Leeds Mob

Welcome! This from now on will be the Leeds Mob offical homepage I think after the Geocities account was scraped and after all, this page is better anyway ;). The flash mob went ahead on Saturday the 16th of August with us hitting H Samuel after the Carphone Warhouse closed their doors. The hit happened around 4:50 pm with about 30 people involved.

Download video

The top link in the media section contains a link to the video report. However its for 56k streaming so I put together a better quality video that can be downloaded. Its around 10mb and still in Windows Media Video format but the quality is a lot better. Right click and click save target as... to download it.

Yahoo group back online

I tried to re-register the group at its old address but Yahoo said it was already taken despite the fact it isn't. So the group has been moved to a new location with a new email address. Thanks to Matty's quick thinking in deleting the old oneeveryone has to rejoin. Ah well, it can now be found at...

Instructions (just for memories)

It will go ahead this Saturday. Meet Matty at the lower McDonalds (the one on the corner in the big line with Pizza Hut and Burger King. It has two floors). Matty will be outside from 4:15 onwards giving details on what will happen, where to go, etc. He will have some leaflets in his hand.

Remember to try and bring as many friends as you can.

Thanks,
The Team

Questions

Is Leeds Mob going to be organising another event?
Possibly. Although it won't be a classic flash mob. We have a new idea.
