okay, so a couple of days ago I posted a video about the flash mob dance outside on michigan avenue. it was really cool amateur footage from someone's perspective across the street at the chicago tribune. well i watched the oprah winfrey show last night for the airing of the block party show filmed tuesday and woah, it was so cool.
being that i work on michigan avenue and my building is located directly in the chaos that was oprah's block party, i was mostly annoyed all day long about the number of people that filled the streets, the constant replaying of i gotta feeling, when i went out to lunch it was pandamonium with people doing all kinds of weird dancing and people shouting out 1,2,3, and 4 mash potato 2,3,4...
i was like what the efffffff is going on. this is so annoying. all day long tho, i couldn't concentrate at work bc of all the hub-bub going on outside.
had i any idea that it was all in an effort to perform the biggest flash mob performance in history...i would have joined right in.
i was amazed at the end result. after a day of being annoyed with the congestion and constant will.i.am and fergie mic checks...i now see what it was all going toward.
amazing job chicago. so cool.
