Hey Austin

So - a flash mob is: describes a group of people who assemble suddenly in a public place, do something unusual for a brief period of time, then casually walk away.
(according to wikipedia)


What it looks like:

1.You make suggestions on the tribe postings
2. Based on popularity, myself (with help) will choose which one to do
3. a date, time, location will be chosen.
4. you receive a text message with instructions on where, when and what
5. FLASH MOB!

This could be... a pillow fight on Tuesday at 3 pm at x intersection for 5 minutes.
sample: youtube.com/watch?v=JgKR7fEAryE

Or one I've done in the past - all of a sudden 25 people walking down the street start singing and hand motions for "I'm a little teapot"

Just put in "flash mob" into youtube for more examples.

The point is to do something ridiculous for a short period of time - something out of the ordinary. AND you don't go and stand around organizing - you just show up - do it - and casually walk away!

TO RECEIVE TEXTS PLEASE:
