Last Thursday in San Francisco, another flash mob hit Powell and Market at the cable car turnaround at exactly 3:59pm (3.5.9). This random display of FUN was an all out pie fight. About a hundred people gathered with paper plates of whip cream or what makeshift pies they made and started throwing down. All I can say is, WHY NOBODY CALL US? Here’s some footage this guy put together. Looks crazy!





Flash mobs have been going on for a few years now in San Fran but originally started Internationally. I read some guys comment on youtube where they claimed a flash mob in the UK threw a million pounds at a train station. We can only imagine the chaos that would have gone down. Eye poking, breast grabbing, maybe even gas releasing. Do that in the hood here and people might get shot. But SF officials are contemplating whether to start shutting these flash mobs down. Tens of thousands of dollars had to be paid in damages from SF’s last flash mob which was an all out pillow fight on Valentine’s Day. Though the definition of a flash mob is the start the action in a flash and it ends in a flash, this pillow fight went on for HOURS!!! DAMN LA, why can’t you do shit like this? At the same time, how are you suppose to catch these people when it always happens randomly. Read more here about the article in SF GATE.
