The Guerrillegatta - Primer
On a particular weekend day in the late Spring or Summer an unsanctioned, rogue boat "race" is held by self-selected participants using the rental rowboats on Central Park Lake.
While there is an objective, some rules, a course, and participants do compete in contests of rowing prowess, the "race" is mostly symbolic, lasting only around 20 minutes and is neither officiated, nor considered particularly seriously. The majority of the event consists of the pageantry of the competing teams and the collective picnic and socializing that follows. After the "race" the boaters will lash the boats together into a flotilla of sorts and spend the rest of the afternoon enjoying the various food and drink they have brought with them and each other's company on the Lake.
Participants will self-organize into teams of 2 to 4. Each team is expected to have a
theme, and dress, accessorize, adorn their boat, and behave according to theme.
If a team can not be assembled, or a theme can not be instituted, it is recommended for those who wish to participate none-the-less to dress and act how they imagine one typically would to attend a regular or famous regatta. For example the Henley Regatta dress code, or derivative thereof.
It is preferred that participants bring food and drink that befits the occasion of a regatta, and to share with everyone. Coordinated Crowdsource Protocol is usually used to supply the comestibles.

Urskin & Friends In Concert
A friend occasionally moonlights as the drummer for his band Something Heavy...
... which occasionally lands a gig or two at a party or show...
... through the machinations of their frontman, who occasionally persuades his extended friendosphere to don costumes...
... and dance around on stage during their performance.
