Downtown Crossing on a Friday during Rush Hour?!?
Let's give a big round of applause to the organizers because you couldnt possibly pick a worse location or time of day.
Unless they're bringing their MRAP, this could get out of hand in minutes and the cops couldnt do a thing to stop it.
Good luck everyone.
Rush Hour?
How is there Rush Hour on a place that is a pedestrian zone? Too many pedestrians?!?
Seems to be this is the BEST time to have one of these. When there's lots of people out and about and on their way home.
Friday Evening - Downtown Crossing?
Tell me you haven't been in DTX since about 1994 without telling me you haven't been in DTX (Not you Chris).
There are more people at a John Birch Society meeting in Wellfleet in August than there are in DTX on a Friday afternoon.
Attention all - If you see groups of khaki clad 20 something suburban tools with facemasks on the T on Friday call MBTA police and give them all the information you can. It is not illegal of course to look like a model for the Gap circa 2000 coupled with surgery garb on your face but, you know.
Mark Rober still in town?
He spoke at MIT Commencement. This seems like a suitable application for a glitter bomb with fart spray.
Oh Look
Someone who never goes somewhere is worried about traffic and security in that location that they clearly never go to!
Wow. You are aware that there are pedestrian only areas and even a performance space with seating in the area? Of course you aren't.
Can it swirls.
I'm there all the time.
This is a BAD idea.
Obviously not
Your rather bizarre comment says otherwise. I'm only one of four here who questions that - just the one you conveniently chose to attack.
Check out this street view of the performance space in a pedestrianized area.
Why is it a bad idea?
Why is it a bad idea?
You don't say.
Good for you and condragulations for getting out of the house. So aren't I.
How so? Please do fill us in.
Wait I'm confused... Isn't
Wait I'm confused... Isn't this a pedestrian zone? Aren't there several police stations within a few minutes walk from there? Isn't this an area designed to hold many many more people than it currently does? Are there not multiple train stations inches from this location?
What's the armoured military vehicle you suggested for?
I am totally perplexed by your comment. You make it sound like they are closing a highway down with riot gear or something.
Explain how this is a bad idea?
Are you concerned that people who do violence at a drag show will attend and use this opportunity to commit violence?
That is the rational which supports the theory that a woman who is raped deserved it because she wore suggestive clothing. In other words the victim deserves the violence because they caused the perpetrator to be out of control of themselves.
Yea, and the devil made them do it!
Well, we know that the devil will be very busy for a while finding a circle of his newest religious tenant.
They should continue these shows weekly
To attract people back to Downtown Crossing which has become deserted after dark. They could also do shows on the concourse at Downtown Crossing station.
Sounds Fun!
I have friends visiting this weekend, perhaps they'd enjoy hanging out at DTX for a bit tomorrow evening before we hit some place for dinner. I'm guessing it will be a raucously good time.
Will they do a pantomime of
Will they do a pantomime of drag-Ponce de Leon arriving in North America to search for the Fountain of Youth? We can record it and send it to DeSantis so his head will explode.
