Flash Mob | South by Southwest 2009 | Rock City Networks

http://smarturl.it/RockCityYT Thankyou to Wikipedia for this detailed description. The first flash mob was created in Manhattan in May 2003, by Bill Wasik, senior editor of Harper's Magazine.[4][7] The origins of the flash mobs were unknown until Wasik published an article about his creation in the March 2006 edition of Harper's. The first attempt was unsuccessful after the targeted retail store was tipped off about the plan for people to gather.[9] Wasik avoided such problems during the second flash mob, which occurred on June 3, 2003 at Macy's department store, by sending participants to preliminary staging areas—in four prearranged Manhattan bars—where they received further instructions about the ultimate event and location just before the event began.[10] More than 100 people converged upon the ninth floor rug department of the store, gathering around an expensive rug. Anyone approached by a sales assistant was advised to say that the gatherers lived together in a warehouse on the outskirts of New York, that they were shopping for a "love rug", and that they made all their purchase decisions as a group.[11] Subsequently, 200 people flooded the lobby and mezzanine of the Hyatt hotel in synchronized applause for about 15 seconds, and a shoe boutique in SoHo was invaded by participants pretending to be tourists on a bus trip.[7] Wasik claimed that he created flash mobs as a social experiment designed to poke fun at hipsters and to highlight the cultural atmosphere of conformity and of wanting to be an insider or part of "the next big thing".[7] The Vancouver Sun wrote, "It may have backfired on him... [Wasik] may instead have ended up giving conformity a vehicle that allowed it to appear nonconforming." ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bringing you the best interviews from SYN, 1700, Immigrant Union, Cherry Bar, Cherry Rock, Peter Pan Speedrock, My Dynamite, King of the North, EVEN, Jackson Firebird, Black Cobra, Fu Manchu, Johnny Green, The Clash, John Cooper Clarke, Fad Gallery, Pushover Festival, Redcoats, Money for Rope, Parkway Drive, Tonight Alive, Roland S.
