Flash Mobs

Do you have flash mobs in your city? This new social phenomenon awsome!

Just in case you don't know what they are. Most cities have their own flash mobs. It's basically a website that periodically posts details about a place to show up to and a certain activity to engage in. For example you'd login in the morning and it'd say, go to the clock tower in blah blah street at 11am sharp and pull on a ski mask and start dancing.

Then you show up there at 11 and you see like a whole mob of people suddenly apearing in ski masks, dancing all over the place. Then everyone disperses as quickly as they came.

This gets really funny sometimes. If you enjoy random sh*t I suggest you try this. Most big cities have flash mobs so you shouldn't have trouble finding one. This is good fun, trust me!

Here's an example

Picture this, in a busy part of town, 120 people, each wearing one yellow dish-washing glove and pointing at the sky.

Or you're standing in the street and suddenly everyone around you starts doing this. How f*cking random is that?!!

I've never heard of this phenomenon, but it sounds rather interesting so I'll have to look up more information about it.

Also, your signature is much appreciated.

Yeah my friends have participated in a few in Chicago.

It's pretty fun, except there aren't too many hot girls doing it.

[Sarcasm]

Actually everyone travels by themselves everywhere, the group phenomenon is no where to be seen in Israel...

[/Sarcasm]

Anyhow, there are sporadic subway parties in Toronto.. a bunch of people get on the train during the morning commute and just start playing music and dancing. I heard quite a few people went to the last one (summertime sometime if I remember correctly).
