Flash mobs are performance art projects involving large groups of people. Mobilized by e-mail, a mob suddenly materializes in a public place, acts out according to some loose instructions, and then melts away as quickly as it formed.

Thumbs up First Flash Mob

The first flash mob here was a disappointment.
Only 4 people showed up at Thursday July 31 2.00 pm jumping around like frogs.

Friday August 8th 7:17 pm
The second one was more of a succes.
Hundreds of people were taking photographs (flashing) of customers who came out the local grocery store.
Can you imagine those customers being surprised.

Meeting at Raoul's place.
Everyone bring a goat.

I don't know about these mobs.
People got to much free time these days.

Sounds stupid to me. What is the purpose of doing stuff like that? To make a fool of yourself? Because that is what they are doing.
