A huge thanks to the hundreds of agents who came out tonight to participate in our latest mission. The weather could not have been worse, and we can’t thank you guys enough for sticking with it in the rain and the cold. Agent Shafer will be working on the video footage very soon, so stay tuned. Tag your photos with “iebb” on Flickr, and post links in the comments. For now, here are a couple of shots of the meeting point from Agent Nicholson.
Unequivocally, I think I found a lot more fun in this mission that to be expected, due to weather and such.
Thanks to everyone that dared come out and get a little wet and cold – I’m sure it was fun!
damn you for originaly saying it was going to be on thursday and damn aol for not working till it was too late, i wanted to go :{
I gotta say – I was so excited to go, I brought my wife and my sister since we live in Jersey … and we tried to wait on the bridge but the wind was ridiculous, and if we stayed any longer I would have been looking at divorce papers. We finally walked off the bridge after 10 (maybe even 10:15) soaked to the bone.
I think it could have been awesome, if we could have had some better weather. Having said that – it could have been organized to be a little quicker in view of the weather (I know you probably had over 1000 people, so I understand) but I’m sorry I missed out on the actual photo taking. But, I won’t be getting divorced, so – all’s well I guess.
Wow! It was cold and wet, but it was still so amazing to be standing on the bridge and know that you were a part of something this big. I wish it had been better weather, but I met some people I probably wouldn’t have met if the weather had been nice (there’s nothing like having something to commiserate over together). It was a total blast!!!
This was my first mission. Even though it was wet and cold i still had a lot of fun. Shared a few laughs with complete strangers and took a bunch of pictures of the support cables of the Brooklyn bridge. All in all it was a great experience, can’t wait till the next mission. Thanks for the great time!
This was my first mission, and i must say, it was a blast! Even though there was horrible rain and wind, i met two amazing people, and we had great laughs! I cant wait until the next mission, and i hope i get to meet more amazing people!
-if there is a girly scream made by a teenage boy in the video, that would be my brother.-
I’m fairly upset that I couldn’t come do this. It would have been my first mission, and I had been looking forward to it since I got the email, but the second I asked my parents for permission I got the standard “no way”… Though my mom did say that if it was earlier in the day, I MIGHT have been able to go.
Maybe next time, I hope. I still have no idea what you guys did, though I’ve got an idea, and I can’t wait to see the footage!
you all are the bees knees!
Allyieh- I saw (and heard) him!
This was my first mission and it was great! I take it it worked?
Can’t wait for the next one!
This was my first mission with the crew, too! I don’t regret standing out there in the middle of the bridge, but I really do wish it had been today (Saturday), it’s beautiful out today. All in all, I’m glad I was there and can’t wait to see the video. Looking forward to the next one!
I lasted through the mission, but didn’t last very long at the pub. I was soaked to the bone! But I had a great time, can’t wait to see the video!
Man was it cold…but there’s no better bonding experience than huddling in a group on the brooklyn bridge trying to stay warm!

Horrible weather but a great time!
EVIL weather, but fun nonetheless!!
I honestly didn’t realize how pretty the flashes would look, since from my standpoint, all I saw was light.
But wow! That 2nd picture looks great, I can’t wait to see the video!
And it was funny watching Charlie run back and forth xD
Poor him….
I was there with my girlfriend and while she was huddling under her umbrella on the bridge, with wet and cold feet, I was hopping around near the manhattan side of the bridge in excitement.
we held out until the second round of photo waves went past, and then we joined the crowd on the way off the bridge.
My camera was sucky, hers wasn’t that wonderful either and we don’t have any “good” photoes, but we did have… wait, no… I did have a nice time, and she indulged me admirably.
Looking forward to more missions and the video of this one.
I was in a taxi on my way to this but my friend ditched me and I has to turn back to grand central. I was so upset it looked like fun bad weather or not. Oh well theres always next time for my first mission. hope you guys had fun, cant wait to see the video!
Oh man, SO cold!
Miserably cold and miserably windy and miserably miserable, but yet amazingly fun :D
Me and my friends were absolutely drenched. We stayed ’till the end, but by the time we got on the subway and evaluated our wetness, it was basically decided cold and wet was the new style…
Pretty fun though, made some friends with people whose first mission this was, they seemed to enjoy it :D
Wet but ended up loving it. Glad to participate.
Oh, check out my site if you want initial-then-retrospective summaries!
First mission and I went with 3 of my friends. Crazy as it was and miserable as the weather was we had a blast. I think if you can have fun doing this then you just have to accept you are the right person for this medium. MORE!
