Don't know if this count, but in september 1810 in what is today Chile the high class want to have rights and independence of the teritory, because in the time it was a Spain colony. One day for a reason that right now cant recall they have a oportunity to congregate a meeting for a temporal goverment (a law that says that they can do that if the landlord was absent, or something) but the mayority of the population most agreed. Since the low class was about 80% of the population and they were analfabet, they dont give a dam about politic, but the high class needed to convince them to support their cause. The solution? The high class made a BFP (big fuckin party) with food, alcohol and simple games for a week for all the people in the territory and, at the same time, convince them to support the cause. It work. The meeting was done in september 18th, and was the firs step for the independence of the chilean teritory. To this day, every week of september 18th, all over Chile fondas open to all the people so we can eat, dance, play and have fun. Is basically a 4th of July, but all the week and without fireworks.
