What you need to bring:
  • Yourself
  • An MP3 Player or anything that is capable of playing MP3's (like a cellphone)
  • The MP3 File Found Here or Here
What are we doing?
  • Everyone will meet up at the 1st staging area between 11:40 and 11:59
  • At NOON we will all start the MP3 and walk towards the mall
  • Around 12:15 (the mp3 will let you know when) you will stop/freeze in place
  • About 3 minuets later you will continue on doing what ever you where doing
  • Then head over to the 2nd Staging area
The Rules:
  1. When you are told to FREEZE! FREEZE!
  2. While frozen do not move at all! even if someone talks to you.
  3. While frozen do NOT talk to anyone.
  4. There will be a count down, use that time to move to a safe location that does not block or impede the foot traffic
  5. Do NOT enter any stores, this will be done outside only.
Things you can do to be funny: When the Count down starts
  • Tie your shoe
  • While looking at a store window - Point at window
  • Give someone else that is freezing a hug (keep it clean)
  • and plenty other things also
NOTE: Attempting to balance on one leg is not suggested, If you fall or move it ruins the effect.

On a side note: We understand the family outings are great, but you need to keep in mind if you have a child that needs care, like an infant to toddler, please do not bring that child. It could and would be considered bad parenting to remain frozen while you child cries, screams, or runs off. Once again moving will ruin the effect.

On that same note, if you have a child who can't stay still please do not bring them either. My son is ADHD, and will not be coming.

After all that the goal here is to come out meet and greet, have some fun and attract a little attention.
