What is a Flash Mob?

In modern usage, flash mob describes a group of people who assemble suddenly in a public place, do something unusual for a brief period of time, and then quickly disperse. They are usually organized with the help of the Internet or other digital communications networks.

Who is Brum Mob?

Brum mob is a collection of people who organise flash mob events in Birmingham, the first being the pillow fight that took place on Monday 12th February 2007. These events will be announced online only using facebook and myspace as communication.

What can I do to help?

If you have any ideas then drop us a message, comment or email and let us know them. But most importantly tell all your friends, search for flashmob on you tube and see some of the events that have taken place around the world! We want this to grow and grow to be bigger and better, however to do this we need your help!

Who I'd like to meet:
Fellow flashmobbers!

Brumob	May 2 2008 1:12 PM ##NEXT EVENT: BIRMINGHAM’S BIGGEST WATER FIGHT MAY 31ST OR JUNE 7TH### That’s right guys and girls, Birmingham’s biggest water fight is back for another year. We’re keeping the date ambiguous for the moment but please do message us or post on the wall your preference so we can get an idea of the general consensus. The location and other details will be posted along with the final date on friday the 16th. Until then, post your ideas for locations and get polishing those water pistols - there’s going to be a show down in Birmingham centre! Brumob Team
Brumob	Apr 29 2008 3:24 PM Howdy guys and girls, many of you may have noticed the distinct lack of development regarding the flashmob we promised this weekend. This, as it has transpired, is entirely my own fault. I will not regale you all with the details but it will suffice to say I dropped the ball. Do not despair! For all of those craving a fix of the random we will be releasing the details of two up and coming flashmobs/huge waterfights (oh no! I’ve said too much!) the day after tomorrow. Watch this space. Also, to all those who have messaged us regarding anything we will be trawling through our/my inbox for the next few nights so expect a reply asap. In the mean time, tell all your friends: Brumob is back from its brief slumber. Brumob Team.
Xen♥	Apr 20 2008 9:56 AM Hiya, Anymore info For the 3rd Of May? xx
JK	Apr 3 2008 6:36 AM Hi guys! I've hadna great idea, which I need quite a few people for! Basically, you know when 2 people reunite after being apart for ages, and they shout each others names and run and embrace etc. I was thinking of a mass 'reunion': 1- a guy (the 'subject' of the flashmob, who is a mobber) shouts a girl's name (Also a mobber) and they run up to each other and hug etc. 2- he then turns and shouts 2 other names, and 2 of his friends also come running up and embrace him, and reunite etc. 3 (the killer)- he shouts something general like "Oh! Wow! Everybody!!" and a load of people descend upon him hugging, reuniting etc. all 'happy to see him again' 4- run away! What do you think? JK
dirtylaws	Mar 17 2008 2:34 AM cheers....funny as hell wot u do....keep it up
Brumob	Feb 29 2008 12:44 PM ### NEXT FLASHMOB : SATURDAY 3RD MAY ### The next Flashmob will take place on Saturday 3rd May. If we’ve got our dates right this should be a week after the universities get back from the Easter break. Please someone let us know if we’ve miscalculated! This will probably be the last flashmob we organise before this years “Birmingham’s Biggest Waterfight” (watch out for more information on this one as we get closer to the summer). Please keep posting and messaging us your ideas, I am personally very fond of the suggestion to invade Primark dressed as Rambo, though am informed by cooler heads that security staff may not be so excited by the prospect! If this isn’t soon enough to sate your thirst for all things bizarre, the long time Brumob aficionado, Oli Jenkins, is organising a huge Zombie walk on march 15th. Check out the group “Zombie Walk Birmingham” for details: http://ubrm. facebook. com/group. php?gid=8111995761 Watch this space. Brumob team.
Brumob	Feb 25 2008 1:32 PM Applauding a Saturday Shopper video: http://www. youtube. com/watch?v=nXQ3_MxLHP4 Applauding a Saturday shopper article on BRMB website. The event was also reported several times on the radiostation and included an interview with the shoppers we applauded!: http://www. brmb. co. uk/Article. asp?id=593562&spid=12540 Nicely done lads and ladies, check back here later in the week for news on the next flashmob. Brumob Team.
Brumob	Feb 20 2008 12:07 PM ### - LOCATION: BIRMINGHAM INFORMATION CENTRE, NEW STREET. OUTSIDE H&M NEXT TO THE CROSS ROADS (SEE PHOTOS) - ### This is the glass shark-like building in the middle of the pedestrian area of New Street, outside H&M and next to the cross roads. See the photos posted. Ok, so here’s the plan: 1) Arrive at the location on Saturday at 1:50pm and congregate on either side of entrance. If one side looks crowded or uneven, move to the other. Stand a little back so that we don’t activate the automatic doors or give the game away. Equally, be careful of the road, we don’t want anyone wondering underneath a bus. 2) At 2pm, one lucky member of the Brumob team will position themselves in front of the double doors with a bunch of flowers (thanks to Max Robinson for that one), being careful not to stand so close as to activate them. THIS IS NOT THE SIGNAL, But get ready… 3) Another lucky member will be watching through the glass walls from the outside of the information centre with a whistle. This is how we are going to ensure that we don’t target a vulnerable member of the public. When the whistle blows, the next person to exit the building is the target and will do so almost immediately after the whistle is blown. 4) As the double doors open go mad! Come in closer as the target is presented the flowers; cheer loudly, clap, whistle, shout appraisals, if they aren’t totally petrified by the experience shake their hand and clap them on the back. If some of you want to make banners that say “you rule!” etc that would be ace. But remember, the exercise isn’t to frighten or totally humiliate someone. 5) The effect should resemble a ‘Stars in Their Eyes’ moment, with the stranger exiting the sliding doors to rapturous applause. Unfortunately no dry ice (but thanks for the suggestion), Dave would probably be arrested! 6) When you hear the second whistle, go completely deadpan then disperse quickly and quietly. See you on the 23rd. Brumob Team ------------
Brumob	Feb 3 2008 1:18 PM ### NEXT FLASHMOB: APPLAUDING A SATURDAY SHOPPER, 23RD FEBRUARY, BIRMINGHAM TOWN CENTRE, 2PM #### Location and Target will be confirmed closer to the date (we’re being extra careful this time). Basically, we’re going to hysterically applaud a total stranger for doing something completely normal. 1) Meet at the location just before 2pm. Surprise is crucial with this one but town will be pretty busy so this should not be a problem, just mingle around keeping an eye out for the unsuspecting stranger we will target. 2) The target will be along the lines of “someone putting money in a parking meter” or “a person sitting down on a bench” (but obviously something a little more creative than this). 3) The applause will be initiated by a member of the Brumob team and the focus of the applause will be fairly obvious. It will be (for example) the first person the exit a designated shop or take money out of a specific cash machine after 2pm. 4) Go mad! Cheer loudly, clap, whistle, shout appraisals, if they aren’t totally petrified by the experience shake their hand and clap them on the back. But remember, the exercise isn’t to frighten or totally humiliate someone. 5) When you hear the whistle go completely deadpan then disperse quickly and quietly. The two ideas currently making the Brumob team giggle are either applauding a shopper as they exit Ann Summers (my personal favourite), or as they take money out of a cash machine. The later has been popular in the past and would ensure that we definitely don’t incur the wrath of the Bullring security staff yet again. Check out the following YouTube videos of a HUGE “ATM Applause” on a university campus in the U.S.: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BTh8no91g54 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=660lGVF5bIY http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PfaohsCP1o8 Neither is set in stone so give us your ideas by either messaging me our posting on the wall. We’ve also notice the rather small percentag
Brumob	Nov 13 2007 11:50 AM #### FLASHMOB “BANG”, ..H 2PM #### Watch this space closer to the time for location. The next event can finally be revealed as a mass mimed shootout (or what has been termed a “BANG!” by other flashmob collectives) taking place on Wednesday December 5th. A perfect example of a “Bang” which apparently took it’s inspiration from previous flashmobs: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bxnJX5UoTWQ To see actual video footage type “flashmob bang” into youtube or check out (the first one is especially good): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yoXwFcBmlpw http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bxnJX5UoTWQ 1)Gather at the location (to be revealed closer to the time) just before 2pm in a loose crowd. 2)At 2pm two members of the brumob team will walk into the centre of the location and draw their fingers on each other. 3)In response pull you fingers on each other until a huge standoff is created. PLEASE NOTE: THERE WILL BE NO WHISTLE FOR THIS ONE! 4)As the tension builds one of the original two will “shoot” the other shouting “BANG!” 5)This is your que, let the shootout commence! 6)When you’re shot fall to the ground, the more gruesome and exaggerated the death the better. We all know that pretending to die is half the fun, and if people get too competitive this could go on for a VERY long time. 7)Stay on the floor (or slumpped up against the phone box you clawed a while taking your final few breaths in this world) until everyone else is dead/gone. 8)If you find your self the sole survivor either tern your fingers on yourself or leave jubilantly (Brumob team suggest that skipping a little would add to the over all effect). 9)At this point disperse quickly and calmly in different directions. See you on the 5th
Brumob	Oct 1 2007 11:03 AM ### PILLOW FIGHT!!!!! CHAMBERLAIN SQUARE WEDNESDAY OCT 3RD - 3PM### 1)The location of the pillow fight will be CHAMBERLAIN SQUARE, the place with the huge t.v screen (in homage to the untimely demise of the end of term water fight just before summer we’ve decided to give the location another bash.) 2)Bring a pillow. 3)Tell everyone you know, especially those new to the area this academic year. 4)Arrive at around 2:50pm and attempt to blend in. (Brumob suggests that a rucksack to put your pillow in will go some way to prevent the image that we’ve made a spontaneous mass trip to Ikea). 5)The first whistle will sound at 3pm, at this signal get stuck in! 6)Be mindfull of pedestrians and passers by, under no circumstances should you engage with those not involved with the flash mob. 7)After 2/3 minutes the second whistle will blow. At this signal disperse quickly in different directions.

Stuarttttt	May 7 2007 10:26 AM IDEA- One of the most striking ways to use the white band is to wrap public objects in one! You can use white cloth, paper banqueting roll, plain wallpaper, old bed sheets or banners… Wrap trees in your local park Wrap a famous building, monument or a clock tower Wrap a key venue where decision makers are meeting Wrap buildings that people pass on the way to work Wrap all the lamp posts on a street

Im Luke, Im 5, My Dad's Bruce Lee	Mar 16 2007 1:51 AM I posted this on FaceBook and thought I'd copy it over here also to see what you guys reckon... AN IDEA: ...just an idea, but it would be bloody funny if 200 of us arrived at a local pub football match one sunday morning, all dressed in red and white (or whatever), cheer like bloody maniacs for 2 minutes, then leave again. The players wouldn't have a clue what was going on! ...this could be done to a few matches that morning, then followed up with a beer in the pub.
