like the western world is practicing for the coming wave of OpenSpace.
Flash Mob sounds like an OST workout in which participants invite, convene, and
let go without the messy business of conversation. you know how all that
conversation always makes real live OpenSpace events so long and sometimes
necessitates notes and typing... <grin></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:36.0pt'><font size=3
face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>Is it performance art or
the ultimate surprise party? A social phenomenon known as the 'flash mob',
which began in New York and relies on e-mail, appears to be spreading
worldwide.<br>
<br>
Using mass e-mailing, the organisers bring together what their invitations
describe as 'inexplicable mobs' - large crowds that materialise in public
places and suddenly dissipate 10 minutes later.<br>
<br>
Since the first flash mob was organised in Manhattan in May, by a mischievous
underground group called the Mob Project, the practise has already spread to
other U.S. cities, while plans are being drawn up for events in London, Rome
and Vienna.<br>
