A guy sees a random person’s name written about negatively in graffiti and tracks her down on Facebook to deliver the bad news. It’s a pretty hilarious exchange that’s worth the short read.

Street With a View is a project by Robin Hewlett and Ben Kinsley where they staged elaborately awesome scenes for the Google Street View cameras. The tiny one-way street Sampsonia Way was transformed into a place alive with energy, complete with marathon, marching band, and a 17th century sword fight. The results were captured by the Street View team (who worked with the artists to coordinate the shoot.) Explore the street for yourself:
Here’s a nice making of video:
There will be an Mp3 Experiment in Berlin tomorrow! Improv Everywhere is traveling to Berlin to take part in the InterFilm festival. They’ll be screening videos tonight and then tomorrow hosting an Mp3 Experiment.
Full details on The Mp3 Experiment Berlin.
GuerilLA, the Improv Everywhere-offshoot in Los Angeles, recently put up their newest mission, Aerial Philanthropy. The group threw dollar bill airplanes off of a parking deck in Los Angeles by the ArcLight Theatre. You’ll notice Skylar Stone randomly happened to catch one of the bills.

A group called NPC Crew in Trieste, Italy recently staged their own version of Improv Everywhere’s Human Mirror, calling it the “first human mirror in Europe.” Rather than sit on the subway, the twins walked around town and then sat in chairs facing each other in a public square. Pretty impressive to wrangle that many twins in a city of only 200,000 people. Cool!
Here’s Improv Everywhere’s Human Mirror:
We’ve been tipped off to a top secret event happening on the streets on New York next week. The organizers (who include the Yes Men, the Anti-Advertising Agency, and others) aren’t giving much away, but if you’re praying for an Obama win today then this will be up your alley (no matter who wins.)
ExFilms, a group of filmmakers in San Diego, sent us their awesome new prank:
Little Timmy is our four foot tall dummy all dressed up in his halloween costume holding a bag of candy. Armed with a couple of hidden cameras and a wireless microphone we set off to pull pranks in the neighborhood with our fake kid trick or treating.
Reminds us of The Golden Ass.
Last week we told you about the Ghost Dance happening in Boston. Judging by the video above it looks like it was a blast!
Banditos Misteriosos writes:
Dozens of ghosts of all ages converge upon Boston’s Columbus Park to dance up a Halloween storm.
Participants were asked to bring a sheet, an mp3 player with a prerecorded song, press play all at once, and dance away! To outside observers, our ghosts were merely dancing in silence, the music only being heard through the earphones of participants.
We just got notice of a Sarah Palin gathering happening tonight in Union Square in NYC:
