Have you been involved in or seen a Flash Mob Event, and / or how do you feel about them?

Asked by babaji (1448points) March 2nd, 2010

Recently saw what appeared to be a Spontaneous appearing of a thousand people taking over an intersection and having a pillow fight in San Francisco. These perfectly planned events seem to be hilarious to say the least but leave a lot of feathers behind sometimes. Have you ever seen one, or been in the middle of one?

Sheep.
The responsible thing would have been to clean up their own mess instead of sticking the taxpayers with the cleanup cost.
And don’t get me started on the SF no pants day.

If there was one planned around here, I’d be there in a minute.

WE DO THIS ALL THE TIME IN DC!
National pillow fight day is April 3.
And I will be there.
@Captain_Fantasy In DC, we clean up our own mess. We show up, hit each other and then leave like we were never there.

I’ve also participated in zombie gatherings, spontaneous raves and both of the snowball fights in DC you know… the crazy cop incident? I did miss no-pants-subway ride this year, though. That upset me. Last year was great.
I love being a part of harmless chaos.

Good for those who act responsibly.
That wasn’t the case in my town but hipster irresponsibility is a big theme in SF.
They may as well call Bay to Breakers “10,000 drunk naked people urinating on your doorstep”.

OK this might be a little immature of me, but that does sound fun.

I was in a pillow fight mob last year here in Austin. Great fun, and you cannot beat the looks on people’s faces!

@escapedone7, nothing wrong with a little innocent immaturity.

There was a flash mob at some International mall where about 50 girls broke out into dance to Britney Spears “3” in the middle of the mall court. They walked away like nothing happened. Somehow though I think that was marketing because her single collection CD dropped a week later lol
