Portland, Oregon Saturday, December 19, 2009 Portland Improv, a social experiment and performing arts group known to push the limits on the social norm, hosted their latest event, dubbed, Winter Warm Up, at the Pioneer Place Mall at 1 PM. At 1PM, 10 shoppers (actual professional singers) started the event out, beginning the song Let it snow. Hundreds of additional shoppers (both amateur and professional singers) then joined in.After that everyone sang Jingle Bells, then simply dissipated into the rest of the crowd, leaving no explanation.KGW (Channel 8) "Winter Warm Up" news coverage:facebook.com/video/video.php?v=240925730902&ref=mfPortland Improv is a collective mainly comprised of college students who like to provoke joy and create scenes in public places. Winter Warm Up was Portland Improvs seventh event in Portland, the most famous of which being the Portland Freeze. The group coordinated over 1,500 participants and had them all strike a pose and hold it for 5 minutes within the Pioneer Courthouse Square to literally freeze time. Recently, the Portland Freeze became an annual event and was replicated again alongside the Portland Rose Festival inside their Waterfront Village with even greater surprise and mayhem among bystanders (1,000 participants).Portland Improv group page:facebook.com/group.php?gid=32201544195&ref=tsJoin!Portland ImprovJosh Enobakhare (josh@pdximprov)Corbin Wescott (corbin@pdximprov.com)Tiffany Gilly (tiffany@pdximprov.com)

Dec 25, 2011 - As much as I like the concept, I find the secular 'cheesy' Christmas songs to be a scourge of the season. But thanks for listening.

Allina277 Says:
Jan 11, 2012 - I don't either, it's obviously a new york thing. I think they couldn't make it as singers, so they get on everyones nerves and annoy the shit out of people trying to eat and socialize with their long lost siblings in public place, mainly mall food courts.

Apr 22, 2012 - what's with the name calling? He pointed something out, what's wrong with that? Not like he said "stupid white ppl, always longing for attention/approval hidden behind the act of spreading joy" or something along those lines. If he said something like that, THEN what you said in response would be proper.
