Another Mardi Gras float is coming up on March 3, 2012!
In 2009 we ran riot with brilliantly painted cardboard buses in the Sydney Queer Atheists Mardi Gras Bus Campaign;
In 2010 we nursed the world with Atheism: Cure for Discrimination;
In 2011 we came Out of the Atheist Closet!
In 2012 we're going to Fly Free from Religion, with a giant, pushable birdcage; open, of course!
We will have room for 40 people walking and two photographers. We're also looking for someone who doesn't want to come in the parade, but who has a ute or similar to bring our float to the city beforehand and take it away again after.
Our first face to face meeting will be on Sunday, February 5, 3pm at UTS. We'll be in the tower building - tell security you're there for the atheist meeting, walk down the big stairs, round to the left where there's a ramp. half way down the ramp is a little corridor, where you'll find us in room 318. There will be signs. Everyone is welcome! we'll be discussing the finer details of the float, signage, costuming, communications, entry fees, choreography and running a fundraising dinner and some working bees.
If you're interested in walking with us, helping out beforehand, or both, contact Kate at sydneyqueeratheists@gmail.com, join sqamg@googlegroups.com and/or find us on facebook at http://www.facebook.com/events/300112456695812/
