HAPPY BIRTHDAY! SUBWAY PARTY
TUESDAY MARCH 28 2006
FINCH STATION // 11:10 PM

DR. SEUSS THEME!
past parties: ridetherocket | ridethereindeer | faerietale


The Poem
Little Lori-Lou Who who was not more than 2(enty)
Is having a birthday
and the fun will be plenty!
Bring her a present that's fuzzy and pink
She also likes stars and cats, what do you think?

52 years and another four stops
The subway extension will surely be tops!
Oh, the places you'll go! And the places you've been
Happy birthday, dear subway, let the party begin!

Come join newmindspace in our big celebration
Meet at the last car, at the tippy-top station!
Bring bubbles, and “bicycles! Roller skates! Drums!
Checkerboards! Tricycles! Cameras! And plums!”

The nicest of things is when you get involved
And we’ll see at the end how our party’s evolved!
So wear your Seuss costumes and bring your Seuss props
And make Seuss decorations with tubers and zots!

Every Who down in Whoville and foxes in socks
The Grinch stealing Christmas and fun in a box!
Sneetches, the Lorax, Thing One and Thing Two
The Cat in the Hat, the red fish and the blue!

Respect all the folks at the ol' TTC
Keep the train clean and alcohol-free
Clean up the subway, please don't make a mess
And that emergency alarm, don't give it a press!

“If you never did, you should!
These things are fun and fun is good.”
Come have a great time and open your mind
Come have more fun than the whole world combined! top

The Fine Print

You may join the party at any station along the Yonge-University line, just wait by the last car. Please respect transit workers and keep the train clean. Smoke- and alcohol-free please. This event is free and appropriate for all ages. top

What to Bring

Bring decorations, costumes and props! Cameras make great memories for all of us! Food and soft drinks that aren't messy are a plus. We are celebrating two birthdays, so a small present might be in order ;-) top

Decoration Ideas

Dr. Seuss books are filled with magical machines, pastel hues, arches and curvy lines. Pool noodles (Canadian Tire for $2), long tubes (Canadian Tire), striped objects of any kind, furry things of any kind (Fabric stores), helium balloons (party stores) and Seuss books (library) are great! Anything that says "Happy Birthday" would be awesome too! top

Costume Suggestions

Striped hats are sold at It's My Party (423 Danforth Ave., Chester subway station)

Seuss characters are often furry! You can be the Cat in the Hat, the Lorax, Thing 1 or Thing 2, Yertle the Turtle, a star-bellied sneetch (or one without!), some kind of fish. Check out a list of Dr. Seuss books, or Google "Dr. Seuss" and check out the images.

Cindy-Lou Who and the Fox in Socks are already taken :) top

Music

Music will be provided by our soundsystem, newsoundspace, which is a battery cell, a subwoofer, two speakers and an iPod. We will be playing whatever Lori wants to hear :) top

Is it just me, or does it seem pretty damn greedy to ask attendees to bring a gift.

I still dont believe that happened. I got on at finch and got off at bloor cause i had to meet somebody.

But I tip my stripped hat to the organizers (The same striped red hat that kid took off my head and walked away with and then passed it around -from what i see in the pics)

My ass is sure to come to other events.

To Lori Lou Who and Kevin HaHa!
Two of the best sneetches on beaches! With toobers and zots and Grinchs and Lorax! They created a bash and a bish and a frolic! Only Who of WhoVille knows what the next plish is! But sure as sure's shooting, if it's Lori's and Kevin's, be it inside or outside or somewhere between,
It's fun for all fishes and Thing ones's and two's, and cats and hats and foxes and boxes! So bring on your costumes and music and props, 'cause you don't want to miss it, it's bound to be tops!!!

Love to you both and Happy Birthday!

Great party, despite the little problems. Ari is right, the worst thing to do when the cops show up is run away (esp. if you've done nothing wrong). This "running away" can be seen in a lot of the photographer Flickr pages. I want to see more pictures from people who continued snapping until the end. :D

this was rather sweet
it was handled less than completely deftly by the driver of the middle car of the first train- and this trickled down poorly to the supervisor (who seemed mostly reasonable but like he was stuck in a poor discision) and one of the cops (who showed up with leather cops in full on bad cop mode)-

it's funny these people show up thinking they know how to deal with these situations- but often you get people with no experience of this type of situation- who treat it like something that has never happened before, see it as something bad, and see it as something that a. they can stop, and b. it is to the advantage of the requirements of their employement that they try to stop it

these are based on faulty assumptions

aaaaaaaaaanyway it was way fun , and I thought that the solution of just getting on the next train was smooth and inspired (the lesson- whatever you do-when you are not doing someting wrong the worst thing to do when "cops" show up is to leave)

the other drivers caused us no problems, so we caused them no problems- and we cleaned up rather perfectly (as opposed to the car we were rushed out of)

the bad cop- whose number is available upon request- suggested we complaint to Howard Moscoe - he might be a good person to have letter of endorsement from!!

it's weird some people don't get it

nothing celebrates or raises peoples opinions of the TTC more than subway parties- and nothing gets more good press

people need to get some kind of memo to understand this sort of thing


anyway Much thanks to Lori and Kevin

and many happy rhyming returns to our girl Lori
