Info: Facebook Event Page

just seen this, on the 8th of December 2010, the whole world is gonna have a massiv event dedicated to time travel. admittedly its not a hugely advertised thing, but it'll be more fun to have random people the world over startling the "normal" people instead of having EVERYONE doing it.

basically, you pretend to be a time traveller, from anywhere and any time. you could be the next Doctor (doctor who), or a Prisoner from some prison world thousands of years in the future who has escaped into our time, or you could be a random stranger from any time period who has been dragged into our time. anything goes, as long as you stay in character all day.

my fav suggestions from the Facebook Event page:

- Walk up to random people and say "WHAT YEAR IS THIS?" and when they tell you, get quiet and then say "Then there's still time!" and run off.

- Take some trinket with you (it can be anything really), hand it to some stranger, along with a phone number and say "In thirty years dial this number. You'll know what to do after that." Then slip away.

- Discover and become obsessed with one trivial aspect of technology, like automatic grocery doors. Stay there for hours playing with it.

Can we start a guild-wide thing dedicated to this? It's amazing and I love it and I adore it to bits. Already arranging it with friends.

we need to get mates filming and photographing us doing it then. we could youtube all the videos and then upload them to the Facebook group, and show them off here of course.

im thinking going as Gifford from my novels; the Riptide Chronicles. so a nice steampunk outfit will be worn for that!

Via the power of Facebook, I now have a small army of people who're going to terrorise Manchester on this day with their time-travelling shinanigans. Everyone's got their partner and a small area. Nearly twenty people so far and counting.

Thank you so much! This is so brilliant. biggrin

i'd like to know how you want to meet up, AND build them all over the world... if someones in china, and your in blighty, then it'd be a LITTLE hard to meet up and build it in seperate countries... XD

either way, im thinking of wearing my Aether Oscillator necklace and using that as my form of time travel
