We Cause Scenes
Massive Social Experiment This Sunday (10/25/09) :: Invitation
You are in a unique position to be at the forefront of the revolutionary continent-spanning happening.
Where? -- Los Angeles Union Station (810 N Alameda St. Los Angeles, CA 90012), in the Waiting Room (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Union-Station-LA-Waiting-Ro.jpg).
When? -- This Sunday, October 25, 2009. 12:45 PM Pacific.
What to do? -- Please arrive at Los Angeles Union Station no later than 12:45 PM. Enter the station casually and make your way to the Waiting Room (see attached photo). If you have arrived as part of a group, you are not to act as though you know one another. If you encounter other people you recognize, do not act like you know them. Take an open seat, read, listen to music, or strike up conversation in twos and threes. Dress however you normally would. Keep close track of your watch, and make sure that it has been set accurately. At exactly 1:00 PM, stop whatever you are doing and stand up. Immediately begin repeating the word “anakaretor” in moderately loud voice. If, before 1:00 PM, someone else in the station begins saying “anakaretor,” you must immediately stand up and join them. Repeat the word exactly 30 times, with 1 second pauses in between. Try to keep in time with those around you.
How is “anakaretor” pronounced? -- Anakaretor is pronounced (on a car ETT or), or (änä•kä•RET•or).
Then what? -- After you have repeated the word “anakaretor” exactly 30 times, go back about your business as though nothing had happened, and eventually make your way slowly and casually out of the station. Across the street from the station, at the corner of N Los Angeles Street and N Alameda Street, you will find near the corner a sign labeled “El Pueblo de Los Angeles Historical Monument. This is the corner you want. You will proceed up the steps at this corner and find yourself in an roughly circular garden. In the garden, the meaning and purpose of this happening will be begin to be made clear to you, especially if you are very observant.
How long will this take? -- The whole happening, from arriving at Union Station to leaving the garden across the street should not be more than half an hour of your time.
How should questions be answered? -- If passersby, journalists or security personnel ask you about this happening, you must only identify yourself by name and explain that you are participating in a social experiment. This happening is, of course, fully in compliance with pertinent law and ordinances, but in the event that uniformed security personnel should give you any directions, you should comply fully.
What’s in it for me? -- You have a rare opportunity to be a part of a revolutionary, continent-spanning happening, and you’ll have a very interesting story to tell for the rest of your life.
How do I sign up? -- Simply reply to bvigenere@gmail.com with your name and gender. You are welcome to bring along several friends to have them participate in the happening. However, please be sure to have them RSVP to the email listed as well. We look forward to seeing you at Union Station!
Sincerely yours,
The Organizers
