Something I picked up from oddnews.org

5,000 people flash mob-ing it. But the venue couldn't handle it. Odd since a) it's a mall, and b) it's California where building standards are bit over-engineered due to the earthquake threat.

Wow. These giys make us looking really, REALLY good.

I've gotten to know the new libriarian at UH music library this last year...she was at UNT and knew some of the same teachers I did, her name is Katy...very cool and she may be down with it.

Prepare for my geek out...

That was filmed in the NY Public Library reading room, the same room the GBs found Egon "listening" to a table, and talking with the librarian.

It was staged by some comedy troop in NY and the Library, so all the staff was informed on what was going on, but not the people. Hence all the clapping.

I wanna do that to the UH, Rice, or Houston Downtown Library. It would rule!!!

/geekout

I knew right away that the video wasn't filmed in Texas. We would have seen the busters shot to bits. And, who knows what would have happened to the guys wearing sheets on their heads....

Wow dude...

Not sure if I should be more scared that you said that .... or that I got it.

We're ready to believe you!!!

Actually, it's so scary that there's a Ghostbusters community! :shock: :shock:

Yeah, those big fat guys kinda reminded me of a few people...oh, wait that's my mirror! ;)

Pretty cool, I can see us busting out "What is Hip" at Willowbrook Mall and blowing everybody's eardrums out!!!

Here's another...

Flashmob...yeah cool, but if we could get anything that resembled a mob at one place at one time we wouldn't have had to suspend the season!

[b]Flash mobs are funny, and seem like a lot of fun. Everything is coordinated via the internet and the members show up and do their thing. We're kind of doing that in a way already being weekend warriors.

Corey that could make a very interesting and pioneering type show IMO.[/b]

Cory do you mean the dancing or the song.

Perhaps another direction that might suit fairly well. As I wonder what a drumcorps could do with a format like this one. Oh the parody possibilities. Perhaps not of much value beyond entertainment though.

Er, how about a little more excitement?!!?
