Day 47: FLASH MOBS

Today in class we did four separate flash mob in various locations across campus. We started with a big game of duck-duck-goose in the center roundabout on the main bike-path on campus. Personally I didn't like this one. It didn't seem like much of a flash mob at, but rather just some people playing a game. There wasn't much of an element of surprise to it, and it didn't really get much of a public reaction, despite the large amount of passers by. My favorite one we did was the first time we did the handgun flashmob in the study area of the university center. Our thirty person class entered the U-Cen from different entrances, at scattered times. Once all of were in the same general area, sitting down, acting casual, two of us bumped into each other, resulting in a stare off turned "hand-gun" stand off. As soon as the rest of the class saw this, we all pulled out our "hand-guns" pointing them at each other, until after about a minutes time, Desiree let off the first "BANG!" We then all proceeded to "fire", falling off over the place, strewn about the room. A few random spectators decided to join in the battle, machine-gunning from their study areas. Once everyone was down and "Wounded", Maxwell and myself stood up, worried, yelled "What the F*&#!" and ran out frantically. This one got some really great public reception and a range of reactions, so much that we actually re-did in another location. As fun as this one was, I think today was enough flash mob for one man to handle.
