Come dance with us onboard a World War II wooden Navy boat.
DJs Filastine (Seattle), Dirty Fingers (Black Label), and Aliqua
(Chicken Hut) spin booty bass, disco, and fucked up global hip hop.
The Quivering Mass (Tianna Kennedy, Zeke Healey, and Hannah Marcus)
belt out rare Alan Lomax sea shanties for land lubbers, and
Marygoround (New Orleans) lights up eye-popping flaming hula hoops.
Finish off a day's drinking with cheap cocktails slung by the Miss
Rockaway Armada crew, answering questions about the most ambitious
project of the summer: piloting junk rafts down the Mississippi
River. Raffle ticket packages available for the skeptics.
Sunburns and tattered Mermaid Parade costumes welcome.

This website is an archive of the Miss Rockaway project. In the summers of 2006 and 2007 we floated from Minneapolis to St. Louis. This site (in part) documents our process and journey.
