Project Bueller: FAQ's, and the answers you seek
Q: When and where should be we show up?
If you want to be an audience agent, we recommend you arriving early to get a good spot. This means 6:00 if you are near the beginning (Spring and 6th Ave) and 8:00 if you are near the end (21st and 6th Ave). Where you and your friends decide to station yourselves is up to you. (Do what you feel like doing!!….Except jumping the police barricades, don’t do that, instead show up early and march with us. See below!)
The TV Crews are stationed at 10th and 6th Ave and even though we’ll be repeating the routine throughout the path, we’re really going to rock the shit out of this block in particular. You should probably stake out good spots there as early as 6pm.
If you want to be part of the float crew, (this is open to the Beer Maid Brigade, the Stair Dancers, and anyone who feels like they have exceptionally captured the essence of a character from the film) Arrive between 6-6:30 pm at Broome and 6th Ave and find our float on 6th Ave between Broome and Spring - give the password “Ferris Bueller” and you will be let into the area. This is subject to change, so please visit the blog on Friday morning for exact directions.
Q: May we wear costumes that are not associated with Project Bueller?
Of course you can, as long as go totally ballistic and dance like you got ants in yo pants when you hear us coming.
Q: How can I dance upon those stairs?
There are no stairs immediately along the parade path that would suit this, but the float is nicely equipped with it’s own set of stairs. We are thinking we prepare a stair dance routine that we’ll pull out for the TV Crew stop at 10th and 6th Ave.
If you want to be a part of this, come to rehearsal, and be ready for line-up at 5pm on the big day so that we can practice on the float while we prepare for glory.
Q: How can I be a Beer Maid?
Get the dress (see below posting), Come to Rehearsal, Party. We would like to have as large a Beer Maid Brigade as possible so as to fill the float and surrounding road with dirndl-ed awesomeness. We’ll take turns on the float, so we’ll each get to go through the routine with Ferris.
Q: When and where is rehearsal?
Rehearsal will be this Sunday (10/26) from 6-8pm at The South 4th Bar, located on S 4th St and Berry in Williamsburg. There is a make-up rehearsal on the following Wednesday (10/29) from 7-830pm, at the same location.
Extra notes about rehearsal: It’s in the back room of the bar where we’ll be playing the scene on a big screen and going over it, and over it and over it. Please come dressed as your part. It will be a feast for the eyes, and a freaking blast!! (BONUS: S. 4th St bar is a traditional bar in the sense that it has beer!!!)
Q: Is rehearsal mandatory for the float crew?
Whatever. Everyone is welcome to dress the part and march with us, but if you want to get on the float for the big TV Spot, you better come and rehearse with us. It will be fun!!!
Q: I heard there is going to be a Marching Band, is that true?
A: Well yes there is, thanks for asking. The Brooklyn Steppers will ROCK you.
Q: Do you have a float?
A: Yes, and it’s huge.
Your Mission: is to check your e-mail next week, where your mission will be revealed.
Have a super excellent weekend!!!
