The Great Choose Your Own MANHUNT… Part II

The Great Choose Your Own MANHUNT… Part II
The people have spoken, and they have said “WESTMOUNT, WESTMOUNT, WESTMOUNT”. It was mildly creepy, and only reinforcing my theory that Westmount is secretly ruling the world. And so, with great pleasure I announce our next event:
When: August 17th, 17h.
Where: WESTMOUNT (park), WESTMOUNT (park), WESTMOUNT (park)
Check out the map, show up, and we will chase each other around like the wild Westmount pigeon chases its prey, the humble Westmount crumb.
See you then,

The Great Choose-you-own-MANHUNT!

manhuntmontreal — Sun, 10 Aug 2008 16:25:53 +0000

When: Sat, Aug 16th, 17h
Where: well… who can say?

What’s better than Manhunt? Well nothing, everyone knows that. But, what might be better than our normal m.o. is this: We want to have another park game this week, but we’re not sure where, so we’re turning to you guys for your opinion:

Unfortunately, McGill gave us a little bit of a hard time, as there’s construction going on all over campus. This leaves us with a couple choices for park in the downtown/plateau area:

Lafontaine Park (Green): Our usual greeny haunt
Mount Royal Park (Blue): A bit more of a foresty terrain
Laurier Park (Red): Kind of… well a mix I guess… but so is Mount Royal really
Westmount park (orange): hills and trees and ducks, oh my!

So post your vote here, on facebook, or email us before Tuesday and we’ll announce our location on Wednesday.

Until then, happy huntin’!

Update…

manhuntmontreal — Thu, 07 Aug 2008 15:41:40 +0000

So guys, here’s the deal…. Our next game is gonna be a big one – I’m moving away, the summer’s coming to a bitter end, and it’s time we show the world what a manhunt means… again…
As such we’re going to get you guys a little involved: In the next day or two we’ll be posting a survey online for you guys to pick your favourite park for our next game. (The delay is only because I’m waiting for permission from McGill to see if they’re cool with it. They’re private property and all, you see…)
So come and vote (the address will be posted in a message i’ll send), and then we shall rejoice!

Happy huntin’!

The Spectacularious Fantantansical Manhunt Extravalarium Re-enactment!

manhuntmontreal — Tue, 15 Jul 2008 18:03:36 +0000

When: July 19th, 17h00
Where: Crescent and Rene Levesque (a.k.a. the big martini glass)
Largest Cardboard Box Ever Constructed: 10.04 m (length) x 4.02 m (width) x 2.2 m (height) (by Smurfit Kappa Van Dam Golfkarton B.V)

That’s right folks – come one, come all to this week’s super special edition of manhunt, in which we shall re-enact a very special event – the very first manhunt EVER!… have we already done this?

According to legend, it all started many years ago… or three… when the very first manhunters – our good friends Adair and Phil, collected a group of innocent people to run amok, trying to tag one another in a mystical game of hide-and-seek-tag. Since then, every other week – seasonal weather permitting – we have honoured this tradition…

And so… well you know how it goes

We’ll be playing downtown right in the heart of tourist central – let’s give them a show, eh?

See you all there, and happy huntin’

La Frénésie du MANHUNT

manhuntmontreal — Tue, 17 Jun 2008 03:55:00 +0000

WHEN: Saturday, June 21, 17h
WHERE: Carré St Louis, next to the gazebo (see map below)
MOST MODELLING BALLOON SCULPTURES MADE IN AN HOUR: 722

There is a tradition in the world of MANHUNT Montreal that we like to… well… do.
Every year the St Laurent merchants’ association organizes a weekend (or two) of street fairing and terasse sangriationing on the Main, and every year we like to add a little twist to it by making sure a slight chaos reigns for just one hour on the appropriate Saturday afternoon.

The time has come for us to carry on this tradition…

Well the time hasn’t come yet, really…

But it’s coming… In fact, it will arrive in just 4 days, 17 hours, and counting… I mean I’m not counting… But there’s a thingy on my facebook profile page that is… I really just stole the time from there… I’m sorry… kinda… ok I’m over it.

So come one come all… or at least many… if everyone came we’d run out of armbands… and enjoy the game the way it was meant to be played… ok at least one way it was meant to be played… among a ridiculous crowd up the Main!

Happy Huntin’

MANHUNT: Park Edition

manhuntmontreal — Wed, 04 Jun 2008 14:30:17 +0000

Hello hunters!
Quick info:
What: MANHUNT
When: 20h15, June 7, 2008
Where: Parc Lafontaine (Meet at the bridge in the middle)
Highest jump by a pig ever recorded: 27.5” (by Kotetsu)

Apologies for the slightly late invite – my time was split upon my landlord demanding of me a most heinous… umm… thing.… I had to clean my basement… and that is *not* a euphemism.

Anyway – back to the topic at hand, which is this weekend’s super awesome fantastic version of MANHUNT. This week, and this week alone… and maybe another week later… we will be playing our favourite game in PARC LAFONTAINE.

That’s right – you read me correctly: it’s time for

MANHUNT: in which a large number of adults run around trying to catch each other while onlookers watch with both fear and arousal.

We’ll be playing the game a little bit later this week, mainly to allow us to enjoy a little bit of the dark. The sun will be setting at 20:40, so let’s meet at 20h15 (which translated to 8:15pm in American ) – we’ll have one game in the sun and one in the not sun.

And finally, just to make things all worthwhile, upon completion of said game we shall drink to the gods of MANHUNT, whoever they may be, at the Quincaillrie, which may or may not be the correct name of a bar that may be found on Rachel near the Park (and is highly recommended by Amy, who is almost certainly one of the gods to whom we will be drinking).

À Samedi! (which translates to “Until Saturday” in American)

Oh – our map is now 1nt0Ract1v3. This means that anyone from ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD can see where it is… We’re just one step closer to becoming an olympic sport!
(Trasnlation: I’m totally procrastinating now….)

MANHUNT!  MANHUNT!  PARTY TIME!! EXCELLENT!!
manhuntmontreal — Mon, 05 May 2008 03:17:27 +0000

Where: The Old Port! Meet in front of the Centaur Theatre – 453 St François Xavier, south of Notre Dame O. (Closest metro: Places-d’Armes)
When:  Sat, May 10th, 17h00
Who:  More than 50 people ready to run around the streets like a bunch of rabid chipmunks with roid rage!!
This one is gonna be short and sweet guys – the invite not the game, that is.  We’ve got a HUGE crew that’s joined our ranks thanks to our little CTV appearance, so this Saturday we’re looking at record numbers…. (boo-yah!) We’ll be playing on May 10th in the old port – we figured we’d hit up the area this year before the tourists made it a little too difficult – not to mention wedding photo shoots for those of you who were there last year  
We’ll meet up in front of the Centaur Theatre (453 St François Xavier ) – just follow the map… and if you can’t follow the map… then you’re not allowed to play… or at least you don’t deserve to  

See you guys there, and happy huntin!

Did someone say MANHUNT??
manhuntmontreal — Fri, 18 Apr 2008 16:38:02 +0000

Putting the ‘ban’ back in ‘urban’ since 2006… but not really…
WHEN: The BIGGEST MANHUNT EVER (in 2008, so far)

WHEN: April 26, 5pm (not this Saturday, but the next one)

WHERE: Carré St-Louis (home game!)
 Are y’all ready for the most manhuntiest manhunt in manhunt history? The most mind-gaming, person-chasing, orange arm band-blazing pandemonium to ever hit the streets of Montreal? 
… no, you probably aren’t…  but you can come anyway.
You, and all your friends, are personally invited to join one of the most … how about “ruckusorious” (it’s a word now!) events in Montreal  – The largest manhunt EVER (in 2008, so far). The game will be held in the lower plateau on April 26th at 5pm – we’ll be meeting in front of the gazebo in Carré St-Louis right across from Sherbrooke metro, right where manhunt began. There will probably even be a CTV crew coming by to film (for riilzzz!!), so look for the cameras and the orange armbands, and be ready to hunt like you’ve never hunted before… well unless you’ve played before in which case be ready to hunt like you did that time… only more!
And this week only – winners will receive a firm handshake and pat on the back if so desired. Ok, maybe this happens everyweek, but this time it will be with *love* 

(I’ll be sending out another invite closer to the 26th to remind everyone)
One last thing before we go – would anyone else be into making some t-shirts? I was thinking something orange (of course!), with maybe our logo? Anyone who’s into it let me know and maybe we can throw some ideas around. We can probably also get a pretty good price if we’re a bunch of people. 
Until then, happy huntin’

LAST MINUTE MANHUNT
manhuntmontreal — Thu, 10 Apr 2008 17:38:58 +0000

Where: McGill Milton Gates – University and Milton

When: Saturday, April 12, 17h00

Why: BECAUSE WE CAN
Apologies, hunters, for the late invite, but gods of academe have been relentless with me over the past little while, performing acts which, if described herein, would give this letter an R rating for violence AND sexual acts…. However, this will not stop the hunt!
We will be gathering at the Milton Gates for a McGill Ghetto game – if only to show the very gods who have wronged me what we think of their world. Come students, ex-students, professors, and deans to run and hunt each other down like freshman as we say farewell to the classes that have haunted so many over the years past!

Happy Huntin!

-The peeps.
