What’s a Flash Mob?

So I was just invited to my first Flash Mob. Unfortunately it’s Saturday night in Dublin.

A flash mob is a group of people meeting in a public place to do something unusual. For example, I was invited to meet outside a pub and draw a circle on my hand. Usually it starts with a call to action via social networking tools – Facebook, Twitter, email, whatever. So I’m looking for a fun flash mob gig in the Twin Cities. I don’t know if the Twin Cities just isn’t as cool as Dublin or maybe I’m not so cool in the Twin Cities.

Have a great weekend! Ann

    Ann, I have actually been thinking about Web 2.0 and “events” like flash mobs as civic engagement in addition to being performance art. Check out this article http://www.ppionline.org/ppi_ci.cfm?knlgAreaID=115&subsecID=172&contentID=252209

    . . . and by the way, you are cool no matter where you are.
