Plotting for the good of humanity

There needs to be a foam party this year at Intercon.

I have no idea how to make this happen.

Maybe I'm wrong about this . . . but I don't think there'd be a good space for it.

Maybe not, but my f-list is resourceful. =)

Thirded: A what?

I'm disappointed in how many people on your friend list don't know what this is...

(I do know what a foam party is, although i've never been to one...)

Like a dance party in a huge bubble bath without the water. =D

See my reply above.

They're all kinds of awesome. Most of the ones I've been to involved gay men.

Here are a few pix of some show's http://www.thefoamguy.net/pics.htm Click on the pic!
I have others that are better, let me know if you'd like me to send you some.

Yes... but. As designated expert on what the hotel will allow, I think they'd be pretty seriously against it. Even if the dance space could be completely sealed off so the carpets and floor are safe, drainage is a big concern - my bet is that, as with their prohibition against smoke machines, they've got a blanket policy which covers that.

On the other hand, I think it'd be kind of awesome, and Tim has a certain fondness for crazy ideas... if the weather were nice enough, we could actually consider doing one outside.

Is it possible to do the foam outside?

[learnedax.livejournal.com]

Well, these guys (http://www.mit.edu/people/ara/howto.html) seem to think so. Of course, other sites I've just glanced at say household soaps are generally avoided for health reasons, but I don't really see anything about how the foam is made that would prevent it working outside.

Doing it in March may mean forgoing the traditional swimwear, though.

Is this a large event or just a few people? I do foam.
