I am patiently biding my time until some country — almost assuredly ours, though Brazil might beat us to the punch — makes it illegal to participate in a flash mob. I’m not some vocal champion of the flash mobbing movement by any stretch… I live in Cary, the closest thing we have to flash mobs is the freakish tank-top brigade gatherings at the local Target every weekend.
I’m thinking of having my own flash mob… actually, what the hell. Here are the details. This may spoil the whole “instant” ambiance, but hey, turnout should be awesome.
Everyone meet at the Southpoint Mall in front of The Apple Store this Saturday, August 23rd 2003 at 3:15PM. Gather closely and begin vigorously striking body-building poses while singing (?) the lyrics to Chewbacca by Supernova from the Clerks soundtrack. At precisely 9:15PM, everyone shuffles nonchalantly away, humming the theme to Shaft.
Damn, I have goosebumps.
Sounds great, but I have one question; what’s a flash mob?
Oh, and the Southpoint Mall is really far. Can we do it in Massachusetts instead?
Here’s something for ya’:
Don’t you have PowerPoint presentations to wrangle or something?
Actually, the tank-top brigade gathers at the Wal-Mart over on Tryon Rd. They share time there with the MulletMob.
