One Monday night about a year ago, Austin de Rubira and his brother Mitchell felt bored. They decided to change all that -- surprising their friends by "kidnapping" them from their houses and then driving around listening to gypsy music and yelling. The tradition has continued since then-- always on a weeknight, always including an element of surprise. They call their activity a lot of names, but no name is official. Someone might say, "going out", "living a little". Others might be a bit more covert -- calling it "dancing at dance park" or "space mountain".
Whatever you call it, it will be part of This American Life's "Middle of the Night" episode, which airs this weekend. So whadda ya say? Why not live a little? (and check it out...)
