DESCRIPTION:Santa Cruz, CA, December 15th, 2008:  In what is rapidly becoming a 
 homespun Santa Cruz New Year’s tradition, the Last Night DIY Parade and 
 Street Party will take over the streets on New Year’s for the forth 
 straight year.  This year the do-it-yourself, grassroots celebration 
 returns with hopes for a parade, street party, entertainment, and 
 performers to take over downtown for a whole evening of DIY adventure and 
 entertainment. \n\nIn your near future: a New Year’s eve crammed with 
 jugglers, clowns, samba drums, pirates, bikes, and marching bands.  The 
 usual city- and corporate-sponsored New Year’s eve event?  Hardly.  This 
 is Last Night Santa Cruz, a people’s parade and street party.  It is a 
 do-it-yourself celebration that goes beyond the now-defunct First Night 
 event. \n\nThree years ago, the Last Night DIY celebration erupted into the 
 national headlines when it was discovered that Santa Cruz Police had 
 illegally spied on community meetings for months and gathering information 
 about activist groups and other unrelated activities. \n\nThis year, the 
 celebration returns with an unabashedly defiant point-of-view. A manifesto 
 published on the Last Night DIY website states, "Last Night is a completely 
 organic event, organized and put on at a grassroots-level. No 
 city-sponsorship. No corporate donors.”\n\nThe Last Night website 
 (lastnightdiy.org) states, "“We are not asking for permits and 
 permission, nor are there any limits on participation. Our entire community 
 is invited to participate and celebrate together.”\n\nThis year on New 
 Year's Eve, the celebration will meet at 5pm near the Saturn Cafe parking 
 lot on Pacific Ave and Spruce Street.\n
