Take that back: I wish I had time for this

OK, so there is something interesting to comment upon... I spoke too soon.

A fun article in the New York Times regarding flash mobs, where spontaneous groups are organized for innocuous fun. I can see myself never having time for this. I only watch less spontaneous Dean Meetup gatherings from afar. Maybe there's a point in one's life when there is no room for "mob-ness"? I have a hard enough time enduring the crowds at Bumbershoot, Folklife, etc. See also Howard Rheingold's Smart Mobs site.
