Smile Denver Flash Mob

By
Real Estate Agent with Novella Real Estate

Yesterday there was an interesting event in Denver.  I happened to come across the announcement as a member of Meetup.com.  It was a Smile Flash Mob.

Huh?

Yes, I know, if you are clueless like me you probably don't know what that is.  I didn't know what a "flash mob" was either.  At first it appeared to have something to do with photography, you know as in "flash!"

Well being the curious person I am, I followed the Meetup link to SmileDenver.org. There I found a couple interesting videos, one demonstrating the flash dance they would do and the other a totally unrelated mob celebrating someone picking up a bottle lying on the street.  This one was my favorite, if you have a moment watch it!

As luck would have it, yesterday I had an outing planned with a friend. We were going to be in Downtown Denver anyway, so we planned to watch the Smile Flash Mob.  It was fun.

The whole event lasted less than 10 minutes and you can see from these photos made everyone smile.

Hi Kristal,

"A flash mob (or flashmob)[1] is a group of people who assemble suddenly in a public place, perform an unusual and sometimes seemingly pointless act for a brief time, then disperse, often for the purposes of entertainment and/or satire.[2][3] Flash mobs are organized via telecommunications, social media, or viral emails.[4][5][6][7][8][9] The term, coined in 2003, is generally not applied to events and performances organized for the purposes of politics (such as protests), commercial advertisement, publicity stunts that involve public relation firms, or paid professionals." Wikipedia

Interesting, unique fun experience that can be done because of twitter, foursquare and other internet and mobile phenomena that you could not do otherwise.

Thanks for sharing.

Kristal, ten minutes is a great amount of time to keep a smile on your face - who knows?  It could freeze that way!

Kristal, I'm so jealous you got to see this flash mob!  I'm dying to either see one of these or be a part of one.  Great photos!
