Flash mobs!

From Wired: "Flash mobs," which are mobs organized for the purpose of performance art, are becoming the new thing. Wired talks to organizers of these flash mobs, including Rob Zazueta:

'There's a real desire for something like this out there,' he said. 'Community has always been a big buzzword in the Web space, and I think the smart mob concept helps to bring the virtual community into real space. No matter how good our devices become at allowing us to communicate, I think we're always going to need some real face time with folks.'

They've been staged in such cosmopolitan areas as New York, San Francisco, and--yes!--on July 22, there will be one in Minneapolis. I am SO there. I'll post pictures.
