FLASHDANCE 36: First FD of 2013 (05/04/13): Ferry Plaza

Our next FREE outdoor dance party will be: Saturday 5/4 from 8PM to 10PM at Ferry Plaza

 

Ahoy FlashDancers!:

The weather is LOVELY & it's been WAAAAY too long since we last got our shake-it-shake-it on together! SO: OUR FIRST FLASH DANCE OF THE SEASON - THIS SATURDAY!!!

And as usual, PLEASE send me an email if you think you can make it :-) I WORRY.

For Extra Credit:

GIVE ME MUSIC SUGGESTIONS: I love good suggestions/requests to keep the music fresh! HERE ARE THE RULES:

  1. I'm looking for things that I don't already play that GET A LOT OF PEOPLE HAPPY AND DANCING!
  2. Email me your ideas, links from the iTunes store, places I can download etc. NOTE: These need to be high quality song fiiles (so no 128Kbps MP3s - 160 at least! 192 preferred!.
  3. REMEMBER: WE ARE LOOKING FOR MUSIC THAT A LOT OF FOLKS WILL LIKE!
  4. REMEMBER, I WON'T GUARANTEE TO PLAY IT

FLICKR/YOUTUBE TAGS: If you take any pictures or video (PLEASE DO) and post them to Flickr/YouTube - please tag them with these two tags: FLASHDANCE and DEEPTROUBLE and please email me the link!

PLEASE SIGN UP TO GET SMS/TXT UPDATES ON YOUR PHONE: The best way to find out the latest status the night of the FlashDance is to get SMS messages from me. That way whatever happens you'll get a message on your phone. This has been a life saver already when we had to move FD on short notice - like when the po-po shuts us down!

The only free way I've found to do this is Twitter*. But you don't have to be "on Twitter" per se to get the advantages of FlashDance SMS Notification! All you have to do is below:

FOLLOW THESE 2 STEPS TO GET NOTIFICATIONS:

  1. Send the SMS/txt "follow deepfunstuff" to 40404 from your phone.
  2. Send the SMS/txt "on deepfunstuff" to 40404 from your phone.

That's it! Now you should get SMSs from me for FlashDances. If you ever want to stop getting them on your phone, just send "off deepfunstuff". That's it!

If you want more control & to do other cool stuff - go to: Twitter SMS Commands

NOTE: IF YOU HAVE ALREADY DONE THE "FOLLOW" but aren't getting the SMSes to your phone, you need to do step 2 above.

*And yes, if you are a Twitter-head: http://twitter.com/deepfunstuff

WHEN: 8-10pm

WHERE: Ferry Plaza - near the Ferry Building at Market & Embarcadero Map: http://tinyurl.com/klzzx

DIRECTIONS: Take any downtown headed MUNI - most of them come close, or take BART to the Embarcadero station. Once you are on Market - look for the Ferry Building (clock tower) and head towards it. We'll be in the plaza in the street in front of the Ferry Building.

DETAILS: FlashDance is a flash mob dance party.  Basically, we set a time and a place & show up.  I'll be there with Trikeasaurus, my mobile sound system & DJ up a storm.  You. Will. Boogie. There have been a BUNCH & they have all been BIG FUN so far & you can check out pix & write-ups at the website: http://www.flashdance.org

BRING: FRIENDS, STRANGERS, YOUR MOM, food, drinks, whatever you want! Tipping the DJ with cookies, dark chocolate, peanut butter M&M's (no Reese's pieces) or Henry Weinhards' ROOT beer always appreciated :-) IF YOU BRING ALCOHOL - PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU COVER IT - WE ALMOST GOT SHUT DOWN FOR THIS ONCE.
