Balloon Flashmob: “Improv Everywhere” MP3 Experiment | SoMa

Submitted by the Event Organizer

Improv Everywhere’s MP3 Experiment returns to San Francisco for the first time in two years for a participatory public event at The Esplanade at Yerba Buena Gardens at 1 pm on Tuesday, November 19, 2013.

Download an MP3 file to your phone and then head out to Yerba Buena Gardes and blend in with others. At the predetermined time, everyone presses play. Hilarity ensues as participants carry out ridiculous, coordinated instructions delivered to their headphones via narrator “Steve” and everyone else tries to figure out what the hell is going on.
