Flashmob London

I read about Flashmobs and thought what a crazy but brilliant idea. A Flashmob is where an apparently inexplicable mob of people gather for a few minutes, something occurs and then they disperse.

The participants, who don't know each other and have never met before, get instructions on where to meet and when they are there they then get a further set of detailed instructions for the mob event, start time, place, precept, actions, dialog, end time. and thats it. You don't meet up afterwards you just leave and go your separate way. Imagine getting instructions to go to Picadilly Circus and at 18:11 hold a shoe in the air above your head until 18:17. You go - everything looks normal and you think that you are going to look like a right idiot and then suddenly loads of people just stop and hold a shoe up in the air. That's a flash mob!

The first London Mob is to be on the 7th August and I can't wait to take part.

Watch this space for further developments!
