Super soaker Flash Mob in Montreal
Montrealers are getting ready to get soaked in a quirky flash mob, set for tomorrow. I personally got a facebook invitation from The Vagrants of St-Lo, who are allegedly getting their plastic and rubber squirt guns out to spew friends and strangers with water.
“Once upon a time, God blessed us all with plastic and rubber,” reads the statement, “and one smart (wo)man with the ingenuity to put the two together and create a tool of annihilation, water destruction, targeted at young kids under the tagline of “fun”.” Some 1,200 people had been invited to attend the open event as of Sunday morning.
Flah mob’s are large gatherings of individuals, usually spread through social-media, and inciting unusual actions that take place for a very brief time period.
“SUPER SOAKER, the best invention to come out of 1990 is back with a vengeance,” concludes the invitation to merriment, “It’s time for some cooling summer fun.”
The event, the brain-child of creator Ilana Kelemen, takes place at the heals of the end of Osheaga, Montreal’s prime outdoor music event. Organizers advise participants to bring their choice of water weapons and to be at Mount Royal metro at 7pm sharp for a mob water fight!
Wait for the horn, we are advised, followed by the signal, “Poseidon LOOK AT ME NOW”
