MP3 Experiment

Wednesday, November 9
Time: 5:00 p.m. – 6:00 p.m.
Location: Race Street Lawn
Price: Free 

Charlie Todd, the creator of the infamous prank group Improv Everywhere and well known Youtube Prankster, will be coming to Drexel University on Nov. 9 from 7 to 9 p.m. to run an MP3 experiment followed by a presentation of behind the scenes stories and a question and answer session. Todd’s visit and experiment mark Improv Everywhere’s first ever visit to Philadelphia.

The MP3 Experiment is a mass social game in which participants download a 45-minute MP3 file to their mobile devices, head out to the same public location, and blend in with the crowd. At a specific, predetermined time, participants press play and begin to carry out coordinated instructions delivered to their headphones via a narrator, “Steve.” Those uninvolved will surely watch in wonder of the spontaneous coordination of such a large group.

Participants should bring the MP3, a certain color shirt, and an uninflated balloon.

This event is part of CAB’s comedy week. Thanks to our co-sponsors: CAB, Westphal, PR Student Society, Drexel Marketing Association, Sigma Beta Rho Fraternity, mCenter, and Antoinette Westphall College of Media Arts and Design.
Free.
