CTW Members TomD Posted September 8, 2003 CTW Members Share Posted September 8, 2003 there was one in edinburgh just a couple of weeks ago and i just happened to be down in england that week. damn. from what i heard, they got everyone pointing at the sky and then asking people nearby afterwards "gosh, did you see that?! it was amazing?" etc etc, as if they'd missed something really important...

CTW Members Andrew Posted September 8, 2003 CTW Members Share Posted September 8, 2003 Call me Mr Cynical... but i can't help thinking this could all be organised by a guerilla advertising firm... as all the 'targets' I've heard of are big branded shops, hotels, etc who knows?

CTW Members alasdairm Posted September 8, 2003 Author CTW Members Share Posted September 8, 2003 perhaps that's true of specific flash mob happenings but it's not true of the entire phenomenon. alasdair Quote "I've got medication, honey.

This is an old one though... We used to do that as kids... We'd just point to the sky and say something like "Wow, look at that" - let a big group of people gather round, all looking, some pointing as well, then walk off leaving them all standing, looking and pointing. Bloody great fun.

CTW Members alasdairm Posted September 8, 2003 Author CTW Members Share Posted September 8, 2003 i think the scale has increased a recent flash mob in san francisco had 200 people dressed as santa converge on the lobby of a hotel downtown then just disappear. alasdair Quote "I've got medication, honey.
