Okie, so you all know that my form of exercise back in California was spontaneous dancing all around the city. Well, I haven't done any of that here, although sometimes on my run I do get a little crazy. Anywho, as I was riding the bus I picked up the newspaper and under the events sections it had Boston Silent dance experiment. Later on I went to check the website out and lo and behold there is actually a group of people, huge group, of people that are willing to engage in spontaneous fun loving activities! The next day they were all going to meet outside of Fanueil Hall, (A building from back in the 1770's where all sorts of political rallies occured...susan b, john adams, so on so forth) Anyways, lots of tourist, downtown boston...busy place! Everyone downloaded the same song and everyone played it at 1 pm at the exact same time! Over 400 people there! It was hilarious! 400 people jumping up and down, (silently) maybe a few giggles here and there, fist in the air, in the thinker pose, sychronized swimming, conga line....oh man!
Who knew? There is so much diversity in the Boston area, you can just about any group of people anywhere!
I will try and figure out how to get the pictures up!

hey lovely iris. That sounds so awesome! 400 people dancing to one song...holy shit. So what else does the group entail...what is the website. Have you put in your ideas? Maybe you can get some people to do your spontaneous activity each week. :)Keep me posted!
Hi Iris, Oh very interesting..What was the downloaded song? Perhaps, Butterflies are Free :) They seem to be more fun than the folks at Berkeley.
Love,
Momma
