I'm Not On The Cutting Edge

So you may very well already know about these two things. But two cool things have been brought to my attention today, and I'd like to share them with anyone who's as far from the vanguard as I seem to be.

First is Hipster Bingo, which I guess you're supposed to bring to your local indy rock club or record store. I guess you could use it in Harvard Square, but you'd have better luck with a Panhandler Bingo (I should work on that!).

Second is the growing trend of flash mobs, when groups of people quietly organize to get together, do something weird for a few minutes, and then disperse. In New York, they all went into Macy's to look at a rug together. In San Francisco, they all crossed the street spinning. Sooz reports that a similar effort is starting in Boston. Should be fun.

Flash mobs?

Uh oh, last time I can think of something like that happening in Boston, a revolution started.
