Improv Everywhere- PDX No Pants 2k8 on Saturday

Looking at the Improv Everywhere website

The most interesting thing here is the Comments following the performances are delighted and wistful, begging the "group" to "come" perform in their city. What never occurrs to the majority of the posters is they are the group. They only need to activate themselves.

Then again, I wouldn't be surprised if Portland invented this urban performance art to begin with.
Keep Portland Weird!

Turns out it's harder than it looks to be in a movie.
