The promotional poster for the upcoming Bohemian Dub Ball looks like a Norman Rockwell picture that went through the wash with a Ziploc bag full of hallucinogens. Featuring a scrawny white boy with a backpack full of paint cans, a na-na-na-na boo-boo tongue sticking out of his mouth and a pair of untied orange shoes, this poster acts as an appropriate sign signaling what lies ahead at the ball: boundless artistic expression with a hefty side of whimsy and fun.

On Saturday, May 10, the Hult Center will trade in its usual crowd of conserved white-haired socialites for a colorful flock of dancers, ravers and shakers. Musicians RJD2, Medium Troy, Devin the Dude and Eskmo will perform with the Bohemian Dub Orchestra while visual artists Lights at Play and Ants on a Mellon provide the optical flare.

Born in Eugene but raised in Ohio, RJD2 is no stranger to subtle success. His 2002 single “Ghostwriter” is so instantly catchy you can feel confident playing it in a car full of strangers. And the instrumental version of his 2006 track “A Beautiful Mine” is the theme to Don Draper’s opening credits.

If you were in attendance at the Kaleidoscope Music Festival last summer, you might have noticed the giant, colorful jellyfish waving around the crowd. This visual delight is courtesy of the Springfield fiber optics company Ants on a Melon who have begun to expand throughout this past year. Along with fellow visual artists Lights at Play, Ants on a Melon will catch eyes and commandeer gazes all night.

The theme for the event is “Future Classic” meaning dress to impress either the past or the future. Tickets are $15 for UO students, $20 for the first 500 public tickets and $25 for the remainder. Doors open at 7 p.m. and showtime is at 7:30 p.m.
