Right now it's just a list and some promises, but I have a dream. When this site is up and running, it will house descriptions of the world's greatest parties organized by date and place. Anyone with a modem and half a clue will be able to tell the machine where and when they're travelling, and out will pop the local festivals. All over the world there are annual events that get stumbled upon by wayward travellers, and this site will make the most of limited stumbling time.

But I need your help...

I'm sure you know of a good party in your city/town/streetcorner or even one somewhere else. Please use the form on this page to send me the date (approximate if necessary), place and details and you too could be a charter member of this soon-to-be-hip site.

I'm looking for all sorts of things, but mostly little-known big-parties. Things like the Queen's Birthday in Amsterdam, Eeyor's birthday in Austin Texas, or even the Crawdad fest in Isleton California.
I'd also like to have info on well known parties in specifically cool places. Like Halloween in San Francisco, Carnival in Recife Brazil, July 4 in Washington DC, New Years in New York etc.
Once I get some data (and learn C++, Java and Sanskrit) I'll update this silly page and put up a search engine and form for new entries. Tell your family, tell your friends, then watch this space.
