LOWTECK:



What a day that was! I set up a remote control sound board for easy installation:



We waited for people to sit and wait for the bus. Then we mobbed them and made them dance.

Highlights (watch the video):
- Some mysterious man with a big drill came by and completely destroyed the parking meters on both sides of two blocks.
- So many wonderful strangers dancing with us
- I pretended to fight with Orion in order to force people around us into the bus stop.
- While using the remote control from across the street, I managed to convince a group of teenagers that the setup was controlled by a motion detector.
- Rubin can dance!!






ANNA ONE (with links and comments from Shâlaco):

It was the day of Rubin. The zombies had already terrorized Union Square. A missive had notified a select group to amass at the corner of Haight and Fillmore. I arrived too early- first(1st). Soon a cluster of recognizable faces collected. Around the corner, Lowteck arrived bearing a mysterious device... within seconds it was installed inside the bus stop canopy. Poon for the Seafood installed the additional lighting. Remote in-hand, the collected conspirators meandered across the street to lay in wait. Soon the unsuspecting would be terrorized by our thumping beats and incredibly white dancing (I speak for myself.)

Libations purchased, and duly downed, more of the walking dead arrived, freshly reanimated. A group of taggers inhabited our bus stop and proceeded to be totally unmoved by the mysterious flashing lights and noise. One attempted to discover the source of the sound, but was averted. Soon, we were able to confuse a few of the crowd pouring out of a near-by party. Many were reluctant to join our flash mob, but soon we found a willing victim. A couple standing nearby were totally confused by the bus stop, and looking around, astutely figured that the now large group of people running back and forth across the street to dance were obviously in control of the noise making. They made their way around to those of us with the video cameras and the woman asked many questions. We encouraged them both to join the game. From there, things only got more riotous.

The original Rubin arrived, and with his presence there was much dancing and rejoicing. Limousines full of satiny women came and went, Koyâh (as he was then known) drank and forgot why Rubin zip-tied his shoes together(no no… I am pretty sure I remember I am just kind of ashamed and don't want to repeat myself here), a madman with a drill destroyed parking meters, p00n sat in some gum (Huzzah! I saw them!) and the dispersing crowd from the party next door joined us in our revelry. An awesome time was had by all.
