Birmingham: It’s Not Shit’s 11 – 11 – 11

On the 11th of November let’s create a modern ritual, a post-millennial cultural cult. Eleven hours on the eleven bus — join us. The rules: Get on the 11C at 11am (or as near as dammit) on 11/11. Get off the 11C at 10pm — 11 hours later — (or as near as dammit) on 11/11. You can get on and off the bus as many times as you like (don’t spend more than an hour off bus). Document your journey; photos, film, writing, cross-stitch, knitting, amigurumi, poetry, blog, twitter, however you like. Meet up with others as mad as you, if you want.

The inspiration: This is kind of inspired by Gimpo’s 25 Hour M25 spin.
