Frozen Grand Central
March 9th, 2008Some of you may have already seen this. Actually, 7.9 million of you may have already seen it. That’s how many views on YouTube there already are of Frozen Grand Central. So I’m WAY late in the game posting this. But I figure I should, since I’ve gotten tons of inquiries - from co-workers to neighbors - asking if that was indeed me in that video. Yes it was indeed me. I show up at about the 1:30 mark. Look closely.
As someone who has a severe case of restless body syndrome, it was tough to stay frozen for five minutes. What made it even tougher was hearing all of the reactions from the innocent bystanders. As you can hear, people either thought it was some sort of protest OR an elaborate exercise for an acting class. But either way I think we pulled it off nicely.
Hats off to Charlie Todd the creator of Improv Everywhere for putting together the amazing prank. Charlie was nice enough to make me an officer for IE’s Facebook Group. So sign up to be a member of it! Or else I’ll track you down! And trust me, I will find you! Where are you? You must be sitting in the upper deck of Yankee Stadium, right? That’s where I’m going to look for you right now. I should go this way, right? Yeah, this seems right. I’ll just keep going. I’ll find you if it’s the last thing I do!
