On April 1, the day of Fools, the Sydney Anti-Filter Coalition is planning a flashmob event in the Central Business District of Sydney.

The Plan for the evening:

Meet: 5:30pm. Hyde Park North on the East side of the fountain. We will have flyers and gags provided too. Look for the man with a hat and handfulls of flyers and gags. After the conventional 15 minutes milling around, we will make an assessment of numbers and what sort of area to cover.

If the numbers aren’t sufficient, we will drop the purple and aqua areas in favour of targetting the central business district. Each route is just a guide, as the whole city will be your playground. (Within reason, we dont want anyone getting arrested.)

At the meeting point, everyone will be instructed to break up into teams of atleast two but no more than about six. Each team will have a designated ’speaker’ these are the normally dressed people who will hand out flyers and be the public liason person to the shoppers and onlookers. Everyone else will be gagged or otherwise censored and wandering around together in small groups. The aim is to meet back up in front on the Museum of Contemporary Art at 7PMish.

After we meet back up, we’ll have a quick debrief, so we can share media gathered etc. and for those that prefer a longer debrief we can adjourn to a pub.
