This Wednesday, March 18th, I will voluntarily attempt to spend 24 hours in my local Walmart. You’re probably asking yourself, why? Why, why, why, why, why? I don’t know how else to respond except, because science…which urban dictionary defines as “the perfect answer to any otherwise un-answerable question.” Really, I think it sounds like a potentially interesting experience, I may not be in many more positions in life where I can just straight up take a day to do this, and I oddly might regret if I don’t just try it. I’d say part-endurance challenge, part-social experiment, and part-curiosity about how I will spend this time. I’m also not quite sure what I’m hoping to get out of this except a memorable, unique, and extraordinary (in the most literal sense of the word) experience. There’s a strong chance I’ll never want to step foot in a Walmart again afterwards. Or maybe I’ll never want to leave…who knows.

If I’m going to be spending a day of my life doing this I should most certainly document it, so I’ll be tweeting at @wodkawodkawodka all day and blogging periodically here. I plan on setting up some games, scavenger hunts, and who knows what else in there. I’ll also be taking requests, challenges, and any questions people may have about products or people at Walmart.

I’m as curious as anyone to see how this goes…more info as soon as I figure it out.
