I hate hate hate that you want to inflict more ignorance on an already ignorant public. Spreading apocryphal nonsense like this is just plain STUPID. This. is. retarded.

I had just read and watched this whole Improv Everywhere mission a few nights before the concert. I was quite suspicious when Ben introduced Moby but it was lot of fun to be part of the joke anyway. ALthough I doubt you guys had anything to do with the concert I saw, Ben clearly had a great time with you guys and has developed a taste for trickery!

The had someone dress up as a homeless guy sit in the middle of the SECC (concert hall in glasgow) main foyer and busk while playing "Wild Thing". I think there were even a few people threw him a few pennies while he was there. Anyway, everyone went into the main theatre, watched the opening act and then waited for the FLC to come on stage. Lo and behold, on walks the guy from the foyer, small amp and electric guitar in tow, and he proceeds to play "Wild Thing" in the middle of the stage, complete with huge gestures and dance moves. After getting through the song he was then chased off the stage by security. Why am I mentioning this? Not because I think you copied, but rather to mention that it was one of the most entertaining gigs I've been to, and one that I'll probably never forget. It's great to see other people are having the pleasure of such an experience, and I'm sure that those who were watching will remember this gig for a long time to come :) Thought you’d be interested to know, the Fun Lovin’ Criminals did something similar to the first one when they were in Glasgow a few years back.

You only fooled me in the very beginning, but it's only because I'm a musician and very familiar with Ben's work. I thought it was some funny intro Ben had going on the tour. It's only now, over a year later when I read about your cease and desist christmas card from bestbuy on slashdot, that I visited your site, learned of the missions, and that I was inadvertently a part of one. Keep up the good work, and I'd love to attend one sometime. I'll be checking back regularly. Oh man, I was at that show and thought that intro was absolutely hilarious.
