VIRTUAL CRUISE

SATURDAY, APRIL 10 – WEDNESDAY, APRIL 14

The JoCo Virtual Cruise 2021

 

National Corn on the Cob Day

Zoom Dance Partybration*!

*Technically, the full name of the event is “The JoCo Virtual Cruise 2021 National Corn on the Cob Day and National German Chocolate Cake Zoom Dance Partybration”, because June 11th is also National German Chocolate Cake Day. But we felt that was a little too excessive to list out. Nonetheless, please feel free to also celebrate German Chocolate Cake during this event.

The Zoom Dance Party was one of the biggest hits of the Virtual Cruise event, and we knew as soon as it was done that we’d want to do another one. And the US is celebrating National Corn on the Cob Day on June 11th, so we figured the two were an obvious, perfect match! (Rumors that we scheduled the event for June 11th and only afterward realized that it was National Corn of the Cob Day are scurrilous and untrue.)

So on Friday, June 11, 2021, from 10pm – 1am Eastern, please join us on the (virtual) dance floor while DJ Riz Rollins spins for three solid hours, and we celebrate corn on the cob in the appropriate manner—through dance!—by clicking the button below.

This dance party will be held via Zoom, so you’ll need to have that installed on your computer or device; feel free to turn your camera on if you’d like to be visible to other participants. No need to pre-register or anything; just show up and be ready to dance! And please remember that the JoCo Cruise Code of Conduct applies to all Virtual Cruise events (re: content, nudity, harassment, etc.).

A worldwide pandemic may have prevented the physical sailing of JoCo Cruise 2021 from happening, but the spirit of JoCo Cruise SHALL NOT BE DENIED OR CONTAINED. As such, we at The Home Office have uploaded our collective consciousness to the cloud, and JoCo Cruise is going to ride the ones and zeros as JoCo Virtual Cruise 2021.

Concerts, panels, gaming, Shadow Cruise (attendee-run) events, dance parties, a Fancy Pants Parade—all the things you love about JoCo Cruise, packed together and streamed over the Netterwebs for your socially-distanced convenience!

Official shows and events streaming every evening

Shadow Cruise events, gaming and meetups all day Saturday and Sunday

100% FREE for anyone and everyone to attend! (Well, you know…“attend”)

A worldwide pandemic may have prevented the physical sailing of JoCo Cruise 2021 from happening, but the spirit of JoCo Cruise SHALL NOT BE DENIED OR CONTAINED*. As such, we at The Home Office have uploaded our collective consciousness to the cloud**, and JoCo Cruise is going to ride the ones and zeros as JoCo Virtual Cruise 2021.

* except as otherwise provided by law and/or local custom
** it’s surprisingly cold in here, and our consciousnesses are now vulnerable to solar flare activity. But there’s free pizza and snickerdoodles, so all told it’s been well worth abandoning our corporeal forms.

What’s happening when? The full week’s schedule, including performer lineups, event descriptions and links to each event stream/session, can be found on Sched. You can create your own Sched account (for free!) to track all the events you don’t want to miss.

All Official Events will be livestreamed to this page as they happen via YouTube. Click through to watch them on YouTube if you want to join the live chat. Missed a livestream event? No worries! We’ll have them available for later watching until May 1st.

The official Discord server for all things JoCo Cruise will act as our main moderated community space during the event. It’s a free-to-join dedicated social space for both text and voice discussions that’s accessible via the Discord app or any web browser.

All participants in JoCo Virtual Cruise 2021 agree to abide by the JoCo Cruise Code of Conduct. If you are the victim of a Code of Conduct violation, please contact the event moderator, or email [email protected].
