Want to participate in First Night's NYE Celebration?
Want to be nice and warm in furryness while everyone else is freezing?
Want to bang on drums and dance down congress?

Well, have we got an opportunity for you!

The Caveman Collective is searching for fellow bro-magnons and sheanderthals to make a fun, theatrical statement about the evolution from Petroleum to electric powered vehicles.

The short version:
We need:
2-3 puppeteers (think chinese dragon-style)
min. 5 cave people
4 riders
10 drummers

The long version:
Imagine a pack of happy cavepeoples drumming and dancing away while walking down
congress, when suddenly up from behind comes an angry, mean and ugly
truckceratops, fresh from the pre-historic petroleum age. It menaces
and threatens the poor innocent cavepeoples, who scatter about in
fear, and then with sounding trumpets and a speeded 5-mph rush attack
come up our heroes on their fabulous electric trikes, shooting nerf
guns and stabbing foam-tipped spears into the surly beasty from the
oil age, killing it and moving along to lead the cave people back
towards their happy drumming march down congress.

The key here is theatrics, and having some way to animate the
truckeratops. We're thinking more like the chinese dragon dancers, with the
one person up front animating the head, and one or 2 or more persons
animating the legs, body and tail. I could see this happening with as
little as 2 persons.

You'll be invited to exclusive costume-making parties. We'll bribe you with food and booze!
You'll be in a parade!
AND you'll still have time afterwards to make it out to that raging party before midnight!
How can you lose?
