Improv Everywhere struck Union Square with an elaborate and stirring performance/mission in the windows of Designer Shoe Warehouse, Filene's Basement, and Forever 21 to the south of Union Square. It seems like you need 61 undercover agents, plus copious notes on what to do in the assigned windows. All of them danced, did jumping jacks, some held up letters to read "Look Up More," causing a stir in Union Square Park and encouraging people to look up more and wonder if they could get their acts together to do something like this, and then they dispersed. If the future of flash mobs is organized improv performances, how can the world be a bad place? We recommend you read the Improv Everywhere account, which includes clues as to how store employees felt ("You know, I may be white. But white people are crazy.").

I wish I was there to see this! I bet it was fun putting it all together.
God, I wished I lived in NYC! This sounds like so much fun and it's something I'd would definitely like to take part in. DC is so boring!
Thanks to a friend of mine we stood out in the cold and cought this. There was some lady going into the subway behind that that was pretty freaked out by all the people in black standing in the windows. Boo to the DSW people for kicking them out.
