| Gurrilla Activities |
| To protest the fact that we cannot hear James and Will's Happy Hour in Phillips the members of the PHHLF decided to resort to gurrilla art. Gurrilla art is when a bunch of activists (like us) try to make something crafty that has a message. We decided to do this, so for several months we planned and plotted and saved up materials and then on the appointed day (a day that we liked to call D-Day) we stormed into Clay Commons where we constructed a 9 foot tall statue of Homer Simpson completely out of soap. Like I said we saved up for months and months so we didn't use any of our soap for months. After a week of not using soap we decided to not take showers either (a decision I will never regret). Needless to say because of our lack of personal hygene it wasn't hard to keep people away while we were building our statue. You may be asking yourself how did a 9 foot statue of Homer Simpson make a radical political statement about the radio squalor of Phillipps Hall? The answer lies in the ellusive yet sometimes slippery truth that when it is late at night one should not make webpages (or plan gurrilla activities). Needless to say that didn't work. So we tried something else. We sent one of our members to each floor of Phillipps, except the girls floors (one guy tried this and came back with his eyes scratched out). Then we sent a threatening letter to the RAs of each floor saying that if James and Will weren't on the radio we were going to set off the sprinklers (for all you terrorists to be, if you hit the sprinkler head real hard it will make the whole system go off). For 4 hours there was a standoff. Phillipps hall was evacuated and everybody took down their N' Sync posters and made a run for it. Then the police negotiator came in. But he obviously didn't know too much because he was smoking a cigar and the smoke set all the sprinklers off. It was his fault but we got in trouble for it. |
