Tom & Gary's Decentralized Dance Party
Wednesday, 7:30pm at Union Station
Week Two of Rhubarb kicks off with a bang as Tom & Gary’s Decentralized Dance Party takes over Toronto. Using a portable FM transmitter and almost a hundred boomboxes, Tom & Gary broadcast a free and democratic open-source dance party that will travel through the streets of Toronto before coming to Buddies where the party continues late into the night. So grab a boombox and join the party.
Check out Tom & Gary's website for other great videos, plus info on how to prep your boom box, and other useful tips.
The Decentralized Dance Party starts tomorrow at 7:30 at Union Station.
