ITP THE ART OF DANCE PART 3: FLASH/MOB DRIVE BY MOSHING

It's a phenomenon that is sweeping across the world, like old school raves thrown together in secret locations at the very last minute. All in support of freedom of assembly, art, music, and spontaneous energetic combustion. Flash/mob drive by mosh pits.As both raves and moshing have been pushed underground the alternative is: Silent Rave / iPod Flash Mob
The Silent Rave is a simple idea. Everyone convenes at a predetermined public location with an mp3 player and headphones. Then at some time, everyone starts dancing/raving/moshing to the music on their player. To all bystanders it would be a silent dancing mob. The group could either disperse at a predetermined time as a flash mob or keep the party going until it was forcibly dispersed.

Variations that could be carried out include, everyone downloading the same playlist so everyone is listening to the same thing.

Cost: $0

Disruption: Large
