FOOLISHfriday JUNE 18 is the first day of worldSILLYweek but it doesn’t actually start until 11: 11am. In Launceston the week will be ‘fanfared in’ by Launceston’s Mayor, Ald. Janie Dickenson’s, mystery stand-in. Ald. Janie Dickenson will be in Hobart for FOOLISHfriday but her mystery stand-in will be blowing something in Civic Square, just outside Town Hall, in the shadow of Launceston’s town clock and dead on the dot of 11:11 am.
worldSILLYweek actually starts ?at 11: 11 am sharp – local time – wherever you are in the world. And wherever people are in the world they are encouraged to BLOW SOMETHING ... a whistle .. a trombone ... your car horn ... a bugle ... fog horn ... your bagpipes ... anything will do!!!!! ... just to help ‘fanfare in’ worldSILLYweek .
An important point to remember is that during worldSILLYweek EVERYTHING important happens at 11 minutes past the hour! And, on DEADmonday JUNE 28 at 11: 11 am sharp worldSILLYweek finishes.
At the very same spot her mystery representative blew the whistle on the week Ald. Janie Dickenson herself will blow the whistle on the week. It’s important to point out that after 11:11 am on DEADmonday it is no longer considered cool to be silly and until dark everyone is required to make an extra effort to be sensible in order to recover from their worldSILLYweek festivities.
People in Launceston who have not already got one, and who really need one, can pick up a ‘License to be Silly’ at the service desk at Town Hall
People in Launceston can also go to The METZ on the corner of York & St. Johns Streets where the staff will be offering 'Licenses to be Silly' for a donation of $2 to the Examiner's Winter Appeal. Not only will The METZ give you a license, they'll also give you a FREE Beer. But this offer is only good for FOOLISHfriday. People caught out being sensible at the METZ will be issued with a SILLYweek Infringement Notice and required to make a $2 donation. However they will not be eligible for a free beer.
