What do you take with you to a Little League game? If you’re Improv Everywhere, you take a cheering section, a Jumbotron, some play-by-play announcers, and a blimp. It sent a bunch of unsuspecting ten-year-old players (and their parents) to baseball heaven. Read the particulars at Improv Everywhere. Link -via Metafilter

    The same group of people did a "Best Gig Ever" wherein they memorized all of the songs by a band and mobbed a nightclub performance of theirs in New York City. There is a YouTube link about it here:

    The whole event was featured in the first episode of the television version of This American Life with Ira Glass on Showtime. It's worth seeking out for a download if you like that sort of thing.

    I want to be part of this group so badly!!! Everything I've seen them do is absolute genius. Frozen Grand Central Station, Food Court Musical, all of them, totally awesome.

    I'm a huge fan of Improv Everywhere! I can't imagine the stories being told at school the next day! Where did they get the money for this mission? That had to cost a heck of a lot of money.

    Wow, I've been following this group for awhile now and their Missions have certainly grown in scale quite a bit!

    Hahahaha they always have the freshest ideas. The goodyear blimp was very surprising though.

    @DanO: I don't know, maybe some people like to do things that brighten other peoples' lives, while getting a small amount of enjoyment out of it themselves? Whacky concept, I know!

    I like Improv Everywhere's early stuff when it was small and just surreal. The later stuff (yes, as featured on This American Life) and this one are invasive, intrusive, and annoying.

    They're not entertaining everyone else as much as they are entertaining themselves. To do so, they (the organizers at least) take a view that their prank will obviously be fun for everyone. If you are a target and you don't have fun, then you didn't get the joke or you're just boring.

    If the kids enjoyed it, then great, I'm glad for them. But this doesn't make IE's pranks smart, funny, or entertaining if you're the target.
