How to do it well

• You must vet the people trying to enter the party.
  • Mood
    • If someone's in a bad mood, they're going to bring down the general mood at the party.

  • Awesome, just awesome.
  • It reminds me of the big bicycle events in DC / LA that John would always talk about.
  • I think DC also had some kind of walking event, but I don't remember what it was.
  • This is also like the floats in the Pride parades.
  • It may be worth noting that–apparently–the dancers in the video were not dancing to the song that is featured in the video. And the video is (obviously) an edited-down depiction of what it would have been like to be present at that event. So the video may not be conveying the actual feeling of being at the party.
  • Cool things they did:
    • Costumes
    • Good dancers
    • Cool lights on the truck
    • They rented a huge 16-wheeler(?) to hold everyone in.
    • It was totally improvised / not part of a big bureaucratic event.
    • The dancers were doing crazy stuff like hanging upside-down off the outside of the truck with their heads just above the street.
