“Its the little people that made this freeze possible” -Will Holland
All I can say is that we were never clever enough to pull this off in my day. Perhaps because facebook didn’t exist, or perhaps because Northrup Mall was busy being polluted by animal rights protesters in cages and Jews for Jesus gospel preachers on soapboxes. However, I was recently invited to an event called the University of Minnesota Freeze 2.0 set for September 14th, and definitely had a laugh. Congrats to Will Holland for helping put this together, its funny as hell. Check out the video from last year’s event above, and click the link above for info on this year’s freeze. If you are in Minnesota, you should definitely try and join in.
Officiall statement: This September 14th, we will participate in the 2nd Minnesota freeze. Participants will freeze in place on Northrop Mall on the Minneapolis East Bank campus for 5 minutes, stunning onlookers and creating an amazing sight to be a part of. This will be a great way to welcome our new freshmen to campus.
that is funny. would be fun to do it if i’m around then. one time a bunch of us “painted” 2″ blue dots with chalk all over the west bank and then just hung around to see what people said about it. it was fun. there was a picture in the tribune and as far as i know, no one ever really knew who did it.
That was a really cool video! It’s amazing how many people participated. It would have been fun to do when I was in school.
