Tomato Dance: Clip ‘N’ Save
Submitted by Sarah D. Bunting on November 1, 2007 – 5:20 PM19 Comments
And now, a tentative schedule for tomatorrow’s tomactivities:
9-9:30: Leave Brooklyn via subway. N/R or D line to Rock Center.
10:15-ish: Pass through Today Show area. Whether I’ll show up on camera, I can’t say. They may make me go around; the costume could pose a mild security issue. (Hee.)
Late morning: Starbucks run. Starbucks is in the basement of Rock Center, near the Sea Grill. I’ll try to give you some advance notice.
1 PM: Tomato Dance.
I don’t know how many people we’ll have attending. I also don’t know whether the stupid Ocean Spray cranberry-bog promotion currently taking up the bulk of the Plaza’s real estate is still going to be there tomorrow; I really hope not.
Watch this space for updates.
Share!

…they put a cranberry bog in Rockefeller Center?
The mental image of tomato-costumed you floating in a cranberry bog is kind of fantastic, I have to say. Wish I could be there tomorrow!
This is going to be FILMED right? I can’t wait!!!
Oh Sars, you are such a good sport! I can’t wait to see the video. How I wish I could be there.
Have fun with it! But watch out–I dressed up as a children’s book character (Alright it was Arthur the Anteater) and literally got hit in the head several times by ADULTS. I use that term loosely, of course, since they acted like bratty children.
“Tomatorrow’s tomactivities” — hee!
You’re such a rock star, Sarah! Have fun with the tomafoolery. (That was not so good, but I couldn’t help it.)
It puts the camera in its handbag. It does this whenever there’s a tomato dance.
. . .
Wow, I just really creeped myself out right there.
Bah, I’ve gone and gotten sick…really wanted to witness this in person! I’ll look for you on the Today Show, though!
Never have I wished harder that I lived in New York . . . can’t wait to see the video. Best of tomato-y luck!
SO looking forward to the post-dance update – woo hoo hoodily tomatoy hoo!
I know you’re not leaving your apartment for another hour and a half, but I keep expecting Matt Lauer to look over the Top Of The Rock Parapet & say “is that a TOMATO?”
I am so sad that I won’t be able to witness this in person. But I’m thrilled that I’ll be able to see it on YouTube!
Have fun!
Man. I really wish I: A) Lived in New York or B) had a TV. Guess I’ll have to wait for the YouTubeage. (Stay warm out there!)
@Shotrock: HA! HAHAHA HA HA HA HEEE! Creepy, but funny nonetheless.
It does the tomato dance, or it gets the hose again, yes it does, doesn’t it, Precious?
Yeah, you’re right. Creepy.
So, how long will it be before the dance video is posted (I realize the dance hasn’t happened yet)
Why would that be a security issue? Don’t people in N.Y. and especially those in show-biz normally show up for work in big squishy outfits?
I don’t envy the trips to the bathroom but at least you’ll be nice and warm.
Just checked…there is a webcam on the Rock Center website… http://www.rockefellercenter.com/home.html
You may have to download a little plug in for it to work, and alas it only works on PCs.
I am so bummed, my Evil Canadian boss just spring a 1:00 meeting on me, so I can’t sneak out to Rockefeller Center for the Tomato Dance. (Well, given that my evil employers moved us to Harborside, Jersey City, earlier this year, the “sneak” would have involved pretty much blowing off the afternoon, thus making me about as “sneaky” as Little Joe.)
Ah, well, I’ll just have to look forward to the YouTubeage!
(BTW, am I the only one who when hearing “Tomato Dance” has flashbacks to the old “Hampster Dance”? The song, it haunts me…)
When you say “stupid cranberry bog,” you mean “awesome cranberry bog,” right? Just checking.
You know, I feel like someone should liveblog this. Just follow Sars around during the day and type it all up. Just throwing that out there.
