ROCK CITY FOR OBAMA!!!!!
Dear DIRC Enthusiasts,
I have some ideas about ADIRC this year. First of all, I say we submit our float proposals on the DIRC website. My idea is "Green"....or "GO GEEN" and we can have solar panels and we can all be green etc. Just an idea...I was even thinking of sending a 100% biodegradable cup made of cellulose to the bar and see if they will serve their beer in it. I think this should be the theme of a day in rock city itself.
I think if we decide what the float theme will be before ADIRC we can all get our costumes and decorations beforehand and that way people (like Sarah and Ashlee) don't have to go out and spend a ton of money on Friday.
Looking forward to it this year!!
I hear there will be roller derby! -Anna
Even if we're not going the "tongue in cheek" route this year and taking on a more literal theme, we should still come up with a cheeky theme/slogan. Let's work on that. get your thinkin' caps on. Anna, I applaud your efforts to get a theme going early on so we don't have to scramble and we can all share the responsibility!

p.s. we could pass out reusable cups with our theme printed on them for people to use for beer at the street dance. i guess that could get $$. we would need a sponsor and that could get ugly.
My theme idae is actually go green not go geen. sorry. I like the Obama idea, but not everyone who participates in the float will be voting for obama and that might discourage them form participating in float fstivities which is always the best part....just a thought.
I need to spell check.
Dr. Pap says:
"Get in the ring and wrestle with the tiger."
That encompasses all the other themes that have been suggested.
or how about the title of the book sitting next to me still unread...
"Diffusion of Innovation"
Cheers,
Nellie
how about before we start thinking about themes for the next float we first establish what went wrong with last's year's HEAT IT UP campaign????
It was cold as hell this winter.
Obviously our campaign wasn't effective enough.
Well, DIRC will be just a month before the convention, so assuming no one drops out before that, how about Clinton and Obama mud-wrestling in the wading pool?
I would like a non-political float. I like the cellulose cups idea, but I don't look good in green. And I do agree with the problem of not everyone being in love with Obama. If it has to be political... I like the tongue in cheek satirical route we've been taking (It's much more offensive that way).
So if we want to do that again, maybe we first need to think: Who do we want to offend? The Christians, the loggers, the Republicans again and again and again? *And remember, abortion can be very offensive.
How about commemorating someone in history who wasn't that important at all?
Denni would probably be down for a theme along the lines of "beans and greens and greens."
Whenever I try to think of a theme, I want to think outside of reality. A surreal theme. Or something along the lines of "constructed reality."
Our plan Z can always be "the ghost of Christmas' ass."
I just realized...
What do we all have in common?
Answer- We're all DEVO
This year's theme: the De-evolution
As some of you may know I have been thinking about taking a yoga teacher training course. I would like to tkae the opportunity to practice being a teacher on you all to see if I like it. So, during a day in rock city weekend I am going to be offering yoga classes if you would like to take them. -Anna
1st of all..i'd like to sign up for the am yoga class. There happens to be excellent space in the inner block of Jefferson/Congress. 2nd....i think you should "Go Green" and pass out green papers a.k.a. money to those posted at 100 Jefferson! I'm so excited i think i just pee'd myself. Lastly..roller derby..fckn fantastic!
This is getting complicated. Just tell me which to pack: Salmon Sperm DNA dress, or Super Sexy dress or my new black/sparkly cocktail dress. I still like "A Celebration of Everything Corn."
Is the Roller Derby happening?
Right now I'm trying to get some people together to road trip it down for the day, but if that doesn't work out, I'm going to have to miss out on the best day of the year.
I really like the "green" idea, but not just environmentalist, conservationist green, but how about just green in general.
For example: cucumbers, frogs, aliens (though this is subjective, I guess), apples, olives, grapes, traffic lights, signs on the highway...
I also like the idea of someone historical figure who hasn't done anything really notable, or even someone like Andrew Johnson, who was Lincoln's vp, and was the only president to get impeached and conficted.
Cross your fingers for my friends wanting to drive 13 hours over the course of 3 days!
Roller Derby would be baller.

Looking at the DIRC pictures for me is like Ben and the christmas 98 video. I love it!
Anna
ha.
So, Evan mentioned to me Sarah's idea of a marching band.
Here's what evan and i could supply
2 acoustic guitars, 1 bazookee, 2 recorders, 1 snare, 1 acoustic bass, 1 toy piano, 1 melodin, 1 concertina, 2 pair crash cymbals really highhats, then drywall buckets for a drum line....
and tom long on his sax.
and denni has a couple clarinets.
every parade needs a marching band. we just need a song. are we not men?
-Jim
dang, jim!
I read that 3 weeks too late!
