Large Marge Posted September 21, 2007 Report Share Posted September 21, 2007 In case you missed the under-recognized Car Free event in Toronto yesterday, not to fret! The best is yet to come!!! Join UFProductions, Vanagon Scott, FlyMyKiteHigh, Mister Slippery and I as we take over a parking space or two and giver on Queen Street West this Saturday, in celebration of World Car Free Day! We've been working on making a checkerboard dance floor, ambient, reflective curtains and whatever you can think of to add. If anyone has any good disco-dance or funk mixes, please let me know... We're going to need a few hours worth of tunes (Also looking to borrow an old-school boom-box, if anyone has one!) Let me know if you're coming, if you want me to account for you with cooler and pipe supplies! Event details below: World Car Free Day Join millions of people in over 1500 cities around the globe in celebration of WORLD CARFREE DAY! In Toronto, SATURDAY SEPTEMBER 22nd come out and show how much fun carfreedom can be! Host a PARKING METER PARTY (*see below) along Queen Street West from 1pm, then join the CARFREE PARADE at 6:00 (5:00 assembly at Trinity Bellwoods, heading east) BRING YOUR: family, bike gang, best friend, band, costumes, banners, instruments, human powered floats, badminton rackets, dance party, clown troupe, cardboard, crayons, imagination, sense of humour, whatever you do best! DON'T BRING: a car! HOW TO HOST A PARKING METER PARTY: JUST IMAGINE: WHAT CAN YOU DO WITH A 6 X 12 FOOT PARKING SPACE? 1. Scout out a parking spot where you'd like to spend the afternoon 2. Park your non-motorized "vehicle" (i.e. your bike, trike, roller-skates, dinky-car) along Queen West 3. Pay the meter. For $1.50/hr the spot is yours! (be sure to display your parking receipt on the "dash" of your "vehicle"!) 4. Have fun showing Toronto how much fun carfreedom will be! dance! paint! play a game! read a book! make music! make people smile! It's fun! It's legal! Bring your fellow revolutionaries! The revolution will not be motorized! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boiler Posted September 21, 2007 Report Share Posted September 21, 2007 That's funny. Strike up a move or two for Sara and I. It would kind of defeat the purpose to drive 3 hours to get to a parking spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
