London Flash Mob #1

I was there! What great fun that was!

I have written an article for Flashmob.co.uk about the event - please go and read it and make comment if you will!

There were a couple of TV crews so I may be on TV tommorow. There was meant to be a documentary team following me around but they didn't bother to ring me in time. Ah well thier loss!

Simon hi,
Fantastic stuff! I'll definitely get involved :)

Do you want to extend the fun to Russia? I'm sure Russians will be absolutely thrilled!

Can you give me a short telephone interview for the BBC Russian service and website? You don't have to use your real name if you don't want to. And if will only take 10 minutes max - on the phone anywhere you like.
(but it has to be today and soon)

thanks
perhaps I'll see you at the next event :)

Hi Simon. It's another journalist! Hoorah! I was wondering whether I might be able to meet you / speak to you about flashmobbing either today (friday 8th august) or tomorrow (saturday 9th august) for a piece we are doing for this weekend's Sunday Telegraph.
My numbers are 0207 538 7409 or 07967 735 917.

thank you.

any plans for another flash mob in london? i've been reading about them around the world, and im gutted i missed your 'event' last week.

if you have any plans, is there any way i can help out? letting potential flash-mobbers know? publicising it? (of course while actually keeping it a secret).

looking forward to getting into some london flash-mobbing.

A bit late. This site was the target of our first virtual flash mob!

A blog is a frequent, chronological publication of personal thoughts and Web links.
A flash mob is a large group of people who gather in a usually predetermined location, perform some brief action, and then quickly disperse.
Flash blogging is the new black.

First off, this is hardly random spam.

Okay, here's what I did to obtain your e-mail address. First, I pulled up the Advanced Search option of the Google search engine. Then, I entered "flash mob" in the "with all the words" field. After choosing "20 results", I then clicked on "Google search". Before I sent anybody this courriel, I examined each website to ascertain whether there was an invitation of any sort. By invitation, I mean phrases such as "I welcome comments" and other like remarks.

In a sense, you passed the test. And that is why you've received this missive. In the event you received one previously, this one comes with new information.

For the sake of quick review, a 28-year-old female aide was found dead in the congressional district office of former Representative Joe Scarborough, currently an MSNBC luminary. The official inquiry into death of the aide, a Mrs Lori Klausutis, left some details open to further investigation. In the earlier note, I mentioned that those details nag at me, A Alexander Stella.

What's more, I'm far from being the only one. There are dozens of websites that are devoting space to this curious happenstance.

So, for the sake of justice for Lori Klausutis, I'm asking recipients such as yourself to consider employing the phenomenon of flash mobs. If you would like like more details, you're certainly invited to click on the following hyperlink:

flash mob for Lori

thanking you in advance for your time in reading this appeal,

warm regards

A Alexander "Bogey" Stella

Oh, swell, likely enough, you'll have to click on my name, ah, the one by the date.

Hi Simon. This may seem a little odd so late after the event but I'm currently putting together a documentary proposal on flash mobs and their social relevance and wondered if I could speak to you about your experience. If you wouldn't mind giving me an email I'll let you know more about what I'm doing.
