Not An Alternative

Sunday, July 25th - 1pm-5pm - Props Production in preparation for The NEO CONey Block Party and Fashion Show

This Sunday at the potluck BBQ we’re going to starting building toward a major upcoming noRNC production. In preparation for The NEO CONey Block Party, August 14th, we’ll be assembling Madison Square Garden (a model only slightly reduced in scale) out of cardboard and wood. This theatrical prop will serve as a monument to the RNC protests and as the blocks party’s central focal point. Rather than as a building, hijacked by a corporate elite, the MSG we will build is going to serve as a historic marker. It will provide the rallying point around which a new nation that we are constructing will be born. We going to require all available hands to fabricate this event so if you’ve got skills at all, or at very least the drive to effect change then stop by to offer support. Come by and brainstorm with us. Bring your tools, bring your friends, bring materials, bring your enthusiasm and let’s make this happen!

On-site materials include:
paints, foam core, projector, sewing machine, fun fur, fabric, wood, cardboard, saw, heat gun, magazines (collages), TV/VCR, sundry supplies, hot dog buns, condiments, pickles

Materials wish-list:
craft materials: glitter, sequins, buttons, etc, more fabric, costumes/masks, DVD player, laser printer, card tables, foldable chairs, brushes, drill/tools, hamburger buns, veggie burgers/dogs, chips, fixin’s, beer

(bring project ideas or projects we’ll help you make them happen)
