Incredible. Improv Everywhere is great! Most of those people did an amazing job of holding difficult poses. Five minutes seems like a long time to stand like that.

Brilliant indeed. I wish we had a BART station big enough to pull this off as well.

Wow. So good. Good to see them documenting their stuff well too. The documenting aspect is something we arty weirdos here in SF could stand to do better.
