If Owen Wilson was to comment on Melbourne's newest event, we're guessing he'd offer up a simple answer: "wow." That's actually just what thousands of folks seemingly want to hear — and say. In fact, celebrating the way the Zoolander star utters that one word is what this gathering is all about.

Following in the footsteps of last year's 'Scream like Goku' sessions, some particularly keen Wilson fans have conjured up their own version: 'Say Wow like Owen Wilson'. Set to take place on from 6pm on February 26 at Melbourne's Federation Square, it's exactly what it sounds like. People will come together, pretend they're in The Royal Tenenbaums, Wedding Crashers or whichever of his flicks takes their fancy, and unleash their best wow-uttering impersonation.

Saying one particular word like a famous actor — it's so hot right now, apparently. Or, it's just something different to do on your way home from work on Monday evening, we guess? Either way, the get-together will include warm-up wows, the main event — that is, a massive group wow — and kick-on wows afterwards. It'll also be livestreamed, for anyone who can't get there, doesn't live in Melbourne or simply needs to see it for themselves.
