[arg_discuss] Fw: Urban Prankster

[John Evans]

Improv Everywhere, whom some of you might have heard of, just started
a new website chronicling urban events called "Urban Prankster". Well,
you can read about it for yourselves; I figured I'd mention it here
since the site description talks about "pranks, hacks, participatory
art, flash mobs, and other creative endeavors that take place in
public places in cities across the world". Hmmmm...

>Over the last six months we’ve seen a massive spread of urban creativity in cities across the

>world. We’ve been covering the global trend here on Improv Everywhere, focusing on groups that

>formed on our Improv Everywhere Global network. It’s been awesome to see groups recreating our

>past missions and coming up with new ideas of their own. With missions happening in other cities

>on an almost weekly basis, we decided it was time to create a new site to celebrate this work.

>ImprovEverywhere.com will return to focusing on our work here in New York, and all documentation

>of other groups will move to Urban Prankster.

>

>In addition to Improv Everywhere style events, we’ll also be covering other forms of art and

>comedy in the public space and posting announcements about upcoming events seeking participants.

>

>We’ve got a handful of posts already up on the site, and plan to add new content on a regular

>basis. So give the site a test run, and sign up for the Urban Prankster RSS feed to stay updated.
