A Silent Rave?



Over 1,000 people gathered in Union Square Park in New York on Friday and rocked out and danced to music...from their own headphones. The event was started by a British exchange student who claims that these gatherings are popular overseas and invitations were sent over websites like Facebook (shocking). Wow, I wish I had seen this. I mean, who wouldn't want to see a silent congo line? -Diana

It's called a flash mob. They did this at the Jefferson memorial and one person got arrested.
