some ideas for May 6th reclaim the Streets

Turn Dublin into a drive-in by staging some guerilla film screenings. Project Keystone Cops onto Pearse Street police station, Wallstreet onto the Central Bank ... The Three Stooges works almost anywhere.

With posters, stickers, or handbills, notify people that "Tomorrow is Cancelled." Make your notices look official or frivolous---either way, won't they be surprised when it happens anyway.

Dress up as a well-to-do investment banker and beg for money in the streets to fund your luxurious lifestyle. "Spare a dime to support my limousine?" "Help fund a ski trip in the Alps?" "Will manage stock portfolios for caviar!"

Food Drops for the Unhealthy: Bring humanitarian aid to where it is needed on the homefront. Drop brightly colored packages of fruits and vegetables into the laps of McDonalds patrons.

The Pig Jam!

Get four pigs and number them with paint, 1, 2, 3, and 5. Let them loose in a chain department store and see how long the staff searches for that 4th pig.
