Yay! MP3 experiment was a ton of fun. thanks to improv everywhere. loved the tetris concept.

This was absolutely fantastic fun. I was one of the first ones down as I was disarmed (de-balooned) right at the beginning of the EPIC BATTLE, but I got to do a fantastic death scene. Thanks for organizing this. I am a convert and will take part in everything you guys do in the future!

GO Blue and Green!

Hi! Great fun even if it was a little drizzly!

Did anyone pick up a pair of headphones? I lost mine during the ‘Epic
Battle’ They’re Sony, black, in ear. If anyone found them please let me
know!

An awesome time was had by all! The weather wasn’t a factor in the least (even though my butt is a little damp from the end) and it was a great time. Looking forward to the next event. Will that be the next pantsless subway ride or should we expect one before then? Thanks to all, especially the hard working IE staff!

I had a lot of fun with this, but I felt that there wasn’t a lot to do. We spun our umbrellas for a long time, did equilateral triangles for a while, and too much stop and jump. There could’ve been a lot more fit into an hour!

Also, I think that Governor’s Island might’ve been a bad location. There were only like 2 pedestrians other than security. When I do weird things in public, I want people WATCHING.

My last gripe is not towards the Improv Everywhere administrators, but the participants. I felt that there were more people who pressed play late than on time. I hope that in future MP3 Experiments, people can time there watches better.

Of course, these are only the bad parts I mentioned. The whole experience was truly fun and Governor’s Island was beautiful. I guess I just expected another No Pants 2K8, so I was a bit disappointed. I can’t wait till next mission!

I had a ton of fun at my second MP3 experiment event (my last one was III, I unfortunately wasn’t around for four). Though it was slightly disappointing to see that there were barely any people on the island that weren’t part of the experiment, I still had an exceedingly awesome time.
Acting my own grisly death was my favorite part… except you people kept stepping on my artistically splayed hair. I suspect the red and yellows… they play /dirty/.
Blue and green forever, dudes.

Thanks Improv Everywhere!!! I had a blast!!

That was fun on a bun. For the human squares, my friends and I (all are 6 Feet plus) were with a person who was 5 feet tall at most. And the boat ride was tons of fun too. I started the “improv everywhere” chant at the end of the ride, and 2 waves. Looking forward to next year! Go Port!

Thanks for the balloon, girl in the green mushroom = something shirt!!

Had a fabulous time at my 3rd IE event (and 2nd MP3 experiment!).

Met up with James from BostonSOS (who I originally met at MP3 4) and some of his friends before the event and spent a couple hours wandering the island (strange baby farm is still creeping me out, more so than Tyra Banks). And picking up Elle (I’m SO sorry if I spelled that wrong) as we wandered the island pre-event definitely added to the day.

I will second the thought that it would have been a bit more awesome if there were more non-participants around though, especially for the beginning.

My lasting memory from this, though, will be how I got punched in the face during the epic battle (an overzealous red-or-yellow-shirt swung their balloon and missed, pretty badly, into my lip), having my glasses FLY off my face and having to scoop them up before someone crushed them! But, you know, other than the bloody lip, it was an awesome time!

I had a blast today. I’d like to apologize for falling on that guy’s face when I died during the epic battle. I feel really bad about it. Hopefully you came away with nothing more than a headache.

PORT SIDE!!!

I had a BLAST today! Governors island was truly a great place to stage this event! PORT SIDE!!!!!!!!

Amazing time :)

just wished it was at a more populated area.

PORT SIDE!

waiting for pictures anxiously!!!

This was the first time I’ve been able to attend an improve everywhere. Thank you for a fun day. I agree that the weather was a factor in less spectators.

The miniature golf on the island was fun to play and a good place to start the improve.

I was disappointed in the number of participants that helped pick up all the balloon litter.

So which way was it to Nicaragua?

Thank you for free fun in NYC.

Blue and Green forever, mostly green tho.

Kristen H, that was me! Cyber High five! Also, ya’ll go on facebook and search “Port/Starboard” and you’ll find a plesent suprise! It’s the with (for at least green/blues) a very framiliar view on it… {My head is dead center in that, in the blue shirt}

PORT SIDE RULES/Red-and-yellow 4life. D: That was probably the most fun thing I’ve ever done, and I feel I owe a debt of thanks to my yellow allies, especially the guy who dragged me up from the brink of death screaming “YOU CAN STILL FIGHT!” Thank you, you-can-still-fight guy.

So, next year needs to come faster. Also, I agree with the person saying we need to do chants on the SI ferry. D:

Port Side for life!

Also, I just used google maps so next time I’m at Governor’s Island I can point to Nicaragua.

Now if only I could get “Rainbow Connection” out of my head.

That was really fun, especially since my friend’s idea for the umbrellas and the humming was used for this MP3 Experiment. Super fun guys. Minus the very brutal EPIC BATTLE scenario where when I died I was still pulverized with balloons. Those relentless Blues and Greens.

Kristen: D: Every weekend? >>; I go to school in the city, so I have to take it daily, I don’t think they’d notice us. Ever ride the ferry on the day of a big parade? same concept, just we’d do it on the way there and on the way back. D: No big deal, right? We’re from Staten Island, everyone thinks we’re batty, anyway.

True haha, I was on it last St Patty’s Day and people were going crazy. There was a point in time last summer when I was on it every day. Hopefully I will soon be employed and that’ll be true again hah.

Love the pictures.

This was so good. I was the one in a dark blue hoodie with clunky DJ-ish headphones with the boy in the light blue striped shirt. My boyfriend and I were a bit late in the beginning (I think I might have synched up his watch a minute off ;P ) and then his cd player stopped playing so I spent the whole little chasing thing trying to catch that up while sharing the MP3 player I had.

It was amazingly fun! I kind of do agree with the lack of people, but I think that it was still fun, and that’s what’s mostly important.
Tetris was actually kind of tough. The blue group I was in didn’t do so well making a good tetris shape…we had a circle.

Anyways it was lots of fun and the Epic Battle was great! I also loved the moustache disguise. Even the waiting to get on the ferry was fun. Sadly I was on the top part of the boat so I couldn’t really hear what people were chanting down below. ;P

BLUE/GREEN FTW.

I had a great time!! I was the one with the blue shirt that had stars on it. At some point I was on top of my friends shoulders calling out people’s names to find them.
I came with a whole bunch of people and then we scattered away from each other when it came close to the play time. We eventually found ourselves though.

I had a great time, especially with the epic battle! That was so funny. Gotta do this again! :)

Thanks for another awesome mission!

-Agent Nadi

I had a great time, even if it was rainy and not that many people not doing the experiment were there. I definitely want to do this again and be involved in more Improv Everywhere events!

I was the girl in a red shirt with pink hair that carried around a bag with a friend for people to put the balloon bits they picked up in.

I had so much fun! Thank you Steve!

I’ve got a few photos on my flickr.

LET’S GO STARBOARD!

It was so much fun, I wish there was like a cap gun or a direction to tap in time 20sec in the syncing directions before we all hit play. Just a thought…? Then we could have done a longer cool down at the end, BTW great script you guys! lots of fun!

It was so epically to much fun (JK)!

I totally agree with everyone, wish there were more innocent bystanders to preform for, No matter… I’ll be a blip in the mass for you guys anytime!

I also was happy to see that everyone picked up after themselves that was a great closer!

“Human twister was crazy! This poor yellow guy got hoarded by people trying to touch his elbow!”

:) I was one of many of those yellow guys. Would’ve fallen down if it weren’t so crowded (Help! I’m up and can’t fall down!).

I have to give props to Agent Sokoler for getting a picture of my brother and I hugging at the end (its the first time I’ve seen him in what seems like eons) thank you soooo much for that picture!!!

my first mp3 experiment/ improv everywhere event and it totally rocked my socks!! the epic battle was epic indeed! and i also enjoyed the “defender/ attacker” sequence!

sign me up for the next event, whatever that may be! i’m hooked!

ps- port side rules! WE GOT THE BEAR!!

PS- Red and Yellow rule!!!

Hey there fellow MP3-ers!!

Great success (minus the lack of bystanders)

Pete, I was the guy in yellow trying to pull you up saying “You can still fight”. DEATH TO RED AND BLUE!
We should seriously think about having a red+yellow vs. blue+green reenactment! I was way too into that battle… http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3259/2894507676_0cd1613889.jpg?v=0

Thanks to the everyone for joining in on my “Left-Side”/”Portside” chant and the girl on the starboard side who rallied her side into joining.
Whoever the guy was who took over with the chants and led us in a round of the “Gilligan’s Island” theme… you rule man!

This was definitely the high point of my week! I’ve wanted to MP3 Experiment for years, it was so great to finally participate. All the weather-wussies really missed out. What a blast!!

Our tram driver Alfredo asked if we were from St. John’s U… must have been all the red shirts (of course, no one enlightened him).

Because everyone in the fort rushed the security guard for high-fives, I found an old friend I hadn’t seen for years who beat me at thumb-wrestling (Hi, Seth!).

Just before the epic battle began, I was unexpectedly disarmed and plunged through the southern battalion screaming, “My weapon! Stop my weapon, I’ve lost my weapon!” as the wind carried it away overhead. Special thanks to all the blue & green soldiers who halted its cowardly retreat so I could fight the good fight!

It was really cool how people cleaned up the field afterward. (If anyone found a ladybug umbrella, please post a comment, I’m sure the girl who lost it would like it back.)

Can’t wait for my third mission! Hope my sister in Chicago has this much fun, it’ll be her first!

Thanks to Yahoo, I have a purple souvenir to make me smile on future rainy days. Praise Steve, IE rules!

Lots of fun. Thanks for a great time IE.

To the tall man with black hair and glasses in the red hoodie, sorry sharing my ipod was such a disaster!

Just wanted to say to the guy who fell on my face, its alright. You have to expect the worst in epic battles. I thought the worst was being beaten by a group of red shirts after I was already dead and on the ground, but you showed me that was not so. I had an awesome time, and the face pain was only for a short while. Still, I had a blast, and I will be there again willing to put my face on the line for another great time.

This was my first Improv Everywhere anything but it won’t be the last.

Only complaint for me was that my bright, bright yellow soccer jersey (go brazil) kept attracting bees.

Favorite part (I) – Finding my sister (a blue shirt) during the Epicness and “killing” her.

Favorite part (II)- Being the yellow shirt in human twister. I felt so needed.

I Had a blast.

Agent jubilee, that was me (guy in green shirt) and you’re welcome xD.

During the epic battle, I don’t see why nobody grabbed the 1up (my shirt).

It was fun but my only gripes… I didn’t have a watch so I couldn’t get it on time. Also I lost my pink glowstick =*( One more thing, my friend wore boots with heels because I thought it was gonna rain bad, and it didn’t.. And she was in pain the whole time.

And hello rude bear, we got a pic of ya after the ferry ride. You hugged my the asian girl er my friend. I got a pic on fb!

I didn’t think I’d ever see the day I’d get classified as “hipster” hehe. Thanks to everyone who sang on the equally awesome SECOND BOAT. (yeah, lets get some second boat love up in here!)

My little bro couldn’t make it to the city so he sat in his room and hit play the same time we did.

Also, anyone else insanely jealous of the adorable little boy in the blue shirt. I would have LOVED to do this as a little kid thus, parents of the blue shirted child. you rock.

@Charlie:

“I’m not sure I know what the term “hipster” means anymore. People love to use it to describe IE participants. But, really?”

Then let’s redefine it!

What was this mp3 thingy?

i couldnt go to this, because i was going to NYAF the same day.
TURNS OUT, i couldnt go to NYAF.

so i didnt get to go to this either. T.T
IM SO MAD NOW.
hopefully ill get to come back up for one of your other missions soon :)
