Portland Freeze ’09, I Did It!

I’ve watched different Improv Everywhere videos over the years all over the web. Things like freezes in Grand Central and musical theater in a food court. These all look like a lot of fun so when I found out Portland Improv was doing a freeze I wanted to go participate.

I grabbed my camera, my Flip video and headed to Pioneer Square to find out where our secret mission location was (it stays top secret so we can really surprise the folks wherever it is). As soon as I got there I learned we would be heading down to the Rose Festival Waterfront Village for our big freeze. The freeze would begin at 7:07PM and last for 7 minutes. We needed to pick our pose before hand so we could instantly freeze when the horn sounded.

This video is a little intro from me and then my entire 7 minute freeze. I had turned on my Flip video prior to start and held it in a way that would show a little background activity. If you manage to stick with the whole video you’ll see some funny people in the background “checking it out”.

You’ll also want to listen closely to the different things people say about all of us “frozen”.

Thank you Portland Improv for a fun night! I can’t wait to see what is next.

    I'm glad they did it for seven minutes this time! Five seemed so short last year.

    I should have guessed you'd have a camera AND your flip in hand. LOL. ;)

      The seven minutes actually seemed to go by pretty quickly (except for the burning in my right foot as I squatted on it).

      We need to plan a tweetup around the next freeze or whatever Portland Improv does! That would be fun!

    I love Rose Festival and you did pretty darn good… I do not think I could do it… sitting so still I only saw once where you had to take a deep breath that you really moved… nice job…. so do you use one of those bendable leg tripods for your flip… glad you had a great time at the Portland Improv Freeze and hope you played a little at the Carnival of Rose Festival… days like today I miss the Portland Vancouver area.

      Thanks Thesa. I actually held my Flip cam in my hand the whole time. Holding still that long was tough but a lot of fun! Next time I won't crouch like that.

    [...] So, everyone is on Facebook now, right? Well, it appears that everyone is. Yes, I’ve been on Facebook for quite a long time and have really enjoyed reconnecting with old classmates, friends I’d lost touch with and co-workers from previous jobs. I’ve also met whole new groups of people through the social aspects of it. Whether at a meetup of people I know where other people come that I can meet, or maybe something fun like the Portland Freeze 2009. [...]
