Get Your Freeze On This Saturday At The Cable Car Turnaround

Prepare to freeze, San Francisco. This Saturday, Feb. 23rd at the Powell and Market Cable Car Turnaround, if everything goes as planned, at precisely 3:15 p.m. a group of loosely coordinated people will freeze in place in a flash-mob-esque version of the Improv Everywhere Frozen Grand Central event last month in NYC, where 207 people froze in place inside Grand Central Station for five minutes. Check the video here, in which confused tourists and staff wander around gawking at the temporary human statues.

But as Laughing Squid points out, the SF Freeze will attempt to stir up the routine a little by directing participants to freeze and then unfreeze, perhaps more than once, at the sound of what looks to be one of those annoying air horns. Sounds like a blast. For info email sffreeze@gmail.com.
