are flash mobs still cool?

yesterday there was a flash mob here in bern (and i missed it, i thought it’s today, i confused the date…) and today there was a little article in two newspapers (in the BZ and in 20min). b. and me were thinking about “organising” a flash mob some weeks ago. he pointed out a link to me about the first flashmob in manhattan. (actually we talked about it on the 18th of june, because i was just looking up the conversation we had over ICQ…) and it seemed like a really funny thing to do. as berni points out, the flash mob in bern was not a full success, but i think this leaves room for more ideas…
