ImprovEverywhere...

I have sent a few emails about this already but it is just too cool to keep away from the blogosphere.

Alot of people have already heard of these guys but in case you haven't: ImprovEverywhere is a group and a phenomenon it is spreading like wildfire across North America.

They do organized spontaneous things in public places. According to their website http://improveverywhere.com/, they "have completed 80 missions of joy and chaos, involving thousands of undercover agents, since they have started." The group is based in New York City but there are a bunch of chapters springing up in other cities.

Last weekend ImprovEverywhere in Ottawa carried out a Guerilla Freeze (which is in my opinion one of the coolest acts):

But they also do spontaneous musicals:

Anyways, I just think it is really cool what these people are doing. I'm going to be participating in next months activity here in Ottawa, whatever it may be. If you want to brighten your day, maybe you can join one, (or dareisay start your own) in your locations.
