This just in…a Remote Control Bus Stop Rave Flash Mob will take place this Friday, September 21st at 9pm in San Francisco. Here’s more info from the organizer:
Greetings fellow humans!
This Friday, September 21, starting at 9PM, there will be a remote control bus stop rave flash mob. Someone set up a music rig (hidden in the eaves of the bus stop) that goes off when someone sits in the bus stop or walks in front of it. Join the mob, it will be fun. Watch this youtube video of a previous bus stop rave: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ktm-LxCoe_I
WHERE:
- Bus stop at the corner of Haight and Fillmore in SF (headed west)
- CLICK HERE to see a mapWHEN:
- Friday, September 21, 9:00 PMWHAT TO DO:
- When the music and lights start, go to the bus stop and dance.
- When the music stops, vacate the bus shelter,
- Be friendly to passer-bys and locals. Encourage them to dance.
. Eventually, as the night goes on and we all become more intoxicated, this will evolve from a flash mob into a more of a bus stop rave.Bring your friends. It really is a lot of fun to party in bus stop that has its own sound system.

omg! I love san francisco!
Derived from a task on http://sf0.org/
Don’t forget the site, http://www.sf0.org, and the task, http://sf0.org/lowteck/Flash-Mob/, that spawned this!
Rubin & Ed, the organizer of the event did not mention sf0 in the write-up he sent me. It looks like it’s the same person, so I’m not sure why he chose not to provide that information. I did notice that there was a reference to sf0 on the video.
I know this looks like fun, but is it wise to be putting electronic devices in public places after the Aqua Teen Hunger Force Blinkies Scare? :) Or are the people of SF more level headed & less prone to fright?
re: cha0tic
I think its very hard to surprise the denizens of SF. Not easily phased. In any case , it was never a problem in the past. People seem to really like these improved bus stops.
re: others
This event isn’t for an SF0 project, so the organizer didn’t think to mention it. The video posted on youtube was made for sf0, so definitely worth mentioning.
I’m so frickin there on Friday……….silly crap like this makes me appreciate where I live every day!!!!
I love this idea :D We have quite a few mobile soundsystem parties here in Toronto.
But for the love of god, I wish people would stop using the phrase flash mob.
We may have to do this :)
Here is a link to an essay about the phrase “flash mob”… this event could have easily just been a “bus stop rave”.

But, anyway, looks fun :D
Hey what’s tracks playing?
Some dope beats, I wanna go party there!
First off thanks to all of you who spread the word and came out to dance in the bus stop. When I do this again, rest assured I will have any technical difficulties worked out. And I will give it louder sound.
Re: “Yeah,ThatSo?”
There at least three different tracks on the video. Here they are in order. I’m going of the top of my head, so I might be mistaken.
1. Dajae feat. Cajmere – Brighter days
2. Wiseguys – Want you want
3. Jason Hodges(?) – remix of a beasty boys song….
Re: “Kevin Bracken”
Previous versions of the bus stop flash mob were actually flash mobs. I don’t care for your elitist views on what is or isn’t a flash mob. Terribly sorry it didn’t meet your 12 standards on what constitutes a ‘true’ flash mob.
I should also note that last friday (9/21/07) there were too many people to have a flash mob and it did indeed become a bus stop rave.
