Another wonderfully ridiculous event, ironically organized by the Boston Society of Spontaneity. This time we gathered outside the shopping center at the Prudential to learn about the event: each of us was asked to develop a silly walk, a la Monty Python, and then spend a few minute practicing it. 
Then, about 5-10 people at a time, we went into the Pru with a simple instruction: just wander around and shop, doing your silly walk. And so we did. My friend Anthony and I got several reactions, ranging from funny looks and muttered comments, to one woman who flat-out asked us what was going in. The best was the guy who turned to us on the escalator and said, in an exaggerated accent. “Ah! Will you be applying for a position at the Ministry of Silly Walks, then? Might I suggest that you could make your walk a bit sillier by occasionally stopping in mid-step, like this? Ah, yes!”
Great fun. And, I might add, a good workout. I look forward to Pillow Fight Day…
