Beskrivelse
This is going to be really fun- you will not want to miss out on it.
Full Ammo Improv and SOMA are getting as many people as possible to download the same 35 minute long mp3 and put it on their iPod/portable music player. Everyone will meet at the same place and push play at the exact same time, listening to the mp3 through their headphones. The Mp3 is basically 35 minutes of instructions; everyone will follow along and play a bunch of games that are recorded on the Mp3.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:
-------------------------------------------
So what exactly is this? I still don't understand...
If you’re unfamiliar with how The Mp3 Experiment works, check out this video of one done in NYC by Improv Everywhere, the group that invented the Mp3 Experiment: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Lgvx_TYlzo
-------------------------------------------
How will we know when to start?
You will have synchronized your watch or cell phone clock to the clock on the website listed above. Start right at 4:00:00 PM.
-------------------------------------------
Do I have to have an iPod?
No. The event is designed for folks who own an iPod or similar portable mp3 player, but those of you with portable CD players can participate as well. Simply download the track and burn it to a CD. Don’t have a burner? Ask a friend to burn it for you.
-------------------------------------------
I can’t find the track on my iPod. Where is it?
The artist and album are both listed as “Mp3 Experiment”.
-------------------------------------------
Should I listen to the track beforehand?
No.
-------------------------------------------
Can I listen to the track beforehand?
You really shouldn’t. Sure, there’s nothing we can do to stop you, but to really get the full experience of the event, you shouldn’t listen to it. It will spoil most of the fun. We know it’s hard to resist. Be strong.
-------------------------------------------
What if I get to the event late?
You’d be in serious trouble. Plan to be early!
-------------------------------------------
What if I don’t press play at exactly the right time?
That’s OK. We’re counting on everyone’s tracks being slightly off. Different mp3 players have different response speeds. It will be fun to see participants who are clearly ahead or behind. If you are significantly off, feel free to glance at a neighbor’s iPod and try to sync back up to the correct time.
-------------------------------------------
What if I accidentally hit a button on my player during the experiment that stops the track?
We recommend turning on the “hold” button on your player after pressing play to prevent this from happening.
-------------------------------------------
What if my player crashes or the batteries die during the experiment?
In the unfortunate event that this happens to you, we recommend you pretend like nothing is wrong and just go with the flow. There’s really no way to fix it, so why not have as much fun as you can anyway?
-------------------------------------------
Can I take photos or video?
Please don't; it won't be as much fun for you if you are trying to take pictures instead of have fun with the mp3.
-------------------------------------------
I have another question that hasn’t been answered!
You can ask it by leaving a comment on this event's page.
Cya then!
