This past Saturday Improv Everywhere held their sixth MP3 Experiment on Roosevelt Island (just a few days after Charlie Todd's book on the troupe hit stores). There's not much info yet on what exactly went down, but it appears there were inflatable weapons, primary colors, confused residents, synchronized fun and much more (get the mp3 that soundtracked the day here). Katie Sokoler was there to document the whole thing, and IE promises some video in the future.

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?

The MP3 Experiment is back for its 5th consecutive year. Rain or shine, it's going down in NYC this Saturday, and here's what you need to do: download the New York MP3 from the website, put it on your portable music playing device (you are even invited to kick it old school by burning the MP3 onto a CD and listen via a Discman), do not listen to the MP3 until Saturday (confession: we totally listened), wear a t-shirt in an Improv Everywhere-approved color (red, blue, yellow or green), bring an umbrella and uninflated balloon, head to Governor's Island, and press "play" at the correct time. Phew, that's it. The visual outcome will likely be a bit more dramatic this year if umbrellas are involved--especially if a bird's eye view time lapse is being done again.
