Stand Still

This happened about two weeks ago but it's so awesome I just have to post it before I forget about it. We were at Target in Orland Park and I thought it would be fun to do a stand still. You get as many people as you can, go to a public location with a lot of foot traffic, and you all freeze in place at the same time, and stay frozen for at least a minute. Well, we did this with four people at the entrance of Target for about ten minutes. We stood across from each other in groups of two as if we met by random chance, and of course we all had action oriented poses. Alex Troyan was half walking which was quite the testament to his ability to do something and not mess it up, and I had a pointed hand in the air. We received a lot of reactions from people thinking it was a school project, people thinking we were weird losers, and people bumping into us to see if we would move. Eventually we got kicked out by security but it was well executed and well worth it. I hope to do it again at Target in New Lenox but on a much grander scheme.
