Come out and Play Festival-NYC, June 12-14?

[Joie de Vivre]

Are any TSDOers going to the Come out and Play Festival in NYC in a few weekends? I'll be there, and it'd be awesome to maybe get a few joint dance-offs in... If you're vaguely in the NYC area, you should definitely consider going. (even if you don't want to meet up.)
http://www.comeoutandplay.org I've never been but it sounds awesome and I'm really excited. Street games! All sorts of craziness! Anyway, it'd be fun to have a little TSDO contingent.

You know I'll be there!

Great idea Joie de Vivre,

I am certainly in for meeting up! There is a great sounding dance game, that TSDOers should go to.

And because of DQ3, we'll probably be the most well-trained crosswalk dancers there!

Awesome! I look forward to meeting other TSDOers--and good point, Chip. We'll rock the game. I was just eyeing some crosswalks on my way home today...

I can't believe there is a crosswalk dancing game! If ever there were an opportunity for TSDO-ers to kick ass, clearly this is the opportunity. ^_^

If we play in our disguises, I bet it will be an advantage in convincing pedestrians to dance with us. Costumes give people permission to act differently, even if THEY'RE not wearing the costumes... the fact that we have masks and disguises is a clear signal that we're playing and it's safe to dance with us.

Also, I'm running a game at COAP -- CryptoZoo -- which involves moving in strange ways as well... cryptozoo.heart.org .

It might be fun to meet up after the COAP’s award show on Sunday night and perform a live DQ. Since the city just closed down traffic at Times Square, I thought, it would be an awesome place to do group DQ3 (The Dance-Walk).

6:00pm would give everyone time to get there.
I’ll bring a camera, if you bring your disguises, and your killer moves.

We could all dance to the same song. Any ideas? Would “New York, New York” be to contrived? ;)

Let me know, if anyone is interested? We can pick a specific location.

[Joie de Vivre]

Scibbles, a joint DQ would be very fun! I haven't done my DQ3 yet, so I'm especially interested in that. ^__^

As for the Groove Mooves game, it starts at 8pm on saturday, and I will be there, with disguise in hand and ready to dance. If anyone else is going to play that game (and I think a TSDO team would ROCK!) let me know. We could pick a meeting point and time a bit before the game starts. I'm looking forward to meeting fellow top-secret dancers this weekend!

I totally forgot to mention that I'm volunteering for the festival--and you can too! If any of you who are going are interested in volunteering, drop me a PM here or sign-up via the festival website. It's a great way to meet more people.
