Mobile Clubbing
Flash mobbers are Mobile clubbing, turning up at public place (pre-arranged by cell phones) where they begin to dance to the sound of their own ipods.
"It's 6:45 pm on a drizzly Wednesday evening at Waterloo Station. The main concourse is crowded more than usual due to train delays. Anxious faces stare at blue screens hoping for their cue to sprint to a platform in the hope of a seat. The middle aged lady with handbag in one hand and mobile phone in the other looks down for a second and stares in bemusement at two young ladies who begin dancing to the sound of their personal stereos. She shakes herself to check her senses are not playing tricks as a Conga line streams past behind her with 20 or 30 people listening to their own personal stereos. Other commuters look on dumbfounded. Welcome to the world of Mobile Clubbing." [ via Agenda Inc. ]
