I read about a whole new trend from my blogger friend. It is called the flash mob. I had never heard of such a formation, and it is not as dangerous as the name might imply. Wikipedia, the online encyclopedia, defines a flash mob as a large group of people who assemble suddenly in a public place, perform an unusual action for a brief time, then quickly disperse. The Austin Flash Mob is a formal organization that exists in Austin, Texas to perform funny, harmless, semi- improvised, public gags that are intended to encourage the participants and spectators to engage in their own forms of creative and preferably strange spontaneity. They say their purpose is to keep Austin weird. You can check out their antics at Whole Foods Market here.
This was a new concept to me, but seeing it in action made me want to be part of a flash mob in Smalltown or Sea City. Imagine a flash mob posing in dance positions outside Smalltown City Hall. And the Sea City Aquarium might be the perfect place to get a flash mob together to perform aquatic motions on land. The possibilities are endless. Maybe we can make Sea City weird too. One can hope.
