OT comments:
Broadcasting something in advance with detailed directions makes it the opposite of a flash mob.
"filling the entire walkway of the BP bridge" and "create a canopy of umbrellas and bodies" makes "The intent is not to block the bridge" nothing more than a useless, butt-covering disclaimer at best.
Am I wrong to detect some kind of "critical mass" thinking here? If so, you're appealing to the right group. Are you planning on registering the event at flashmob.com?
I see it as more of a massive contradiction.

Huh? What does this mean?
Only that, like CM, a Flashmob is generally leaderless, inspirational, whimsical...and means different things to different people. Not sure its a fully-defined term -- for instance the Urban Dictionary has five attempts to define it, the most popular is:
...A group of people who appear from out of nowhere, to perform predetermined actions, designed to amuse and confuse surrounding people. The group performs these actions for a short amount of time before quickly dispersing. Flash mobs are often organised through email and/or newsgroup postings...
Wouldn't that definition also fit a Mass?
Spencer doesn't come to CCM from the angle of bicycle advocacy-- he sees it as a relatively purposeless effort waiting to be tapped into to energize other causes. Don't make the same mistake
Howard, you gonna bring an umbrella to the Bridge this Friday?
Will this be negatively affected by the Black Hawks parade or enhanced?
