Drop and Run by Strong Red Appl, Brandon Rice, applebiscuit, John Carlson, Kaflik Thunder

INSTRUCTIONS: Wrap a large strangely shaped object.

Carry it somewhere public.

Look suspicious.

When several people are watching, get freaked out, drop the package, and run.

So our group dropping a large oddly shaped object off at home depot. You should have seen how suspicious everyone was right from the start. Me and the other filmier even had a person follow us, but hey we can't blame him considering we have cameras, were hiding behind bushes, oh and not to mention we were trying to stay close to the door. When we walked in, at first nobody really noticed, but as you can see in the video, when she got closer to the paint center people started to walk away, and freaking out. I swear this one was the best yet, I'm glad that Jessica had the guts to carry the package(which had a porcelain rabbit, oatmeal, a bottle of water, empty of course, and a balloon in it)and the team definitely worked together to makes this one happen.

It would be more interesting to also hear or see any reactions from observers, and also more about your subjective experience doing this stunt. From the task specification about 'when several people are watching' and 'look suspicious' it seems that getting a reaction from observers is the point of doing the task. And almost always, how doing a task changes the way you experience the world, in a big or small way, is interesting.

I compliment your gutsiness in doing it, but need a more interesting praxis, as was described by rongo rongo, to vote.

The legality is questionable, but it can definitely get you arrested.

In light of the one year anniversary of the events in Boston that got 2 folks arrested for simply hanging lights around, care is necessary in doing this task.

Lots of guts for doing it in a store like Home Depot, and I think the amount of video you got was gutsy enough.

Right, remember the generic unwritten addenda to any task specifications are "don't get arrested" and "don't get hurt"! (Except just a little bit so you can do the time heals all wounds task)

Unfortunately "run in with the law" is retired, so no points for arrest.
Though SSI might un-retire it if you bring back good prison stories.
