In the summer of 2004, when a hallucinogenic tea is served during a monthly meeting at the Sloburg Senior Centre, members get into a party mood. Deciding they need some excitement and a new meeting hall, they come up with a nutso plan to take over the town hall in neighbouring Port Promise. They're convinced their ballsy move will upgrade their digs and not coincidentally, end the debate about which town is better. But it's a no-brainer that the hard-partying people of Promise will defend their beloved building. And so, immediately, a line of defensive beer tents is installed in front of town ...
In the summer of 2004, when a hallucinogenic tea is served during a monthly meeting at the Sloburg Senior Centre, members get into a party mood. Deciding they need some excitement and a new meeting hall, they come up with a nutso plan to take over the town hall in neighbouring Port Promise. They're convinced their ballsy move will upgrade their digs and not coincidentally, end the debate about which town is better. But it's a no-brainer that the hard-partying people of Promise will defend their beloved building. And so, immediately, a line of defensive beer tents is installed in front of town hall and the area is declared a licensed patio. Keeping it weird in Port Promise is de rigueur, so it is not long after the arrival of the invading Sloburg caravan that the two sides get down and funny. During an evening of competitive performances that includes, dancing, singing, trees on fire and a monster tractor/muscle car showdown, the gloves come off when Port Promise MC JB melts down, and the night turns into a battle-rapping, operatic trash-talking show between the invading seniors of Sloburg and the hard partying people of Port Promise. Ride along with small-town gonzo photojournalist Layton Plymouth and his freedom-loving sidekick TuTu as they cover this story of a lifetime when the two towns that love to hate each other show their party moves. Experience the passion when the stylish Francesca Dulce from Sloburg, a big city import with a shady past, and Hee Haw McGibbon, a local blue collar dreamboat from Port Promise, become the ambassadors of love as they lead this story to its stunning climax. For over 20 years, photojournalist Ted Amsden covered the events in two neighbouring towns. A resident and Poet Laureate in one, he celebrated equally in the other, believing the two communities were part of the same family. But as is often the case with competitive siblings, he found their charms and quirks worthy of much laughter, which is why he wrote this humorous tale of quixotic conquest.
