Flashcrowds in Manhattan

New Yorkers are putting together ad-hoc flashcrowds, using email, arranging for thousands of individuals to converge on a place at a preset time and milling about and then melting away after a few minutes.

You are invited to take part in MOB, the project that
creates an inexplicable mob of people in New York City
for ten minutes or less. Please forward this to other
people you know who might like to join.

At the very least, please forward this to all those to
whom you sent the invitation for MOB #1, because
someone seems to have gotten the wrong impression
about the MOB. I am thinking, in particular, of
whoever saw it necessary to tell the store and/or the
police department about MOB #1, causing SIX POLICE
OFFICERS AND A PADDYWAGON to be sent out to disrupt
it. Let us call this person "Squealy."
