Smart Mobs

Smart mobs, a bunch of wise guys. I had heard about these groups a year or two back. I was told about Improv Everywhere, a group that performs theses flash mobs and freeze mobs. They have been spotted all over the world doing dances or "pausing" real life. There isn't much of a purpose other than for entertainment for this group. However, these massive groups as a whole can be very persuasive and very powerful. Jaw dropping numbers showing up randomly at places can have an incredible effect on the event they are protesting.






Back home, a group of us almost got one of these organized. There was a farmers market downtown and we were all going to perform a dance or try the frozen approach, there were about 40 of us. But we got the dates wrong on the market, so we missed out. 
Oh well. Maybe next year?
