Message of the Day

***Calendar*** (Message Asterisk to add your event)
May 28th: Abercrombe Flash Dance went off, but was chased out by security after a little while. 120 seconds of event is better than 0 seconds, I guess!

June 11, Thursday. We've heard word of a "Singing Flash Mob @ Union Square, 06:00 PM - 06:05 PM"

Tribute to Michael Jackson: Flash Mob Thriller Dance!

Anyone with me? The King of Pop has passed and I think in his honor we need a Flash Mob all doing the Thriller dance. Union Square or Ferry Building on a Saturday or Sunday? If enough people are down I'll set up some rehersal times. If you're IN let me know when you're availalble. C'Mon ya'll we owe it to the Man! I think July 11 or 12. This weekend is too soon and next is the 4th.

AIR RAID!

Every Tuesday at 12 Noon, San Francisco tests its citywide Outdoor Warning System (also known as an Air Raid Siren or Victory Siren): http://www.sfgov.org/site/mainpages_page.asp?id=30332

Lets all start gathering in Union Square on Tuesday 6/30/09 at 11:50ish and when the siren goes off at 12, everyone scream, panic "OMG, we're gonna die!" "I knew this day would come!" "They're here!" etc and DUCK AND COVER... then when it's

The Game (You Just Lost it!) : EyeFREEZE Tag

How do you play it: You need to make direct contact with someone's eyes and tag them as you look into their eyes. The way in which you tag does not matter as long as you look into their eyes.

We have two teams, the smaller team, the taggers try to tag all the people who are not taggers and if they are tagged they're frozen on the spot. The people who aren't taggers have to RUN THE HELL AWAY WITHOUT LEAVING THE GAME AREA. If you'…

Hammer Pants Dance or something like it?

Random chreographed dance always makes me smile.
Any dancers/energetic people out there want to learn and perform a choreographed dance routine?
Some possible locations:
Union Square
The corner of Market and Powell
In a Muni/Bart station
??

Rob! (SF version)

One of my favorite Improv Everywhere missions is the Rob! mission (if you haven't heard of it, the link is http://improveverywhere.com/2006/08/30/rob!/ )

Basically, a group goes to a big sporting event, and one person, wearing distinctive clothes, goes to get food/drink at some point and gets continually lost on purpose. they then wander all over the stadium, and the goal is to get as many sections as possible shouting their name and tryi…

How to start a dance party

This is a video posted by Ze Frank, who I consider a benevolent master of crowd psychology. As you see, the video starts with one deviant dancing wildly at a concert. I use the word deviant in a statistical sense, not in a moralistic sense.

After seeing the lone dancer, others slowly join in (perhaps conspirators?), and at some point between five and seven dancers, the crowd's inhibitions collapse and a spontaneous dance frenzy erupts.

The crowd effect is a powerful tool in the prankster's ars…

2009 World Naked Bike Ride

Wanted to let everyone know about the World Naked Bike Ride coming up in San Francisco on Sat June 13th.

I've gone the last couple years and it's SUPER fun. We ride all over the city naked, making sure to hit many of the touristy areas. You get a lot of people laughing, smiling, and saying "oh,…

Movin' On Up

We all dress as classic, comic book style hobos: potato sack dresses, bandana bindles on sticks, shoes split open at the toes, socks with a hole for the big toe, rope belts, fingerless gloves (a la Red Skeleton) and shopping at an upscale store like Neiman-Marcus. The hobos would shop for clothes, until thrown out, of course.
