High Five Escalator

Improv Everywhere recently posted a new mission called High Five Escalator, which I was honored to be a part of. The idea was to communicate something positive in a series of signs along the super long escalators at the 53rd St. E/V station during the morning commute. We brainstormed a lot of ideas (including rhyming couplets a la Burma Shave) but in the end settled on straight up high fivin'! It was super excellent times, especially for Rob who gave about 2000 high fives in 45 minutes. Epic!
I made the signs! (Do you recognize that font? It's Futura Bold!)
The (fantastic) video, tons of photos, and scores of germophobic comments are all available on the Improv Everywhere High Five Escalator write-up.
