You are invited to the next Last Night Un-planning Meeting. This coming Monday.

Monday December 5th
6pm to 8pm
Lulu Carpenters

This is a meetup to get to know each other, to laugh some, to brag about what we've already done, to boast about what we're just about to do, to figure out who else we're gonna rope into this crazy scheme, and to plan what we're creating together this New Year's Eve. (The parade, by the way, will be starting at around 5pm, so it will leave you the rest of the evening to play.)

Our biggest challenge is outreach. People already know about it all over town (and beyond), but it would be swell to see a mess of diverse groups excited about it and preparing to make this celebration theirs.

This time we didn't put the meetup smack on a Saturday night, but on a Monday evening when you didn't have anything else planned. We did this just for you, so you could come and join us.

If you came to a previous meeting, call up a couple friends right now and tell them they are coming to help plan their New Year's Eve fun. If you haven't come to a meeting, but are kinda sitting back waiting to see what develops, ahem. Time you came down to see what up.

See you there.

Love and Celebration,

Rico

WHAT IS THIS?

Last Night Santa Cruz is a New Year's Eve parade of freaks, clowns, gamelan, politics, fire, samba drums, punks, pirates, art, bikes, hippies, art cars, zombies, marching bands, moms, dads, kids, and music. And afterward, a rollicking drum-dance party -- an all-live Brazilian, Indonesian, mariachi, funk, trash orchestra hoedown at a surprise location.

It’s a do-it-yourself parade and celebration. That means we make it happen together. No city-sponsorship. No corporate donors. We reclaim our streets and usher in the new year with our own celebration.

Who’s Going To Be a Part of It? So far, folks who’ve said they want to take part in Last Night include the Santa Cruz Trash Orchestra, fire dancers, Santa Cruz Art & Revolution, Village Music Circles, stiltwalkers, the man in black, critical mass, The Opera Lady, and many more. And you, of course.

A Call to Action: This is our town, our celebration, our night. Let's do our own parade. A Last Night celebration. A last night of waiting for governments, institutions, or anyone else to entertain us, satisfy us, bring us security, freedom, or joy. The Last Night we wait and see. We reclaim our streets and usher in the new year with our own celebration.

This is your Last Night to celebrate, so take a chance on a crazy idea and join us. We’d love to see you at one of the un-planning meetings. Let’s take our lives into our own hands.
