One of the things I like about Toronto is that they have a bustling flashmob scene. I know we have a flashmob movement here in Montréal that has zombie walks and such. But Toronto has newmindspace.
When I missed their fête dans le métro in April because I was in Toronto, I wasn't going to miss their next event. An Easter egg hunt!
So I showed up at Lori and Kevin's place to help write messages and stuff hundreds of plastic eggs.

Then on Easter Sunday, we went hunting. I started out at Yonge and Bloor where I bumped into a guy and two kids who were looking lost. I reassured them that the hunt was on and we started out west. On the way, we met up with other hunters who had started in the other direction. When we hit Bathurst, we turned around and tried the other side of the street. For people who aren't from Toronto, here's a handy map.

But the next time I'm in Waterloo, maybe we could arrange to meet up?
Until then, just find someone in town with a camera and go walking! It's tons of fun.

I'm going to friend her now.
i don't know that i'd put newmindspace events in the same category as flashmobs... newmindspace wrote a piece about that recently that explains why better than i could.
also, nice to meet you again :)
I think that people use flashmobs to describe a wide range of public space activities now. Since I'm a descriptivist when it comes to vocabulary, I'll keep on using that tag so people can find this article. :)
It's great meeting you again too. Small world, isn't it? ;)
I recommend thinking of something fun and simple, like Pillow Fight Club, and spreading the word through LiveJournal.
