So, this is what it’ll look like. It’s easy AND doesn’t take up too much or your time. So if your headed out for a night on the town, drop by for a couple of minutes, join our mob and you can get back to your whatever without anyone missing you. HA!

So, here it is folks:

PLEASE NOTE WE’RE GOING ON THE 7TH OF JUNE 2008, SATURDAY instead of the 5TH as announced in the previous post. Inconvenience caused is regretted. Kinda..

Script:

7:00:00

Three people appear in front of bombay stores wearing t-shirts that read: a, good & example. They will be standing in a line- stand behind them and continue the line.

7:00:10

The three ‘leaders’ will start walking, you must fllow them and repeat what they do.

* Don’t panic, they’ll just mainly be doing stuff like walking as if on a tight-rope, jumpig over small obstacles or meandering through people. You just do whatever the bugger in front of you does. The video will give you an idea.

7:08:00

the leaders reach the end of brigade road and chuck a bit of rubbish (used tissue, coke can, dirty newspaper etc) into a pre-arranged bin near the brgade road/mg road junction. You to must do the same, therefore it is advisable to carry with you a piece of rubbish to chuck instead of scrambling about at the end of the walk (although it would prolly lead to a spit-shine sparkle at the junction)

7:08:30

After slam dunking that garbage in the bins, disperse.

Before you mock my choice of days please consider my procrastinating brain needs a deadline.

So this time it’s world environment day, the 5th of june, thursday. Don’t  worry, this time we’ll do it later in the evening so people who’re working can come after. Finalized script, time and venue will be put up shortly. Check back to find out.

And yes I know it  says flashDANCEbangalore, I’ve been procrastinating again!

Join the facebook group ‘bangalore flash mob’ where we shall continue planning about more flash mobs.

If you’re not on facebook, don’t fret the blog will still function as usual.

Ok so the flash mob went well! A big thanks to all who made it yesterday. dancing or not.

I admit a few starting hiccups were experienced but none half as bad as I had imagined in my head (three people dancing half heartedly in the rain)

stay tuned for more flash mobs to come, better organised, more people and crazier scrpits..

* OOooOOo we were in newspaper! page seven bangalore mirror and page 5 mid day

18:00:00- whistle goes off

Put on sunglasses/shades/dark glasses & adjust mp3 player to the song you’d like to dance to.

18:00:30 - whistle goes off

DANCE AWAY! like go completely beserk and shake it like you mean it!

18:01:15 - whistle goes off

freeze postion. don’t move!
you blink and stuff but try hard to look like a statue, even if people come really close to stare and all, stay still!

18:01:45 - whistle goes off

walk away into the crowd like nothing ever happened.

END

stuff you’ll need:

a pair of shades

an mp3 player/ walkman/ discman..whatever does it for you. Only criteria is no one should hear what your dancing to, only then does it look strange enough for the kind of reaction we need.
