a ride to the best dance floor on the Bay.

A love letter. And a small SOS.

Dear friends
and party people,

Since 2019, Reo (and now Julia) have been bringing us phenomenal floating fiestas: amazing people, amazing music, amazing sound. Free, and blissfully unbothered by the fun police.

But the future of these shindigs rests on one very small, very tired vessel.

The trusty dinghy carrying party guests across the Bay, with a sad face added in the original photo
The little dinghy that could. Until it really, really couldn't.

Yes. That dinghy.

The hard-working shuttle that picks you and your cosmic friends up from Clipper Cove and delivers you from the default world to the wonderland of the First Sight party deck.

After close to 1,000 party shuttles, it's running out of life. The engine is failing. The starter is shot. The gearbox jams. The tubes leak air.

“The engine has to be started by shorting it out with a wrench. Lol.”From the campaign's extremely scientific condition report
Show me the state of this thing The original annotated dinghy photo points out leaking tubes, a dead starter solenoid, high idle speed, jamming gearbox, and battery leakage

Let's get him a new one.

Reo has put years of time, love, and money into keeping our floating party palace going. This is our chance to give a little of that love back.

The goal is $10,000. Boats aren't cheap. But spread over the thousands of rides and all those very good nights? It's a pretty great deal.

Here's to a lot more “where's the pickup?”
With love, the party people.
