An annual "gathering of the tribes" for Minnesota's growning community of Urban Explorers takes place in the Twin Cities in late January. A public meeting is scheduled for Saturday, January 21st, 2006
January 9, 2006 (Press Release) --
Saint Paul, MN, January 10, 2006 -- If you see strange-looking people skulking around the Twin Cities during the fourth week of January, don't be alarmed. They're not terrorists, just part of Minnesota's ever-present - and ever-growing - community of Urban Explorers, taking part in the annual community get-together known as Mouser Week.
Mouser Week VI - a surrepititious eight-day celebration of the hidden, forgotten, off-limits, and generally unseen portions of the metro area, will be taking place between 21 and 28 January. Media, law-enforcement, and curious adults interested in learning more about urban explorers and their activities are invited to attend a firework- and religion-free public dinner at Riverside Perkins, 901 27th Avenue South, in Minneapolis at 7pm on Saturday the 21st of January. Learn about the real underside of the metro area; discover what "Rinker's Revenge", "Drainwalking", and "snotsicles" are; find out how many candles it takes to illuminate a storm drain; hear the stories too risque to publish on the web, and meet the charismatic, entertaining, and occasionally mediapathic men and women who explore Minnesota, and survived to tell about it.
Since the mid 1990s, curious men and women of the Twin Cities have explored the abandoned buildings, caves, mines, drains, sewers, steam tunnels, and other nooks and crannies of their surroundings, resulting in a number of websites, a few arrests, and a feature-length documentary set to debut in 2006, "Urban Explorers - Into the Darkness", directed by Saint Paul filmmaker Melody Gilbert (http://www.urbanexplorersfilm.com).
For more information on UE in general, please see http://www.infiltration.org . Media and law-enforcement with questions or an interest in joining the various non-dinner activities scheduled should contact the members of the Twin Cities Urban Exploration Cabal, at http://www.tcuec.com, no later than Thursday, 19 January.
