EDIT: I'm and idiot, I should really read over my post before posting. I know it should be FTW, not DTW. Can any moderator out there changes this for me, then delete what i'm writing now? Thanks.
Ok, many of us are planing on being in NYC this weekend, myself included, so i thought I'd let everybody know about Come Out & Play 2008. Basically it's an event that tries to turn NYC into a giant playground. Heres some info from their website (http://www.comeoutandplay.org/about.php):
We are extremely excited to announce that Come Out & Play will be returning to New York City this spring. The festival will run from June 6-8. The excellent bookstore Bluestockings will play host to the festival and serve as headquarters. The festival will spread across the Lower East Side of Manhattan, bringing the streets to life.
Games will take place in locaitons around New York, but will be centered around Bluestockings and the Lower East Side.
All games are free.
Here's the alphabetical line-up of games:
* Bike Friendly City
* The Comfort of Strangers
* Competitive Picnicking
* Fort Amsterdam
* Human Blackjack
* Humatar
* The Invention of Murder
* The Lost Sport of Olympia
* Manhattan Megaputt
* Metrophile
* The Ministry of Silence
* Mission IN
* Pigeon Piñata Pummel
* Priced Out
* Ravenchase Adventures
* Re:Activism NYC
* Search Brigade
* Size Game
* Snap Shot City
* Speed Director
* Super Happy Fun City Bingo
* Turf
* Urban Bingo
* Wiffle Hurling MV
In 2006 the Come Out & Play Festival turned New York City into a playground for a weekend, then did the same for the city of Amsterdam in 2007. Hundreds of players gathered to play dozens different games across each city. Players raced through the night in a city-wide game of zombie tag. Friends faced off in life-sized Pong using only their ears to "hear" the ball. Payphones produced points and Tompkins Square Park became a putt-putt course. 200 people performed stunts to display on the Reuters screen in Times Square. It has been darn good and fascinating fun.
Well, the festival is back. In June 2008, the New York will have the chance to come out and play again across the Lower East Side of Manhattan.
