Here are the full details for our next mission, the Subway Dance Party 2.5. Please take the time to read all of the instructions on this page.

Please note: This is a participatory event. We encourage participants to leave their cameras at home and have fun participating.

Details:
When: Saturday, June 13th at 3:00 PM, Sharp! (Over by around 5:00)
Where: Meet at the giant horseman statue in the middle of Queens Park. To subway there, walk directly south from Museum Station.
Bring: A metropass/tokens and an Ipod or Mp3 Player
Wear: Normal summer clothes

Requirments For Participation:
1) Willing to dance on the subway
2) Pretend you don’t know what’s going on
3) Have fun

How it works:
We will assemble within Queens Park at the horseman statue at 3 PM. Please be on time. Feel free to be early.
After all participants have arrived we will be splitting everyone into groups. Each group will be getting on a separate subway.

Once ready, one group at a time will head to Museum Station. Do not talk to others once you enter the subway system. No one knows each other. You will then wait for a train to arrive going south and all board your assigned cars (follow your team leader). We may let one train go before entering to make sure everyone is ready.

Sit in the car as you normally would. Put your headphones in, and get your music ready. Your team leader will have chosen the first few dancers, as they begin dancing act as if you are a normal commuter. Would you just ignore them? Or stare in shock?

From this point, you can join in anywhere up until Union. We hope to stagger the number of people joining the dance though. So feel free to wait a bit before joining in, we want this to look gradual. We will need some to wait until Union before joining the dance (at this point the subway will be rocking).

If anyone asks you why you’re dancing, tell them that “you just felt like joining in” or “you are on your way to a dance tryout” (or something along those lines, be original!).

We will exit the train at Wellesley Station. Pay attention so you don’t miss this stop. Upon arriving we’ll completely stop dancing and walk off the train like nothing happened. We will then get onto the other side of the tracks, and repeat the mission back around the loop. If you’d like to meet up and talk about the mission, we’ll meet back up at Queens Park. As for dancing, please be considerate that other people are commuting. We’re trying to spice up their day, and give them something to laugh at, not annoy them.

This is going to fun and I’m really happy that you are taking part in it. You may bring along friends if you like, but make sure they get a chance to read all of these instructions.

See you on the13th!
