MRT Pub Crawl 2008
A friend shared on Facebook about this event which is pretty interesting. Note, you would have to log into Facebook to get the event page.
A description of the event:
Well…it’s very simple! We just wear a really loud bright colored t-shirt and board on the MRT (Singapore train service)! Starting off at Boonlay station, we stop and get off at every MRT station to buy cheap drinks. Be it a pub, coffeeshop, supermarket, or even a 7-11, we grab whatever we can and down as many drinks as possible. Why pay for expensive drinks at clubs when we can get them at cost price outside? The last stop will be at city hall in which we’ll go to a club of choice. Having built up a party momentum, we’ll party the night off with a blast! Its something like a drinking marathon + a tour around Singapore + pre party drinking + Valentine’s day celebration all combined into one!
The event reminds me of events that have been organized by lori kufner and kevin bracken of Newmindspace in Toronto and New York.
What does Newmindspace do?
Newmindspace is interactive public art, creative cultural interventions and urban bliss dissemination based in New York and Toronto.
One of our goals at Newmindspace is to make these unique happenings in public space become a significant part of popular culture, partially replacing passive, non-social, branded consumption experiences like watching television.
Newmindspace is committed to reclaiming public space, inventing new ways of having fun, and creating community.
