GuerilLA Freezes at 3rd St. Promenade*
There's a massive world freeze planned for April 1st and since Los Angeles has recently gone abuzz with unexpected events that cause "chaos and joy," a new local group inspired by the East Coast Improv Everywhere has already gone out and accomplished some missions, including this above video from February 23rd at Santa Monica's Third Street Promenade.
The local group, who recently dubbed themselves as GuerilLA seems to have begun after Improv Everywhere flew out and pulled off a Hot Dog on a Stick musical at the Baldwin Hills Mall. Other events of a random nature and organized by people unrelated to GuerilLA put together a Mobile Clubbing party at Hollywood and Highland and a large pillow fight at Pershing Square.
Also: Over the weekend, Improv Everywhere uploaded the MP3 music (orchestral + piano versions) and lyrics to the Hot Dog on a Stick "Food Court Musical" so others can do themselves in malls around the world.
