Not sure where you’re getting your information, but the Glee Flash Mob is not cancelled. I’m the organizer. Seriously, NOT cancelled. Everything is set for tomorrow. Come one, come all!

flash mob (or flashmob) is a large group of people who assemble suddenly in a public place, perform an unusual and pointless act for a brief time, then quickly disperse. Get read to be rocked Bike Race!

When is a flash mob not a flash mob? When it’s publicized on every blog in the city, that’s when. Or when jseattle cancels it.

Only the first flash mob had the benefit of FLASH!!! Routine since then.

Still fun, still a hoot, still better than one more Sat. noonish tour of the Pike Market — BE THERE — flashing? No, no no …

On second thought, maybe some mooning? Please, this time of year white ass simply shines it is so white … could make Cal Anderson famous one more time … and Eagan, from what I hear, you could lead the mooners!!

since the flash mob is on and has been confirmed why mis-blog about something? I don’t care either way, just think it’s interesting, and so is the comment thread.

You guys are making it hard for me to love this blog as much as I once did by posting a blatantly false story about the flash mob being canceled and then not even bothering to update the headline. Even the body of the post wasnt updated til hours later.

Seriously, where did you get this fake news from? Makes it hard to trust anything you post on this site.

Well …

why do you care why we care?
1. good information to make plans

2. interesting local stuff

3. hanging at the park is good for me (see above)

3. caring is my nature, I love puppies and feed the homeless

4. I am democrat not a republican

5. neither my father nor my mother were puritans

6. la danse is a human theme going back thru many centuries ( collective joy)

I don’t know where the bad info came from, but cut jseattle a little slack on the slow update. He works very hard to make this blog happen and brings us extra-local news that we otherwise probably wouldn’t know about. But he’s still only one person and even with twitter, iPhones, and everything else, he isn’t always going to be able to be right on top of everything.

Yeah, was trying to make fun of heavy big media coverage and the TV show promotion but I failed. Was trying to be obvious enough that organizers would laugh it off. Not against flash mobs or any of the people involved. I was definitely trying to be a punk but not a mean one. Guessing by organizers media prowess this will go off just fine and Fox ratings will hang in there.

Huh?

The CHS Blog is a great source of information, when mentioning a location you even give a google map shot.

So “joking” is very out of character …. and too onionesque.

By the way, – tons of crappy net joke stuff – please come to my farm with a box of kittens and fine food, Justin will be there with the unicorns building the barn, if the mafia will let him ….

Ha ha.
