Flash mobs

I wish I lived in NYC. What a quirky idea!

“Flash mobs,” in which people show up at an assigned place at a certain time, perform some brief acts, and then leave, have descended on stores, a hotel and even a piece of a park in New York.

In the latest occurrence, about 200 people converged on a Central Park ridge across from the Museum of Natural History on Thursday. Once in place, the mob tweeted like birds and crowed like roosters, chanted “Na-ture,” and then dispersed.

If you’re wondering what’s the point, there isn’t one…

    There was a flash mob in Portland on Tuesday. It was covered by KGW on the 11:00 news. (I guess it’s not a spontaneous thing.)
