Five-Minute Time Freeze at Grand Central Station

It is produced by Improve Everywhere, a performance group around Charlie Todd. The slogan of the group is "We Cause Scenes". The group carried out over 70 missions so far.
Call-In shows getting more and more ridiculous

surprise
responsibility
humor
creativity
guts
respect
charisma
vision
calm
and
love.
First paragliding attempts
Last Weekend I had my first flight with a paraglider and it was great. I definitely will do that more often from now on. We did an intro course, which was about 3 hours in total. All this actually started as a birthday present for Matthes, where I decided to join in.
