Flash mob coming to Sheffield?

Flash Mobs are seemingly unplanned gatherings of large groups of people that converge in public (or semipublic) places for brief periods of time. All members of a Flash Mob simultaneously converge to form the mob and then quickly disperse again at a given time, all members departing in different directions.

Some late night surfing led me to finding this site:

http://www.geocities.com/sheffmob/

It's a site advertising a proposed 'flash mob' for Sheffield in August.

I found the site by following a link from the London flash mob site:

For more background info see the site that seems to have started this craze (I tried to access this site following a story about flash mobs on

http://slashdot.org/ -- the server has since recovered from that :-):
