I know this happens in London about once a year, but the clips show TONS of people all involved, and everyone expects it.

Recently stumbled across a group doing it in Grand Central in New York, and it was a shocker to everyone around, I so badly want to be involved in one of these:

haha that's so cool. I'd have a hard time standing still for in the exact position for 5 minutes like that, I'd be hard pressed not to laugh, especially if someone got in front of me and looked at me all wtf?? hehe

Oh totally, I would be all over an opportunity to at least be involved in something like this locally. I'd hate to try to orchestrate it, though, I wouldn't know where to begin (other than on MSU campus). This would be better started by a college troup in my area...

...hm... maybe I should find some names of the drama clubs in the area and give 'em a little suggestion-ring. :)

ach... do it in the middle of borealis...

of course.. the pvp'ers would get snippy because you were 'lagging' their town

but it'd still be funny... middle of a show.. and half the town stops...

now.. just a matter of finding a nice 'freeze' tune

I don't know, doing that at DragonCon could prove dangerous. People would end up trampled by the milling crowd if they just stopped in their tracks. lol

Thats pretty clever Ceryn, doing it in AO. *grin*

How creepy would that be? a hundred peeps just standing there for a while, then moving some place else and freezing. *laughs*

Peeps could get the cue from the DJ (and by keeping an eye on those around in case of stream lag)

Nah, it'd never really go over in AO. "aww, damn AFK people lagging out my zone." Or, as the borealis pvpers locals might say, "lolz m bw iz dng!!!!!rofl1" (I can't make out anything those people say to me. I swear, they don't speak any real language I know.)

The freeze was set up by Improv Everywhere (google it). I have signed up to the local Seattle chapter. ;)

Yeah, I looked it up as well, I'm officially in love with these cats. Need to find a chapter in my area.

I keep rewatching that freeze, it's just too much awesome. :)
