Flash Mobs Take Manhattan
June 16th, 2003Our senior Manhattan correspondent David Danzig reports that New Yorkers are using e-mail to coordinate “inexplicable mobs” — huge crowds that materialize in public places and suddenly dissipate 10 minutes later.
Below I’ve pasted the e-mail announcement for the next mob, scheduled to take place Tuesday, June 17, 2003.
UPDATE: Be sure not to miss the photos of the event.

MOB #2
(Background.) Meeting up at Jack Dempsey’s: The rugs department at Macy’s, crowded around a $10,000 rug: On the way out, precisely at 7:37: Alas, some people missed the point and interviewed Macy’s employees about the proceedings. To them…
You have no right authority title or dominion, you are like sheep who have gone astray and you follow a “shepherd with a twisted crook”,as only some one with a twisted mind would concieve of something so intimidating & antisocial, you are (or you should be) responsible citizens, you are being used, dont fool yourself into thinking you are important, you will held accountable for actions if you continue to go “flash mobbing”, there is no excuse for your behaviour.You are being manipulated. Dont follow a loser.
YOU HAVE BEEN TOLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Right on! Go “twisted crook!” I don’t know what the hell that means but it sure sounds funny.
We promise not to follow any shepherd who doesn’t have either (a) a twisted crook, or (b) a crooked twist. Or perhaps (c) a wicked waddle.
I am organizing my flock of 300 flashmotors
to gather in their vehicles at the parking lot
of the Lombardi service area stop on the NJ tpke
Tuesday August 12, 2003. When the signal is given
the lead car, a 2002 white Toyota Camry, NY license 254-668 will hit the road on the NJ tpk
and get off at the exit for the GW Bridge. With
the other cars following, the cars will get onto
the upper level of the bridge. At the appropriate
time, all members of the flock will drive their
cars off the bridge like good little flashmobbers.
Any other flashretards that want to join are perfectly welcome.
Stay the fuck out of my state.
Stay out of your state, Sheepherder? But it’s such a difficult state to resist…
Damn; that means I’ll have to cancel my romantic New Jersey honeymoon. But so be it.

i think this is great 🙂 i saw the link on AOL..keep it up..with everything going on in the news today, this showa that everything is not meant to be taken so seriously all of the time..it’s okay to be a kid again 🙂
Whats next – A flash nudist mob. I would pay to see that.
Hey flashmob interesting. I just wanna play tag with a bunch of folks,lol, like that one nike commercial is this where flashmob came from? If so then all the powers that be that are against flashmob should turn their attention to Nike lol or just let it be besides our president is on vacation why cant we play duck duck goose lol are there any flashmobs in Chicago?
has this bizzare occurance ever taken place in denver? if not when it does i want to know, it sounds like fun.
I am curious? Does the individual in the flash mob think as an individual or as a part of the herd? Are you instintively motivated to participate or is there a selfish reason for being part of a social happening? This “new” way of expression has me both intrigued and delighted. I am motivated by music. Have any flash mobs been motivated by a chord or two?
1st Bern Flashmob
I just returned from the first Bern flashmob. Unfortunately the timing wasn’t perfect. Nevertheless, the number of people was quite high; I’d guess at least 40 or 50. They were a little bit hard to distinguish from normal tourists (although…

Relax, Don’t Do It
Did you see that CSI Miami tonight is about Flash Mobs? Maybe it’s because I’m a blogger, but Flash Mobs seem to be a blogger creation*, so I think it’s really cool that they’re on a television show as popular…
Could somebody please email me and tell me how to get with a mob?
