Over the weekend the Improv Everywhere troupe was back for another MP3 Experiment extravaganza, this time taking place on Governor's Island. They estimate around "1.5 jabillion" were in attendance, and promise some video in the coming weeks. What we do know: the MP3 included both music and instructions (listen), a bear (or Furry) was in attendance, and balloons were somehow involved. Were you there?

How about spending the time doing something productive. Like shopping for new clothes (no urban outfitters doesnt count)

I was there, though I am decidedly not a hipster. Not as many hipsters as I expected either. It was a fun time, but would have been more fun if it were a little more public. It was pretty much just us on the island, so some of the novelty of past MP3 experiments/IE missions (i.e. strange looks from non-participants) was missing.

I liked the MP3 experiment better when it wasn't produced in association with Yahoo!®.

since when is organized fun hipster-esque? lighten up you little quack.

the chick in the middle with the green shirt and purple balloon looks like she supports Obama.

Grumble grumble I hate fun! What a bunch of old cranks you guys are. We hate art, music and silliness!

Hispters don't do these sort of things usually, they're too busy rolling their eyes at them. From my observations it's usually yuppie types who own apple products and have little imagination that attend these sort of dumb events.

Or to put it more succinctly, "norms" who think they're doing something wild and outlandish.

Haha...I just said norms.

Rude Bear: Any relation to Pedobear?

Aw, lighten up, people.

I was there, and I had a blast! Hipster or yuppie or neither one, it was all done in great fun.

At this point, IE could commit itself to handing out hot meals to starving homeless children, and I'd still condemn it as hipster nonsense. They've been shrill, annoying aren't-we-so-in-your-face-and-cool brats for far too long to make up for it now.

I have fond dreams of beetles eating flesh from the faces of every one of IE's members.
