A couch burning party, are you kidding me?

My dad is going to a couch burning party tonight.  Have you heard of this before?  Yeah, me either.  Apparently this guy goes around collecting old couches off the side of the road that people have discarded and he sets them up around a bon fire.  He then invites a bunch of peole over and as people leave and a couch becomes empty, they burn it.  From what I hear, this party goes on all night.  Seriously.  Could this be more redneck?  Probably actually.
