So the "surprise" was a bit odd but fun nonetheless. Event staff portioned off the front of the building for the first 200 people where we were given mini zeitgeist flags, wristbands, and T-shirts. They then asked the first 6 people in line to separate from the group. Here is where it got a bit weird.
the 194 people were given sticks of wood made to look like protest signs that said "We love SP" on one side, and the album cover on the other side.
the 6 people (myself included) were given SP protest signs that said "down with SP" and "SP Sucks" etc...
At this point we were told to mock a protest. A few minutes later during our "Protest" Corgan and his crew pull up in two classic cars and get out in the middle of it all. They shook hands with a few fans and then headed in the building.
The most funny part of it all was all of the bystanders that had accumulated and thought it was a real protest.
Yea so, like I said. Kinda weird. Billy Corgan I suppose...
