Choose your allegiance between the two fabulous party nations of VULGARIA & TAKISTAN. After an impassioned disagreement over whether a Pomeranian's nose is mauve or puce, a great wall has been erected between them, patrolled by the world's sexiest border guards.
Celebrate the absurd & arbitrary nature of borders, bureaucracy, and class inequality with us in this epic event that is designed to inspire the joys of insurrection, freedom, & integration.

The grungy Eastern Block gypsy state of VULGARIA invites you to celebrate the most debaucherous of holidays, National Vulgaria Day, the filthiest drunken day of the year. Festivities ruled by the corrupt dictator DAVO , featuring The People's National Thieves Market ,Tattoos, Rickshaw rides, Raunchy Street Food, Bike Jousting, Catherine the Terrible's Cossack Guard, Fortune Telling at the Altar of Saraghina, visuals by VJ FuzzyBastard, and Surprises!

The opulent monarchy of TAKISTAN invites you on the day of the great royal wedding to enjoy decadent attractions, featuring His Majesty's Royal Casino, Princess Cupcake's Naughty Boudoir, The Grand Inquisitor's quiz show, Dr. Adventure's Royal Guard, The Royal Passport Scavenger Hunt, the Royal Ultra-Tacky Runway Show, Live acts by Laura McMillian of the Egyptian Shumba and by Sugar in the Gas Tank, S&M Royal Wedding Visuals by The Housewives' Guide to Anatomy, Dirty Uncle Pony Rides and More Surprises!
Dress in your Princess Best for a chance to wed the dashing Prince of Takistan!

Patriotic Libations include: Vulgaria's national cocktail "The Three-Legged Mule" and Her Majesty's royal imbibement "Groundskeeper's Embrace at the Summer Palace" and yes, back by popular demand "Morning After Pill Jello Shots!"

Our hero, Reid Stowe, passing under the Manhattan Bridge today. Last year, Reid broke the record for consecutive days at sea without resupply - 1,152 days - and his partner, Soanya, broke the record for longest sea voyage for a woman. They and their three-year-old son, Darshen, just got booted from their docking space in Queens and are looking for a home! If you have ANY leads for where they might find a space in or around Manhattan, please email them at reidstowe@1000days.net.

Animal Farm Ruled!! (Clear your calendar for our next party, June 3, details TBA.)
