Personal Space Assignment

As of right now I think I want to go with my shower idea. The plan is to have a fairly large bucket full of water with a bag containing soap and a sponge inside as well as a smaller bucket that may be used to lift water up to pore on my body. What I will do is have two people carry the bucket and sort of appear to drop it off randomly in front of SRB, probably on the grass area. They will leave bucket there and just casually walk off, one of whom will record project from a distance. Then a few moments later, like 3 to 5 min, I will appear from the parking structure. I will show up with a white t-shirt, some shorts, sandals and be relatively filthy looking. I want it to be to the point where if people see me they will be like man he needs a shower. I may want to come from a farther area just to see more peoples reactions. When I arrive at the water bucket I will step into it and begin to soap up the sponge as to proceed to shower. I think that stepping into the bucket will work best since I don't want to pollute area around, the only problem is I may not end up as clean as I wanted to. I think it will work best if I take a shower close to 10 minutes long just so people can pass bye and hopefully react to the project. I will make sure to inform the camera person to not only film me but the people around. Once I'm clean I will step out of the bucket and walk off as if I'm merely proceeding with my day. My two friends will then go and pick up the bucket and walk off as if nothing changed with the bucket they had originally left. This might actually work best if I have three people so that I can capture the people placing and taking the bucket away. I might also attempt to sing or whistle while showering as to greater create the sense that I am showering in a private space.
