How I did it: Not only was I part of a flash mob, I organized it!
Twice a year, podcacher.com asks people around the world to put on a 15-minute geocaching event that is also a flash mob. Since Syracuse did not have one the last time around, I decided to organize a Syracuse-area WWFM (worldwide flash mob). It only took 15 minutes to perform, but about a month of preparation.
For this flash mob, 48 geocachers gathered together at precisely 1:00 (the same time as over a hundred other events worldwide), took a group photo, and started marching through the park with childish and/or unique instruments. It was lots of fun, and once our parade got to the playground area, we had children looking on with bemusement and parents looking on with concerned confusion. At precisely 1:15, we all scattered.

Take a look below for links to video, pictures, and other information on the event.

Lessons & tips: Organize things well. Make sure everyone knows what they should be doing! And get people to help you with everything that needs to be done!
