UPDATE: See the article and video about this event.
The Improv-Everywhere-style freeze today at Berri-UQAM metro I told you about was a crazy success (much to my surprise). About 50-60 people showed up, then entered the metro station and gathered in the area around the puck on the mezzanine. For five minutes, they all stood frozen, quiet, as regular travellers passed them by.
There's talk on the Facebook page of organizing a second one some time in March, or perhaps other IE-inspired activities. I'll keep you updated, of course.
I'll have more to write (and show) about this later. In the meantime, here's the first video that's been uploaded showing what happened. In it, you can hear the loud, spontaneous applause that took place among participants just as the freeze came to an end.

this "warm-up" freeze and this photo gallery.
UPDATE: Journal de Montréal article
Not as good, but still not bad... They should tryit in a downtown "underground" mall.
