FLASHMOB #4.
External link:
I just got back from flashmob #4. After meeting at the designated location, I received a slip of paper saying the following:
---
*** MOB #4 ***
NOTE--NEW DURATION:
5 minutes (Gather at 7:18; disperse at 7:23.)
THE SITE:
Otto Tootsi Plohound [an upscale SoHo shoe store] (273 Lafayette, just north of Prince). Leave Tom & Jerry's [The bar where people born in April to June were to gather] by 7:12.
YOU ARE:
* On a bus tour from Maryland. You are excited but also bewildered. It is as if the shoes were made in outer space.
* If you have a cell phone, dial a friend. Say, "Guess where I am." After a pause, say, "In a SoHo shoe store." Or: "In one of those New York City mobs."
KEEP THIS SLIP HIDDEN
MOB #5 IS NEXT THURSDAY

When I got there with my friend Jessica D., the crowd was enormous, with hundreds of people standing shoulder to shoulder in the normally spacious store. Just as I was getting to the door, the proprietor put his arm in front of me, and said no more people could come in, but I managed to sidestep him. Many of the people behind me weren't so lucky. There was a noisy, boisterous, but otherwise harmless crowd in the store for five minutes, and then we quickly left.
I filmed the whole thing on my brand new video camera, but apparently I need some kind of card for my computer, and the stores are all closed. I intend to get it tomorrow, so I can upload the video.
