“High Five Escalator”, the latest mission by Improv Everywhere.

For our latest mission, Agent Lathan gave out 2,000 high fives by standing next to a subway escalator during the morning rush. Five additional agents spread out along the adjacent stairs, holding signs that prepared commuters for the upcoming high five fun.

when i read “2,000 high fives” i assumed it was over a period of, like, a month or so. i don’t know how i could be so silly, i live in nyc and there’s no way it could have taken longer than 45 minutes! haha.
