Amazing Paleo- Art/Costume Party Friday the 4th in NYC
CodySteed
We are a costume art and participatory theater collective that is
creating an absurdist vision of the paleolithic era this coming
Friday. We host infamous underground arts events, do a big float in
the NYC halloween parade and host a fashion camp at the burning man
arts festival and regularly reach out to diverse communities to find
new interest. With a surprising number of brainiac geeks as well as
sexy hipsters, ours is a unique arts collective with a broad age range
where everyone is young at heart... The below event was inspired by
the recent NYT article on those living "paleo lifestyles" and we would
like to invite anyone over 21 with a sense of humor in your extended
circles...
Read on or please forward?

to wear horns of any type whether you want to play along with this
year's sub-theme or not. Springtime arrives and the animals come out
of hibernation!

painting, drag your mate by the hair races, bison tartar, pin the tail
on the mastodon and anything else YOU might want to create... Dance
by the fire and bear yourself to the fertility goddess!
INSPIRATION: This year's subtheme was inspired by an article in the NY
Times entitled "The New Age Caveman in the City" about modern people
living "paleolithic lifestyles". Grunt.
