Hi Code for DC-ers!

The email below has all the info about ROBOTDISCO at the Funk Parade, which we've been involved with in the past. It's coming up on Sat, May 7th, in about 3 weeks. Also, there's a fundraiser for it tomorrow night in Adams Morgan.

See you all Monday night at the next CfDC meetup!

Hi friends! You're getting this email because, at some point in the last few years, you've joined The Curious Citizens Project in making community art & magic in DC. Together, we've built cardboard dinosaurs and graffiti walls, crafted junk-tastic bike parades and pop-up embassies, raced down alleyways dressed like Indiana Jones and cleaned our neighborhood streets while dancing to funky beats.

This year, we've got some more spectacular mischief in store -- and we'd love to work with you to make it happen. Here's the lowdown:


On May 7th, we're bringing back DC's (only?) dancing robot army, ROBOTDISCO, to the Funk Parade. ROBOTDISCO is an open-to-all parade krewe from The Future. Although many of our activities (including robot-building, spaceship production, getting down, and talking to aliens) are done day-of during the Funk street festival, this year, we have a few opportunities BEFORE Funk that we want to put on your radar.
  • TOMORROW🌠, April 13th from 7 to 10PM: ROBOT TAKEOVER @ Songbyrd Music House. Please join us for a surreal and magical fundraiser, including an experience raffle, funky drink specials, cardboard spaceships, and *surprises*. $10 at the door helps us cover expenses for artists to participate in Funk. Even if you can only pitstop by, your presence and small donation will help make some incredible public art possible this spring. RSVP and more info here.
  • SECRET DATE: Help land a spaceship in DC! It wouldn't be a good secret if we told you too much in advance...To get in the know about this surprise happening, sign up here: http://goo.gl/forms/FRvcG5FL88

Feel free to keep these deets to yourself orrrrrr forward 'em on to other friends and collaborators who might want to play.

Thanks for all that you've done and all that you do to make our city shimmer. Hope to see you tomorrow night!

<3,
Laurenellen & The CCP
