Metro Makeout

Metro Makeout

Metro Makeout happened at Celebrities in Vancouver on the 26th →

I didn't attend, though evidently there was some drama LJ-style in the comments to the announcement.

After the success of the 8 Hour Makeout, enterprising LiveJournalers organized the Metro Makeout, which occured on the evening of July 16th, 2005 between Broadway SkyTrain station and Waterfront SkyTrain station, and then back to Broadway. Before attending the event, I wrote about it on my weblog.

No Political Statement Other Than That Kissing Is Fun

July 19, 2005

This past weekend I almost decided not to attend the Metro Makeout party taking place on Vancouver's SkyTrain, my excuse being that because of the media attention, it would be attended by enough people to 'document' it. Though I didn't participate, I'm glad I went, and even took some photos of the event. (If you're squeamish about girls and dudes making out with each other, then there are better links to click on than that one.) For some background and photos, see the writeup of the 8 Hour Makeout as well as the follow-up of Metro Makeout by the event's organizer. Like I said, I didn't participate, the excuse being that all the people kissing were gay, which is of course bullshit because not all of them strictly identified themselves as such, so it was mostly squeamishness of kissing someone I never met. It got a little steamy at one point, especially on the way back, and the reactions of the onlookers was worth the price of admission (note: there was no price of admission, and no political statement other than that kissing is fun).

It looks like Roland is trying to give Vancouver the label "Makeout City", and though Jay has a lock on both the domain and the phrase, the sentiment is right. Team Makeout wants to give this city a kick in the pants, and their events, pseudo-secret up until close to when the event occurs, are steps in the right direction.
