Thing to Do #66: Be Part of a Flash Mob-UNC Flash Rave #3

When I first began this blog, one of my first posts was about Flash Mobs because UNC students had just held a Flash Rave during Final Exams week at Davis Library.  From that I found out about Improv Everywhere and from THAT I found out about the No-Pants Subway Ride.

The UNC Flash Rave began three semesters ago. It was somewhat covert then and surprised some students and library staff.

But the rave is no longer a secret. It has a Facebook page, where at least 5,600 students had pledged their participation, and was the subject of a recent story in the Daily Tar Heel, which reported on it as it would any other campus event expected to draw thousands of participants.

This year’s video is in elapsed time, so it gives a good idea of how many people are involved, but last year’s video was so much better.  I’ll post it again because it makes me happy :)

About Jessica

Mild mannered marketing drone by day. Bucket list adventurer by late afternoon. Having first drafted a list in high school, Jessica's list of things to do before she dies has slowly taken over her life and consumes her thoughts. Because of the list, she has traveled to Mordor, plummeted towards the Earth's surface from 13,000 feet up, cavorted with whale sharks in open water, skinny dipped herself into the Guinness World Book, and cursed the day she was born during the last miles of a Marathon. It's safe to say that if Jessica is doing it, it's on the list.

  1. Haha this is cool. Also, this would be one way to get crowd surfing off the list!!!

  2. That’s what I was thinking-I like two-fer’s. But to see the video, you can really get hurt! Oh well, I guess its not exciting if you don’t run the possibility of cracking your skull!
