Announcement: TIWWWBprov Everywhere
If you haven't Improv Everywhere check it out. Anwyays that got to me thinking, could we incorporate that sort of gonzo approach into are efforts (to say The Iraq War was wrong repeatedly and incessantly until everyone everwhere concedes The Iraq War was wrong).
Yes we can. I call it TIWWWBprov Everywhere.
So I took of the afternoon today and got a shake and tried to figure out what we can do. Here's my idea for are first mission:
Mission 1: Train Full Of The Iraq War Was Wrong
The idea is so simple it's ingenious. It's to takes place in New York City like all the best Improv Everywhere stunts on account of, they seem to have the best Improvers there.
On the specified day, Friday May 9th, at 7:10 a.m. in the morning, our interpid TIWWWBprov Everywherers will board (or arrange to have boarded beforehand at an earlier stop), say, the Uptown 6 (local) train at the 86th Street station. Once aboard, each Player will either stare straight ahead and sit/stand silently, or look down at an open book they are holding in their hands as if reading, occasionally turning the page. (Books optional).
At Grand Central/42nd Street (or, say, 23rd, depending on where they need to go ect) a few minutes later, the TIWWWBprov Everywhere Players will then get off the very same train, exit the station, and go their separate ways, not having said a word the whole time, with no one's the wiser. IMPORTANT: DURING THE MISSION, DON'T LET ON TO ANYONE WHAT'S GOING ON. If anyone asks, you're just a commuter going to his job as a COO at some bank or wahtever.
But once the mission's over, if approached (by reporter's or whoever) we say we did it because The Iraq War was wrong. Just like that: "Because The Iraq War was wrong".
Folk's I can already tell this is going to be a classic. I've talked to Jim about it already and he's promised to get up there from Charlottesville to video the whole thign. (Sorry I can't be there for this one/prior engagement). Anyways LET'S DO IT people.
Reason I'm so exited you ask is because this is frankly one of the best idea's I've had in a long time.
UPDATE (5/9) Just got of the chat with Jim and he says it was AWSOME! THe way it went down and the way he describe's it. Just wow. I'm amazed too because I thought I screwed it up by typoing that you guy's should use Uptown instead of Downtown. But Jim says there was literadely HUNDRED'S of people on the Train Of Wrong so I guess you figured it out. See, that's why I have some of THE BEST blog readers going. Anyways he got it all on tape and it sounds helarious, I'll try to figure out how to post the video when i get it.
