We Cause Scenes

Newspaper Duel (UPDATED)

At Yerba Buena Gardens,
a bunch of agents will read the newspaper in pairs and when they see the signal- Beatnik with Bongos will start playing
the pairs will duel each other and after a minute or two (there will be a less conspicuous signal- A shout of "Hoorah" from me, in my paper hat) everyone will die in their pairs.
Then get up and leave (look very proper as you leave, as if u have done nothing strange)
and have everyone wondering wtf........
THIS EVENT WILL START AT 2
FROM 1PM-2PM - Hyperbole (thats me) and the other planners will be at the chess tables before the yerba buena - zeum bridge, we'll be playing with newspapers
2PM- Everyone gets into pairs and in a very non-suspicious way go down to the grass area at Yerba Buena Gardens
Approx. 2:05-2:10- the signal goes out (The bongo player starts playing)
2:05-2:10 until 2:15- 2:20- fights break out (this is a good time to use fight dialogue, "you insufferable cur", and "your father was a hampster")
Approx. 2:20- We die (at the signal "hoorah") and you can die quietly or you can make a big production of it
30 seconds later- count to 30 in your head and then get up and walk away
2:30- BEGONE!
THANK YOU FOR PARTICIPATING
- FROM HYPERBOLE AND HER TEAM OF CYBORG PLANNERS

Permalink Reply by Hyperbole on September 26, 2009 at 2:45pm: If you already have your duelling partner picked out.....
Try to think up some dialogue you will want to shout at each other, like:
Monty Python
Shakespeare (Romeo & Juliet or Hamlet or any other play)
Three Musketeers (especially good for those whith too many duelling partners)
Princess Bride
Harry Potter
Star Wars
and any western (just switch their guns for swords)
.... also i'm arranging for a beatnik (with bongos and goatee) to be our signal =P; ▶ Reply to This
