A friend of ours here Annette told us about this group called Improv Everywhere that was coming to Chicago last Sunday. If you click on their name it will take you to their website. Basically, they are an improv group of comedians that want to help people in the world have a little fun. They post what city they are going to be in, when, where you need to show up and any specifics that you need to bring with you. If you look at their website you can see the Chicago post. They will make a video of the day in a few weeks, so I will post that when it comes up, but we just saw today that they put some pictures up.
We met two other friends in Lincoln Park, strapped Norah in the Bjorn and joined the craziness! We had to wear either green, red, blue or a yellow t-shirt, download a track to our Mp3 player, bring a balloon and and umbrella. That's all we knew. You were not supposed to listen to the Mp3 track until everyone starts listening to it at the exact same time and they instruct you on what to do. It was so fun!!! Regardless of the rain, we had a great time. There were probably three hundred people that showed up! We are pretty sure we will make the video because of Norah! People were so excited about seeing her participating and she loved it!!! She was kicking and flailing all over the place. The main guy from Improv Everywhere was in the crowd and we saw him several times. I think he even high-fived Norah at some point. I know this probably does not make a lot of sense, but look at their website. I highly recommend watching the "Frozen Grand Central" video!!!!
Anyways, I hope you enjoy it. I downloaded some pictures that we were in. Oh, I forgot to mention that they have a camera filming it all from above in an helicopter and then a few crews on the ground.
You can see us in the front line there. We were getting ready for a balloon battle in a huge field. I am holding the orange balloon and have Norah strapped to the front of me! To my right is our friend Annette, Josh and holding the red umbrella is our other friend Lisa.
Here we are marching! I stayed behind and quickly cut to the right to get out of the crowd with Norah! I have never had lots of luck with big crowds and getting trampled so I decided to save Norah from the fate as well!
If you look down to the bottom right corner you can see our fearless leader getting ready for the charge!! ;)

I just watched the "Frozen Grand Central" and that was awesome. I can't wait to see the video of Chicago! Sounds like it was a lot of fun.
