I must say, you guys are incredible and this is my favorite mission so far! I think the reason why this one appealed to me so much is because me and a couple of friends did something similar once in a 2-story McDonald's (I honestly can't remember where). There were ten of us, so we put five on the first floor and then the other five on the second. We spaced out around the perimeter, looking out at the busy street. We had a very simple choreographed dance routine and did it for about five minutes and were able to gather a somewhat large crowd down below, not to mention the hilarious reactions of some people eating behind us. My personal favorite was this table on the second floor (where I was stationed). There were two teenage boys (I'd say around 16 or 17) and their girlfriends. After we started to dance, one of the boys said "Look at the people on the street... they're pointing at the first floor, too. I bet there's more of these guys down there." So he gets up and goes downstairs, and a few seconds later he runs up and yells, "Holy s**t, guys, there is!" The other three got up and began to follow him downstairs (along with a few other curious customers) and as one of the girls walked by, I heard her say to the other: "This is f**king crazy... they have to be doing some kind of commercial or something." It's great to see something like that done on a much larger (and more choreographed) scale. I was definately entertained by this one... great job you guys, keep doing what you do!!

I was there! I saw you guys put up the signs and I even think I saw you standing next to that garbage can. I wanted to stay but my mother was in a complete state of apathy and dragged me down to the subway, unfortunately. I'm so glad that I found this website and now that I live in the city again I'm more than thrilled to participate in your next awe-inspiring act. ^-------------^ OMG! I was there!
