Deep below the streets of Toronto on Planet Earth, subterranean bliss erupts before your eyes. You step onto a subway car, hear three chimes and suddenly you are riding the rocket. Ads are replaced with art, aliens blow bubbles, astronauts dance and robots sing. On Tuesday, August 16th, you earthlings are invited to join a subway party for a night of cosmic proportions. Bring: costumes, instruments, bubbles, cameras, decorations, space toys, glowsticks, moon boots or just a friend to the southbound track of Downsview station at 11:22 PM. Your destination: alpha centauri! You blast off with enough time to catch the last rocket back to Earth.

Ride the Rocket subway party
Downsview Station, Toronto
11:22pm. Meet at the end of the southbound track.

What's a subway party?

The fine print: You can join the party at any point on the Yonge-University-Spadina line (just wait by the last car at your station). This event is all ages and 100% free. There is no need to sign up, simply show up, but make sure to join our mailing list! Contact kevin or lori (at) newmindspace.com. Please respect our transit workers: leave the subway car clean so they will welcome us back. Check back nearer to the event in case the time is changed (to accommodate the last train). If for any reason you have not reached Finch by 1:10 AM, get off the train and go south again.

Please forward this to fun people and relevant blogs!

for more info, contact kevin or lori.

Hey guys, I've been hearing about your shenannigans on and off for a while now and would love to help out with the next one. I also have some portables that you might finduseful: - I'm a fully self contained, mixing laptop DJ. I've been playing for over 10 years and all sorts of genres (breaks/techno/house(if need be), drum'n'bass, downtempo, fun stuff, even Muppet music) I can get about 1.5 hours off the internal battery, and plug into anything (RCA, XLR, 1/8", 1/4"). No mixer needed. The setup was created with portability in mind - I have a Canadian Tire 400w Powerbox (heavy, but manageable in a backpack - 2x110v AC and 1x12v DC (car lighter style)) - A JVC Kaboom Boombox with 2 subwoofers on the side -- can run off 10 D batteries (best) or plug into the powerbox for about 5 hours play time. I got it with portable parties in mind. It has a shoulder strap and is pretty manuverable. Give drop me a line at 2005@mentalfloss.RemoveThisPart.ca

notice for the next subway party will be less than 24 hours. the best bet is to have the kind of lifestyle where you could party downtown at the drop of a hat :)
