Invisible Dogs

Yesterday we had another Improv Everywhere event!
Charlie, the founder of Improv Everywhere, met someone who had access to over 2,000 invisible dog leashes.

They were passed out to thousands of people who then walked their invisible dogs around the neighborhood.

Kids in Cobble Hill were so excited and wanted to pet them all!

There were dog walkers,

bad dogs that needed to be separated because they were fighting,

dogs that weren't allowed in restaurants and had to sit outside,

big dogs pulling little kids,

nice people who cleaned up after their dogs,

confused real dogs,

dogs that chased after bikes,

fluffy dogs,

and even a dog that some how got stuck in the fence!

It made a lot of people in Cobble Hill laugh.

At one point I was able to put my camera down and take my dog for a walk. Of course all it wanted to do was roll around in the garbage!

Subway Yearbook

For our latest Improv Everywhere mission, we set up a photo studio in a random subway car and announced that we were taking subway yearbook photos!

The subway became pretty packed at one point,

but it was all full of smiles!

People on the train were more than happy to pose for our yearbook.

This woman was looking in our mirror to make sure her hair looked nice for the photo.

Even a newborn baby was in it!

It was exciting to put all the photos together to see how diverse the New York subway riders are.


It was so nice to see everyone on the train laughing and having fun rather than ignoring each other like usual. It was the kind of moment that made me walk away with those tingly little butterflies in my stomach.

Park(ing) Day

Yesterday was Park(ing) day! The lovely day where people can transform parking spaces all over the city into whatever they want.

There were tents,

Yoga classes,

Silly dance parties,

and giant ball pits!

Strangers on the street were invited to jump in and swim around.

It was a nice day in NYC so I just had to take a dip. It was my first swim of the summer!

MattAdamsApple

Have I ever told you how awesome Matty's website is?

It feels just like a scrapbook.

It's full of fun videos, commercials, and audio clips ( Matty has a very unique voice so he does voice overs for cartoons! )

funny drawings he made when he was a kid,

silly pictures,

sweet videos of his parents in their 20's,

Improv Everywhere videos he's shot and edited,

and even a Katie page! The collage in the background is full of items from my childhood. Ahhh, the memories!

Desktop fun

Since I've been working on my laptop all week,

I thought I'd make my desktop a more fun place to be by changing all the icons in my dock to pictures!

I can't help but smile every time I click on my friend Helen blowing bubbles, Matty on the swings, and Moo reaching out for a hug.

For all of you Mac lovers, I made a quick set of instructions on how to make your own fun icons. Click the image to see it larger.

I'm very thankful for tasty donuts and Moo for keeping me company all week while I edit. It would be very lonely without them!

How has your week been? Any exciting or silly stories? I'd love to hear!

Shapes

It's always lovely to spot a shape in the clouds.

 ( I totally see a whale! ) 

Instead of looking up to find shapes, I thought it would be even more fun to look down.  So I grabbed some colorful tape and went looking for shapes on the street. 

I found a TV in the dirt,

a mouse in the grass,

and a kite in the cracks!
