The first video from Saturday’s gun battle flash mob is up (from Sylvain Racicot). The whole thing lasts about five seconds. Insert obvious comparison to disappointing sex here.
UPDATE: Midnight Poutine has a report from the event, with still photos.
A group of local Improv-Everywhere-style scene-causers is planning a mock gun fight (Facebook link) on St. Laurent at Prince Arthur at 7pm on Saturday (exact location isn’t being divulged yet because of NARC-ism concerns meeting at Prince Arthur and Coloniale).
The event is purposefully taking place in the middle of the Main Madness street sale. I’m sure no problems will arise from people yelling “bang” and randomly falling down in the middle of a crowded street.
Either way, hopefully it’ll last longer than five seconds.
UPDATE: If you want to make a day of these activities, you can also go to a Capture the Flag game at 2pm at the statue in Mount Royal Park on Park Ave., as well as a Manhunt game at 5pm in Carré Saint-Louis.
Clear your calendars for April 26, 10:30pm. That’s when the next chapter of Montreal’s flash mob history takes place: A “silent disco” “silent dance party”, where people stand around listening to music on headphones and dancing to it.
When one person does that, it’s annoying and/or funny. When dozens do it, it’s a scene and/or pathetic.
Like the freeze in February, this one will take place around the big puck at the mezzanine level of Berri-UQAM metro.
Sadly I won’t be there because I’m working.
It’s a bit last-minute, but a snowball fight is being organized (Facebook link) at McGill at 7pm. They’re meeting just inside the Roddick Gates on Sherbrooke at the James McGill statue.
