My First Improv Mission

Disappointed FatherRegistered User regular
Disappointed FatherRegistered User regular
So, last saturday, the 29th, I participated in a misson with the DC Defenestrators (who I found through Improv Everywhere Global.)
The mission was called "Famous For A Day", and consisted of tricking everyone on he national mall in to thinking that a regular guy was a celebrity. Here's a full write-up by the agent who organized it: http://brucewitzenburgcomedy.blogspot.com/2008/03/famous-for-day.html
I played one of the body guards (the one in the sun glasses, if you look at the pictures or videos) and it was very fun and exciting. DC Defenestrators is just getting started, and I'm hoping to participate in a lot more of this stuff in the future.
I haven't really gotten a chance to watch the video yet, there are a whole lot of them (on account of the fact that we had people playing fake Paparazzi) http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=%22famous+for+a+day%22+DC&search_type=
P.S. I went straight from the mission to the ball game between the Nats and the Os in the new Nationals' Park, which would have been awesome in and of itself, but I was also still wearing my suit. Watching baseball in a suit is also a lot of fun.

since when did you stop becoming a black

evander is the jew

holy crap, they make jews that big?
(he's not really jewish)
Cool
I want to make an Odyssey joke but I'm just not feeling it
I left my cane in the car, with our driver
This was actually a week and a half after my knee surgery when it went down. I didn't know whether or not I'd be up for it until that day, but it was so worth it.
I used the cane when I was at the ball game, though. That's how I guilted a lady in to letting me go in to the club seats area and take a look around.
Absolutely.
Unfortunately, we weren't able to get Peter in to the Washington Monument without a ticket (our stated goal) but the ranger in charge really wanted to let him in; his boss was just being a hard-ass about the rules, so it was a moral victory.

Ever see Israeli soldiers?
Jews only come in two sizes; tiny, or extra large.

Yeah, that was a thing that happened somewhere.
This was only our second mission ever in DC (and my first, obviously) so we are still fairly new, and all. The first mission was a freeze, which is one of the more common ones, it seems.
I chopped off the Hebro AGES ago.
Gotta look professional for the office, y'know?
I'll always have the pictures.
You know, when I met Khoo, he informed me that he'd seen photos of me in my underwear. Boy was THAT creepy.
You wish.
People photoshopped them constatly is what happened.
Much to my delight, of course.
I've never been actually black.
Just honorarally.
I think you may have just been confused by my official non-white status.
Harmless yet awesome.
Like those guys that acted out that exact time loop in that coffee shop where a bunch of people that didn't look like they knew each other kept repeating the same set of conversations and actions, over and over again until it freaked people out.
I made a TD for iphone and windows phone!
We aren't Improv Everywhere, we are just a group that is inspired by them.
IE encourage other folks to go out and do this stuff, on the condition that they don't use their name, so I am just clarifying.
We are the DC Defenestrators.
Salad isn't food.
And I only eat food.
Oh okay, I thought you were a branch of IE or somesuch, nevermind.
Naw. We stand for the same things as them, but they are not responsible for our actions.
You asked them to photoshop them constantly.
Not at all. I just ecouraged them to continue after they had already started.
Dude, I have done plenty of awful things in my day. You don't have to make up new shit; you could just mention the real stuff.
