Every year, my boyfriend wants the same thing for his birthday, and last year it was such a flop I feel compelled to make it a success this year!

He wants all his friends, and friends of friends, to make Seamus Day signs and post photos of themselves marching on the sidewalk or the street on May 25, 2012. It’s like performance art in which we all collaborate to make a fake parade, ignoring the constraints of space and time!

All it takes is a sign, a camera, and three to five minutes of point-and-shoot. The sign can say anything from Happy Birthday to Seamus Day or something of your choice. (I’d like to see Free Seamus or Save the Seamus, myself, haha. I’d also like to see costumes, but obviously anything goes!)

If you decide to participate, post the photo and link to it in the comments, or just e-mail it to me at seamus day parade at plunderpuss dot net and I’ll put it up here.

My contribution this year was a little overboard and slightly illegal, but not illegal enough to keep me from doing it:

I walked six miles in just over two hours to put all of these up, because I'm crazy and in looove.

Here’s the flyer (with a date):

If you want to print your own and put it up where you think people might get a kick out of it, or you just want a copy of my gorgeous boyfriend’s face for your cubicle, you can download a high-res version here.

THE PARADE:

First photo, and a costume even!

I doubt Sean actually broke into a church sign and did this, but I'm going to pretend he did because that's hilarious.

For shiggles, I am ALSO going to pretend the Inkpunks are little sockpuppets on the many arms of a tentacle monster deep beneath the earth's crust...
