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

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