Flashmob

[trevius]

Anche Warren Ellis, noto scrittore di fumetti (Authority, Transmetropolitan, Wolverine) anglosassone riporta del prossimo Flash Mob inglese nella sua ML il testo che segue:

[BAD SIGNAL]London Flash Mob, Aug 7

I'm going to test out my mobile equipment and attempt to
moblog this as it happens: a flash mob in central London
on Thursday August 7th.

* ...by 6:17pm based on your star sign you should have already located
yourselves in the following bars and/or pubs. Buy a drink, act casual
and don't stare too much at the Fruit machine!

Aries, Libra, Taurus, Scorpio.
Fitzrovia Pub, 18 Goodge St, keep an eye on the Fruit Machine.
(Corner of Goodge St and Whitfield St, W1)

Gemini, Sagittarius, Cancer, Capricorn.
Carpenters Arms, 68 Whitfield St, look out for the Fruit Machine.
(Corner of Howland St and Whitfield St, W1)

Leo, Aquarius, Virgo, Pisces.
Rising Sun, 46 Tottenham Court Road, W1, do we need to tell you
about the Fruit Machine thing by now?
(Corner of Tottenham Court Road and Windmill St)


* At about this time a MOB rep will make themselves known,
appear and pass out further instructions. Read the instructions
carefully and then hide the piece of paper about your person so
that it can not be seen.

* The instructions will provide the destination of the MOB site,
and you should arrive there no earlier than 6:30pm and no later
than 6:30pm. If you are early, stall, if you are late hurry! although
no one will need to rush.

* The instructions will contain everything you need to know. Most
importantly the time to leave the MOB site by is 6:40pm. The
dispersal is just as important to the success of this MOB as is the
arrival. Everyone should leave as quickly and orderly as they can
and truly disperse.

I have to take off straight afterwards, to quickly write it up and then
meet some friends for drinks by 7.30 or so. But if you're going
to be there, drop me a note.

Lo sapevo, lo sapevo che eravate voi!!!!
Ho ascoltato la notizia alla radio mentre ero in vacanza al mare, seduta comodamente in un chiosco-ristorante al margine della spiaggia e mi sono detta: "non possono che essere loro, peccato esserselo perso!!!".
Grande l'idea, ottima scelta, luogo, orario, e soprattutto, ma davvero piu' di 300 persone???
Non avrei mai detto questo numero, complimenti!

E infatti, ribadisco, eravamo attorno al centinaio, non di piu'

Trevius: ho letto del mob inglese, e' stata una figata, non eccessivamente originale, ma una figata

A quanto pare anche il mitico Doonesbury si diverte con i MOB...:

Perche' il papa' mi ricorda Bill Gates?

Nooooo... Mike Doonesbury è nato anni prima che billgheits sapesse di esserlo. credo che la striscia sia nata nel 1972, e ovviamente Mike c'è stato da subito, insieme ad altri pilastri come BD, Boopsie, il mitico Duke, Zonker...
