Iranian Water Fight 2011

August 16, 2011

Iranian Water FIght, Sunnybrook Park, Toronto

Who: Me, partner in crime, and many teenagers.

What: Iranian Water Fight 2011.

When: Saturday, August 13, 2011.

Where: Sunnybrook Park, Toronto.

Why: Because it’s fun! And for some, its also a political response to the water fight ban in Iran.

Loosely organized on Facebook with more than 450 RSVP’s, this event was sure to be grand. I like being part of viral movements that have meaning, and the weather was perfect!

There was a water fight in Iran recently that got many people arrested and made the news. It wasn’t far from different in Toronto. The Toronto police crashed the water fight because there was no permit and they threatened to make arrests. The group dispersed but later on re-congregated by the river. The police didn’t come back.

Highlights: Me and my partner in crime emptied our water bottle on an unsuspecting dude taking a break from the water fight. It was a pretty cheap move to gang up on one person, but funny at the same time! What’s cheaper is that we ran away as fast as we could. But promised to return next year, with maybe a few more to add to the gang!

Then Officer Ahmed crashed the party.
