Social experiment idea:
We’re currently looking for agents to be involved on this mission!
On Saturday, November 15th at 3:00 p.m. we will meet at the Streets of Tanasbourne in the parking lot outside of the P.F. Chang’s restaurant to organize and get prepared.
Here’s how this will go down: We will have one (1) person posing as a celebrity shopping throughout the Streets of Tanasbourne Mall. This person is pretending to be extremely famous, but of course they won’t actually resemble any real celebrity. To maximize the authenticity factor, we need a large number of people to play entourage (security) personnel. These people follow the celebrity (VIP) agent wherever she goes, and communicate publicly via radios, essentially to make bystanders notice that the so-called celebrity even has security detail. Every time the "VIP" exits the store, and travels down the street to another store, there will be placed "fans" that will run up to the VIP screaming with joy and asking for an autograph or for a picture. After an unspecified amount of time, the VIP enters a nice looking car and is driven away.
The purpose of this mission is to witness how awesome and the mob effect can be. It’ll be sweet to see what kinds of reactions we get from bystanders, like requests for pictures or autographs with our faux-celebrity.
As of now, we don’t have any specified agent to play the role of the celebrity, but we’ve decided that the celebrity must be a FEMALE, and she needs to be dressed in such a way that makes her stand out and that looks expensive.
In addition, we need to cover a few other important points. We’re going to need at least 60 people to participate in this and make it believable, and hopefully even more. The more people involved, the more impressive this event will be. Let’s go over the different roles needed, other than the VIP. There will need to be Male and Female Entourage Personnel. Guys, we’re going to need to wear black suits with matching suit pants. Think Matrix-esque. Girls involved in the security personnel will need to wear black business wear. Also, both the men and women in the security personnel group NEED to have DARK SUNGLASSES.
We will also be needing a logistics and equipment media team. So far we have three volunteers (Nick, Doug, and myself) and we’re in need of two more. If you have a professional video or photographic camera and would like to play this position, we’d love to have you. Please contact me if you can. (email is at bottom)
Next we need one head bodyguard, and six other backup bodyguards. If you’re a particularly muscular person and want to be in on this group, just dress the part (In a similar professional style like the entourage listed above) and we’ll see you the day of. Next we need a car door opener (think butler), and a red carpet roller. Contact Josh if you would like one of these truly important positions and dress the part as you deem appropriate. Look professional.
We also need a few people to be in charge of celebrity transportation. We need at least two sedans or SUV’s to pull this off, preferably black, could also be silver or white. If you have access to a vehicle like this and would be willing to use it for the mission, we would be absolutely indebted to you.
Lastly, we need fans! The so-called VIP won’t come across as being famous at all if people don’t treat her as such. We would love to have as many as 30-40 people posing as fans, so if you’re in and can play the part, we’d love to have you there! Dress casual, and be sure to bring pens, paper, and your cameras (for autographs and pictures).
Each one of these groups is equally important, and we would love to have as many people involved as possible. If you plan on joining us as a fan, please simply RSVP to this event and leave us a post on the wall below letting us know of your plans. IMPORTANT: For any other position, it is ESSENTIAL that you contact me as described above to apply for the position. We would love to give all of you the part you want, but we must keep this organized so it doesn’t get out of control.
Sorry for the long description y’all, but this one is going to be complex! Not to mention REDICULOUS! Hope to be in touch with you guys and can’t wait to see you there!
