Improv Everywhere!

There is a group called Improv Everywhere. This group does things that are incredibly random and hilarious. I first found them online when I was a freshman, and still had a little time to actually surf the web. The first "mission" I read about was when a group of 80 people dressed up in blue polo shirts and khaki pants, just like the employees of Best Buy. The group then slowly entered a Best Buy and watched what happened. The mission report can be found here. One of my favorite missions took place during a baseball game at Yankee Stadium where a guy named Rob "got lost" and couldn't find his seat. A lot of people in the stands got really into trying to help Rob get back to his seat, which he eventually found. Pictures and a full account can be found here.

Improv Everywhere's most recent mission involved giving high fives to people going from one subway to another up a huge escalator. This is a great way to change a routine part of thousands of peoples lives and give them something fun to do.

I think groups like this and activities like the high fives are things that are fairly rare in our world and can really make a difference in someones day. Ideas like this have not only made the Improv Everywhere group well known but also have a positive impact on the world around them, just like the products we make for our last project could.
