I have wanted to participate in a flash mob since before they got popular. Those elaborately choreographed song and dance productions are cool and all but when I conjure up a mental picture of a flash mob in my mind I see three or four dozen people suddenly converging on a park for a spontaneous game of Red Rover. Call me old school in my preferences regarding group gatherings, but I like what I like.
Now if I had the energy and wherewithal to organize one of these things myself, this is how it would go down:
Anyone and everyone who has a feeding tube on the Peninsula in the Bay Area would be invited to meet at the Hillsdale Mall at a certain time on a certain day in a certain place for a mass feeding.
Umm. You know, this flash mob fantasy sounded about a thousand times cooler in my head as I was pre-writing this post. Yeah, sorry.
Add prior Press notification and it becomes an awareness event.
You might be on to something…
