Stanford's first ever FLASHMOB!
Monday, January 30, 2006, 12:20pm
In case anyone missed this, you have now been officially invited to Stanford's first ever FLASHMOB. If you did not know, a FLASHMOB is an inexplicable gathering of a group of people in a place for a short period of time. Your task:
By 12:20pm on Monday January 30th and based on your star sign you should locate yourself in one of the following venues with your bicycle and a cell phone:
Aquarius, Leo, Scorpio, Cancer, Gemini or Taurus: Treehouse (and wear a hat) Aries, Pisces, Libra, Sagittarius, Virgo, or Capricorn: Red fountain in front of Green Library (and wear a pair of sunglasses)
At some point a FLASHMOB representative will make themselves known, appear and pass out further instructions. Read the instructions carefully and then hide the piece of paper about your person so that it cannot be seen.
The final instructions will provide the destination of the FLASHMOB site, and you should arrive at the destination at the time that it states. Aim to get there on time, if you are early, stall, if you are late, hurry! Although no one will need to rush.
After the FLASHMOB, carry on with your lives as per normal.
At all times, remember that a FLASHMOB is just fun.
There is no step 6.
At some point during the day, synchronize your watch by using http://nist.time.gov/timezone.cgi?Pacific/d/-8/java (Preferably before the FLASHMOB). Extra Credit: Tell all your friends who might like to join in.
Stay on the right.
Still confused, surf on over to http://www.geocities.com/londonflashmob/ for some more info and surfing links.
