This happened about a year ago during the thanksgiving season. Though it's abit late for me to discover but hey better late than never, right?

This impromptu event was attended by lots of well known people, including top Youtuber, Shaycarl from Shaytards, projblogsphere, THEkrismohfanz and many more close friends. The song chosen for this mob is PHamous, paying homage to the venue where this event happened.

Location: Midtown Manhattan, New York, US
Organizer: Improv Everywhere


Improv Everywhere has done it again. This is their 7th year running Mp3 Experiment with about 3000 odd participants. It's an event where mobbers download a mp3 file into their iPod, sync their time with an atomic clock on their website, head down to retail stores in Midtown Manhattan and press play simultaneously. Finally everyone gather at Bryant Park to end it all.

I don't know about you but it certainly do look hilarious, though I hope they put the tissue into good use after the mob and not litter it around. ;-)
