Flashmob!!!!

Flashmobs are flashing up everywhere.  100 Single Ladies stop traffic with Beyonce's famous leggy dance in Piccadilly Circus, to celebrate the announcement by Trident of its free Beyonce gig in November. Nice... (concert details: http://www.tridentunwrapped.co.uk/Pages/homeflash.aspx#/home)

#1. What the ** is a flashmob?
"A flash mob (or flashmob[1]) is a large group of people who assemble suddenly in a public place, perform an unusual action for a brief time, then quickly disperse. The term flash mob is generally applied only to gatherings organized via telecommunications, social media, viral emails. The term is generally not applied to events organized by public relations firms or as publicity stunts."
Thank You Wikipedia.

July 8, 2009 to commemorate our dear and late Michael, there was a flash mob dance tribute in Sweden.


More than 200 dancers were performing their version of "Do Re Mi", in the Central Station of Antwerp. With just 2 rehearsals they created this amazing stunt!

Don't worry they aren't all dancing.

Here is a crazy one where someone sent an e-mail around to get people to freeze in a grocery store for four minutes in their hometown:


SO RANDOM... Flash mobs also have pillow fights, dance parties, in London they had a silent disco in 2006 at various underground stations where people showed up with their own ipod/headphones and danced the night away. It's truly amazing to me how many people will get involved and how random it is. It is totally self organized. If you hear about a flashmob in your city... come on you have to join in.
