Milestone
Hey guys- we just broke the 500 member mark! We're becoming a force to be reckoned with, but don't worry; we're not going to build a compound and live in a commune.
I've noticed a lot more diversity in the newer members as well- seniors, parents, and young kids. Hope to see some of you newbies at next week's "social experiment" called Carotene Creativity.
Frozen Food at Quincy Market
It was pretty cold in Boston February 23rd, 2008. Freezing even, when 60-70 people met near the bandstand at Government Center.

RECAP:
On Tuesday, April 1st, 2008 nearly 20 improveratti showed up at 5:15pm in Harvard Square under the threat of rain with homemade signs and the opinion people should keep their opinions to themselves.
In our April Fool's performance we would be portraying the radical members of a fake political action committee called Citizens Against Protests, Rallies, & Expression; That's C.A.P.E.R. for short. Get it?! Caper!

South Station Dominoes
Not feeling like reading the full recap of the event? Skip to the bottom for a link to the abridged video :-)
On 3/29/08 at 4:45pm nearly 50 improveratti showed up with suitcases at a green near South Station- a green we lovingly refer to as Cigarette Grass Park due to the number of cigarette butts overtaking the number of blades of grass.

Riding the T is a Beach: The Boston Society of Spontaneity's Winter Luau
Riding the T is a Beach!
Sunday March 16th was a blisteringly hot 39 degrees Fahrenheit when around 25 brave improveratti showed up in shorts and beach gear (many had changed back into normal clothes by the time the following group photo was taken) at Long Wharf for further instructions. Some had on sun glasses to help supplement the heavy clouds blocking the cruel winter sun. One member even wore an inner tube type floaty toy around her waste should she find any refreshing water to dip in to that wasn't frozen over.
