The Xbox 360 Banned Commercial - Take II

Posted by body on June 8, 2008 at 8:41pm in Montreal

On the 8th of June we had to cancell this mob since we were only 8 people attending.
So heres the second round.
(See below for details on the mob)

We agreed to reschedule on the 21st of June and to work hard so that we could all bring people along next time. After speaking with a few friends, by doing it in the evening I can bring at least 5 people and probably more.

In order to do this we had to relocate the event since the complex Desjardin will be closed.

So it'll be on St-Laurent during "TheMain Madness 2008" which will insure a huge public. For those of you who are unfammiliar with this event here's a short description :

"Every year since its establishment in 2000, the Société de développement du boulevard Saint-Laurent (SDBSL) continues to organize a huge open-air street fair between Sherbrooke and Mont-Royal. "

*********** The actual stage ***********

Now for those of you who still don't know what all this is about here's what will do (inspired by the banned Xbox commercial)

we will have a nice crowd watching us so talk around bring your friends and we'll have great fun

Launa will be creating an event on Facebook again, keep an eye open, advertise it a lot, make sure you will be there as well and we'll have a great event going

************************ EDIT ************************

Now the surprise. We contacted a group of amateur photographers who usually meets in different events to take picture and compare them. They agreed to participate in this event by using it as the subject of their picture. Come, help make this a big event and we'll all get some great souvenir. If they find it interesting enough it might not be the last time they come.

******************************************************

LOCATION OF THE STAGE WILL BE CORNER SAINT-LAURENT AND PRINCE-ARTHUR.

THE GATHERING PLACE IS CORNER PRINCE-ARTHUR AND COLONIAL IN FRONT OF THE CLOTHE STORE "Ballon Blanc" AT 19H00 !!

(See attach maps for details)

We will be waiting at the gathering point for late comers up to 19H15.

Bring some friends along we are 40 confirmed so far it'll be a great event. Photographers have confirm their presence as well.

Permalink Reply by Launa on June 17, 2008 at 8:11am: So I don't know if you guys checked the facebook link I posted below but so far there are 39 people who have confirmed on facebook that they are coming and about 70 people who may be attending.

Here the link again, if any of you want to check it out: Alright, so the event on facebook has just been created. I've also asked other improv groups to either make me an admin so that I can message all members or to let their members know themselves. I am awaiting their replies.

The facebook link is here:
