U.S. Victory Parade for Tweedledum or Tweedledummer: Sat 6th Nov, 2pm, Peace Gardens, Sheffield.

Whether it’s Tweedledum or Tweedledummer that ends up in the Oval Office, come and join the Victory Parade!

Hustings, celebration, politics, frolics, theatre: getcha self down to the Peace Gardens on the Saturday after our World Leader has been elected, and strut your funky autonomous stuff…

Nothing very much planned yet, except a ‘victory speech’… what else can you beautiful folk out there in Cyberspace think of?

There are a lot of things to make a noise about: the war still goes on, Israel still bulldozes Palestinian houses, the oil economy carries on driving us toward climate change, international trade is about as fair as a very unfair thing with a big stick…

… So this is just a little pre-emptive strike to get folks interested: if anyone wants to suggest meetin’ up to plan the day, let’s do it…

big love

The victory parade is definatly a good idea because it spells out the coca-cola/pesi-cola nature of modern day politics. However it would be a mistake to imply that either bush or kerry are stupid, it takes brains to rob millions of dollars from the texas government and private shareholders. The gung ho'/hill billy style that bush has adopted (and this is the style that kerry has been copying reently) the reason why this is adopted is because it wins votes. Ordinary people are drawn towards people that sound the same as them and do the same recreational activities. I bet the working class people of ohio were slightly alienated from kerry, afterall not many people from ohio go wind surfing, i bet far more go fishing.

I reccomend you read this:

Great idea, let's have a meeting before Nov 6th
I suggest a working day on the Moors, there is a loudspeaker's system operative right now at the entry door for a shop (selling clothes): this system might be suitable and we may enquiry about it, for the Victory Parade, since it fills up the street space.
A recording could be made in advance...

count with me if helpful at all and let's meet with street theatre people as well

Sounds good.

For the election night itself Sheffield Uni have got a late license for Bar One are showing it all on the big screen, if the result comes through in time perhaps a little late night street party to celebrate freedom and democracy. If the result is still not know after Bar one Chucks out perhaps a sound system to waiting to keep everyone motivated waiting outside would be an idea?


Similar topic, does anyone have a copy or know where i can get a copy off a CD given out at the Schenws @10 birthday party, called something like love peace fuck war. Had a lot of random shit like Bill Hicks and Black Eyed peas. Lost my copy would like another if anyone can help.
