleerobinson.com).

Q: C’mon, 6pm? When does the party REALLY start?
A: Since we have 8 hrs to play around with the evening starts nicely after work, with many folks opting to enjoy a sit-down dinner of yummy African fare--including dodo (my favorite name for a dish, EVER). (my favorite name for a dish, EVER).
