Improv Everywhere: Best Game Ever

In an earlier blog entry, I posted a video of a Food Court Musical that was "staged" by a group called Improv Everywhere and this morning I checked out their site and they have a new stunt posted called "The Best Game Ever". For this "mission", they turned a little league game into a major league event! They worked with the commissioner of the Hermosa Beach Little League in California and got the names, nicknames, numbers and batting order for both the teams. In a normal game, the stands are empty with the families and friends of the players sitting in lawn chairs to the side of the field. So, in this video, everyone in the stands (And beyond!) are "in" on the stunt.

Watch the video and see what Improv Everywhere managed to accomplish... And be sure to watch the faces of the kids and their families as the mission progresses......



If you want to know more, head over to the Improv Everywhere website and read about how they managed to turn that typical little league game into a major league event.

A Food Court Musical?

Ok, my usual surfing around this morning took me to a site that gave me a giggle. The website is called "Improv Everwhere" and they do some very "interesting" things in unexpected places. I saw a video by them the other day where they had a bunch of people (would you believe about 200 people?) freeze in place in Grand Central Station in New York City. The reactions (and non-reactions) of the rest of the crowds of people was pretty interesting to watch. When I saw that video, I didn't know (or didn't pay attention) that they have a website and stage these events all over the place. This morning, I stumbled upon another video by the same people and checked out their website. The video at the top of their "home" page is the one below. Just watch... And laugh. Be sure to watch the faces of the patrons of the food court in this mall.



Did you watch it? Now, imagine what your reaction to something like this would be. I think I know how I would react. lol, It would be pretty much like the folks sitting at the tables enjoying their snacks or lunches. Amazement... lol

This group also did an "event" in a Starbucks... Imagine being in a Starbucks and seeing people falling asleep. lol
