I was watching a flash mob video that a friend sent me today and began thinking about how cool it would be if someone would put one together at the park.  Think of the possibilities - patriotic songs during July, campy kids' songs during Kids Fest, the Turkey Tango during November...

I'd be all for it!!

You'd be just the person to set that up, Tiffany!

They used to have those all the time -- except they were skits on Main St., by the citizens.

KB: WOW! I took part in those end of the day round dances on Main Street as "Junior" in 1980 and 1981. So I took part in a "flash mob" event, years BEFORE cell phones, Internet, and home computer technology was widely available or used! COOOOOOOOOL!

In those days it wasn't like there was always a citizen in sight, but if you sat still for 15 minutes you were bound to see one passing by. The skits, though... you'd see a couple of citizens talking, then they would "announce" by calling out to another citizen across the way, getting everyone's attention, then BOOM there were a dozen characters from out of nowhere.

I loved it.

I remember those days!  Yeah, I guess SDC was the original "flash mob" location.  Those skits were so cool; if only they would start that again.
