very excited that last week, we pulled off our very first (successful) event of public disruption! it took place in the watterson dorm elevators on campus [if you are unfamiliar with illinois state's campus, that is the very tall dormitory that mostly freshmen and sophomores live in; i lived there my soph. year when i transferred to isu] and was called "iPOD iMPROV". we had three participants (jen, mike, and tom) who walked onto a particularly full elevator, ipod earphones already in their ears, listening to tunes. the plan was that would go into action after the first load of students got off and as soon as the elevator doors closed again, they would begin dancing to what they were listening to and proceed to get off one by one at the next available stop. jen was the first to get off of the elevator while mike ended up being the last (he danced the longest, probably close to three minutes! i was so surprised and happy!), and once they walked off were supposed to act as nothing happened and continue their "daily" routine and walk away.
as soon as the last dancer walked off the elevator, the one guy that was left on riding with me started laughing and was like, "ah, that was great! what's that for? a class or something?". so i explained what i was doing it for, what class, the project's name, to check it out on facebook myspace blogspot twitter etc, and he seemed super interested! which is always a plus! and said he would check it out! so slowly but surely things are beginning to matriculate through the campus; hopefully it will last awhile!
