On the 3rd, those of you that live in Calgary will see buses driving through your neighbourhoods kidnapping people for an audience. It's standard. Just make sure any family members who are usually allowed to walk around unfettered are chained that day.
'To audience' goes something like this:
Buses cruise local malls and drinking establishments, looking for "audience". Hence the expression, "I'm just lookin' for audience."
When a suitable mall is found, four to six teams of two exit the bus, in search of people. They prefer targetting teenagers on cell phones. They are distracted and don't see the 'Juno Jumpers' coming. The other group are older people that cannot run quickly. The handicapped are also included here.
Wheelchair access did not start because the public expected ramps or elevators in public places. The government could have cared less about their wants. It was done so that federal employees could transport persons with disabilites around easier. The union demanded it. And you know PSAC! They get precisely what they wants.
Calgarians, on April 3rd, here are some other tips:
1. Don't wear bright colours that will attract the jumpers.
2. People under 30: Wear conservatively styled attire. The kind your father or mother might have worn to church. Jumpers are instructed to look for tats, scruffy, odd or unusual fashions, coloured hair and painted fingernails (especially on guys).
3. If you have to go out, make sure at least three people know where you are going and when you will be back. Check in with them frequently. Every 10 minutes is suggested.
4. Avoid populated areas, especially malls or the downtown core.
5. Teens, the 3rd would be a good day to cut classes.
6. Jumpers use disguises. Be wary if approached by police, the clergy, EMT people, or buskers.
7.DO NOT listen to your ipod. Earbuds are a neon sign saying "Take me!"
8. Seniors, stay in on the 3rd and play BINGO. Do not answer your door to strangers. Stay in groups of four or five, with people you actually know!
9. Reschedule haircuts, doctor's appts, etc.
10. If your work means you must park in an underground garage, phone in sick.
For more tips on how to be safe during the Junos, check with your guidance counselor, local online bulletin boards or phone your local crisis help line.
