A Wild Time and A Flat Line

The past couple of weeks GR has been hosting ArtPrize, that is an amazing event and everyone should try to make it out. There are some pretty amazing pieces of art and artists that come from all over the world to present their work.

I was there last weekend and I'm a little depressed that I missed what happened by one day. There was Lady Gaga flash mob that occurred. For those who are not aware of what a flash mob is: A flash mob (or flashmob) is a large group of people who assemble suddenly in a public place, perform an unusual and pointless act for a brief time, then quickly disperse. The term flash mob is generally applied only to gatherings organized via telecommunications, social media, or viral emails. This is something that would be fantastic to do as a senior prank or an impromptu. It takes a lot of planning and dedication for it to have an impact. This video (above) was posted showing a large group that go together and created a flash mob to Lady Gaga's song Bad Romance.

Being a fan of Lady Gaga, I thought it was a pretty amazing thing to be honest. There is a debate between people who like Lady Gaga and people who don't like her. I like her because she makes music that I like to dance to. End. Of. Story. Her fashion doesn't bother me and the essence of her music videos don't bother me either, because frankly a lot of artists music videos don't make any sense to me.

I was a little upset that I missed this happening, but the fact that it happened so close to home I thought was pretty sweet. Although I wonder if the participants would get in trouble if they were caught. I'm sure the police don't appreciate flash mobs popping up, especially with how busy it was with all the tourists in town to see ArtPrize. It would be interesting to know.

So that's my arbitrary thought for the day. Let me know what you think.
