It's especially important in the UK, particularly in London, where British culture enforces a resolute 'No Eye Contact' protocol among 'strangers' in public. In this way, the recent High Five intervention in NYC might have made a very different impact among the British who don't know how to do a High Five, much less negotiate the friendliness of a stranger making contact in public. My favourite one though was the spontaneous dancing at Liverpool Street. It was perfectly designed to appeal to the British love of eccentricity without imposing on personal dignity or demanding direct contact. I think this is the kind of event that helps Brits break out of their self-imposed public isolation and see the whimsical charm and delightfulness of their fellow passangers in train stations. It certainly made loads of people smile and laugh and dance a little on their way home. That's the very best we can hope for and the most meaningful aspect of art and IE. It keeps us human in the face of overwhelming urban indifference and reminds us all that the world is yet run by PEOPLE, live people, with humour and kindness. IE makes it easier to like each other, relax the fortress walls a bit and stand down the guar. If you need any help in London with your documentary, I'd be very keen to do whatever I can to support your project. I can be reached through my website, www.someoddpages.com or by email at someoddpages@yahoo.co.uk. All the best, Meg Green, London UK Hi, I’m a London agent and a huge fan of IE.

Andrew may be one of the youngest agents to participate on his own in a mission. He is the little kid that was interviewed after the "No Shirts" mission, after emerging out of Abercrombie & Fitch, was asked, "What did you find funny?" and his reply, "The Prices!" Mission "No Shirts" was the most fun because I got a lot of attention. I got the football after the mission was over. I still have it. The strangest thing happened to me at a mission - No Shirts - "A young saleslady walked up to me and said, "You're too young for this. Put your shirt on." She made me put my shirt back on. She said, "You have to put your shirt on or you have to leave." Agent Hurricane Andrew, aka Andrew Mitchell, resides in Hoboken, NJ.
