AFTER THE BIG BLIZZARD FESTIVITIES - February 9, 2013
This weekend, Boston will be rocked by the biggest snow storm to hit New England in years. It's expected to howl away through Friday night and Saturday morning... leaving us Saturday afternoon to play in the snow! Grab your buckets, shovels and gloves and join us as we set up some speakers, put out some hot chocolate, and build snow forts, snowmen, and whatever other snow sculpture you want in Union Square.
Artisan's Asylum has done this once before to great affect - two years ago, we had around 200 people join us, and we made Calvin & Hobbes sculptures, igloos, snow-decahedrons, snow dragons, armies of tiny snowmen, and more. You can read more about our previous escapades here: http://somerville.patch.com/articles/photo-gallery-snow-art-flash-mob-creates-wintry-art-and-an-epic-snowball-fight
If you're interested, I encourage you to share the Facebook event for this so we can get a good crowd: https://www.facebook.com/events/566841069995108/ . Invite your friends, and let's have us a snow day!
One last note: this event is weather dependent! Our ideal would be if 1-2' of snow was on the ground, skies were clear and winds were mild to non-existent. If the conditions are something more akin to it being multiple tens of degrees below zero, with gale force winds and driving sleet, we obviously won't be doing this. We'll announce one way or another on this list.
Thanks,
