   TVB - I happened to run across the Sound of Music one earlier today; as a former theatre person (as if one ever leaves the theatre and vice versa), it is also my favorite.

   JanS - the Hallelujah is beautiful; the organ music literally finds the resonant frequency of your body so it has a physical impact on listeners. This effect was actually studied extensively specific to religious music to maximize its effect on people. Lots of other music, particularly with heavy bass and midtones does the same thing, which explains some behavior at rock concerts.

   JanS, I doubt she knows about it.......I'll post it the morning it happens. I suppose that's breaking the rules, because then it's not a surprise but I'm having a hard time keeping this under my hat......

    I hate you guys...

    Four hours ago I didn't even know what a flash mob was. Now it's after midnight and I've spent the whole night watching one incredible video after another...

    Gee thanks... good night.

    Pibal -- glad you enjoyed them. I'd heard the term before but had never seen one; pretty impressive. Can't wait to see the vid of the one Vanessa didn't tell us about.

    turns out they did several in Seattle on the same day. Here's the one at Seattle Center with about 1,000 people:

    and Pioneer Square:

    I've always wanted to be in one of these, but I guess I'm not cool enough to be in the know ahead of time. :-)

    Vanessa, spill the beans, please! I even know the alto part to the Hallelujah Chorus!

    Great incorporation of a flash mob on Modern Family a few episodes ago .. hilarious! You gotta hang in for a while until it all unfolds, but worth it. :)

    A friend of mine was in the event at Qwest field and the Beat It flash mobs a year or two ago. She's also a Zombie flash mobber at Halloween. This website looks promising for getting involved if anyone is interested... http://www.onedegreeevents.com/flashmobseattle/

    Or someone could start a West Seattle flash mob group and perform only numbers from West Side Story. When you're a Jet, you're a Jet all the way!
