There is a lot of stuff going on the City, and we can't write about it all. Here are some interesting things some of our friends have written up lately.

Improv Everywhere's Heartwarming Holiday Stunt Displayed Massive Handwritten Greeting Cards in Real Time

Comedy group Improv Everywhere recently pulled off a great heartwarming holiday stunt in which they setup a booth in Manhattan's Big Screen Plaza where people could instantly write real greeting cards to each other. The catch is that as they wrote the cards, a special sensor read and displayed their handwritten message on a giant screen above the plaza.

For our latest mission, we created a custom-built set that allowed random New Yorkers to instantly deliver a card and light up someone’s holiday. Participants were surprised as Christmas lights lit up the plaza and their message was displayed on a 30-foot wide screen above. This project is a collaboration with Hallmark, who provided us with an assortment of Hallmark Signature Cards for the project.

Check out the full recap for more on the event, and to see behind-the-scenes photos and videos of how it was all setup.
