Swedish Workers Break it Down on Their Lunch Breaks

We're hereby coining the genre "sandwich house."

And much like the parties themselves, the Lunch Beat organization hinges on the principals of freedom and community. Anyone can start a Lunch Beat so long as they adhere to the project’s manifesto, and Ränge has even equipped potential party planners with a 3 Steps 2 Start Up guide. But those looking to make a buck should go back to bottle service; staunchly non-profit, the relatively minimal door money LB collects for the event—usually between 6 and 10 Euros ($8-$13 USD) per person—goes right back into its production, covering the cost of venue rentals or provisions. For budget surpluses, Lunch Beat has recently launched the Branch Bank: a foundation used to store money earned through semi-commercial endeavors (like sponsored events) and distribute the funds to new start-up parties.

Since their first party in 2010, Lunch Beat has moved busy bodies in Sweden, Finland, Portugal, The Netherlands, Austria, Denmark, Germany, and the States (America's most notorious party cities: Los Angeles and…Vermont). Are your toes tapping yet?
