Not only is The Word Spy a cool site, but I am becoming obsessed with the idea of flash mobs. I want one. I want lots of them.
I’m not usually a fan of performance art or surrealism, but this strikes me as brilliant on several levels. It would be, I think, a fantastic exercise in information dissemination to get everyone to meet, a unifying experience in an increasingly disjointed world, and simply a spectacle to have that many anonymous and random people coming together all at once.
My mind is churning for ways to best organize one. If you have ideas, email me.
