The New York April Fools' Committee Is Proud to Announce:
New York City's 25th Annual April Fools' Day Parade
The 25th Annual April Fools' Day Parade will begin at Fifth Avenue and 59th Street at noon, Thursday, April 1. Rain or shine, the parade will march down 5th Avenue to Washington Square Park for the post-parade festivities and selection of the King or Queen of Fools from the costumed marching look-alikes.
The theme for this year's parade is Up, Up and Away. Led by Grand Marshall Ben Bernanke, the parade will kick off with the Where's-the-Money Marching Band playing this year's theme song by the Fifth Dimension "Up, Up and Away in My Beautiful Balloon." Color commentary will be provided by Sarah Palin for her new Fox TV show "We Make It Up, You Believe It." Thanks to a contribution by a secret donor in honor of the parade's 25th anniversary, 10,000 red, white, and blue helium balloons, each with a crisp one-dollar bill attached, will be released along the parade route.
As the parade ends at Washington Square Park, the party begins, featuring live music, food, concessions, ans entertainment. There will be an Interracial Marriage Chapel officiated by Louisiana Judge Keith Bardwell; a Gay Marriage Counseling Booth manned by Miss California, Carrie Prejean; a Marriage Counseling Booth manned by South Carolina Governor Mark Sanford; and a David Carradine Enhanced Sexual Techniques Booth. The U.S. Secret Service will stand guard by a Meet-the-President Booth where President Obama will dispense "change pills" for change you can swallow.
The public is encouraged to participate, in or out of costume, with or without floats, and may join the procession at any point along the parade route. Floats can be no wider than 10-feet and no longer than 25-feet. They can be self-propelled, towed, pushed or pulled. Customized bicycles, tricycles, baby carriages and aerial balloons are welcome. All participants are costumed look-alikes, and the Parade Committee assumes no liability for damages caused by satire.
Parade starts: Fifth Avenue and 59th Street, Manhattan
Noon; $free

Creationizm, Believe in This! as seen in the Village Voice
It takes most people years to write a novel, at HiChristina we're going to do it tonight in 1 hour! HiChristina is hosting the Internationally Renowned Monthly Conference of Amateur and Professional Creators. At this inaugural party we're going to write an entire novel! After coming up with the basic story and making the general stylistic choices by consensus, we will sit in a long line and each person will write five pages of the story, simultaneously. The person at the beginning of the line pens the beginning of the story and the person next to them writes what comes next, and so on down the line. Conference with each other to coordinate epic scenes and to keep details consistent. All the writing begins at once and the novel will be finished in about the time it takes to write five pages. Afterwards there will be an intermission while the two editors pull everything together. Then we gather again and hear a dramatic rendition and summary of the complete story. Wooo! Ah the feeling of accomplishment! The actual physical novel will be available at our biannual Creationizm party.
Future parties will focus respectively on:
__ cartoonists (draw a full comic book in 1 hour),
__ multimedia artists (a 3 channel presentation in 1 hour) ,
__ screenplay writers (a blockbuster or indie snag thrill in one hour),
__ clay-sculptors (better than Brancusi in 1 hour),
__ dancers (a full modern dance piece of epic proportions in 1 hour),
__ clothing designers (a whole new collection in 1 hour)
__ painters (a ginormous painting in 1 hour).
RSVP to fritzandchristina@gmail.com
$20 includes your own digital copy of the great work.
