10 Minute Freeze - Arcadia mall

11 people doing a long freeze in the Westfield Santa Anita mall (Arcadia, CA). A report of the whole experience is linked below...read on.

Inspired from Improv Everywhere's "Frozen Grand Central" video, as well as GuerilLA.

It was only planned to be 5 minutes, but no one was looking at their watch. : /

Join an Improv Everywhere group in your area! http://improveverywhere.ning.com/groups :) Hahaha...I sound like an advertisement. But seriously, it's fun. ^_^ They do more than just freezes, also. For examples, watch Improv Everywhere's YouTube videos. Oh, and if you're in the LA area, email la.agent.a@gmail.com to be on the announcement list for future events.

A long report of the mission that I wrote...link below.
It's pretty long, so if you just want to read about the funny stuff that happened, skip the first three paragraphs and just read the last three. If you're trying to organize a freeze yourself, I recommend you read the whole thing because it has tips and stuff you may not have thought about that needs to be discussed beforehand. Anyway, I wrote it because it's just a thing people do in Improv Everywhere. The person who organizes a mission always does a long write-up about it to tell everyone who couldn't make it how it went. :)
YouTube won't let me paste the whole thing here because it's too long, so here's the link...

@someonebored123 you can organize it with a group of friends or something, and you all come together. the people who aren't freezing are not in the group and do not know what is happening
