Now that’s wild! I could only imagine how I would have reacted if I was passing through at that moment. Crazy!

Michelle, it’s really something. I’ve been through that place so many times, and everyone was moving. I love flash mobs…that one was one of my faves.

That’s brilliant! I loved all the passersby weaving through the frozen people. What a masterstroke of performance art.
Thanks for posting that, Frank!

I walked through GCT that day. It was a Saturday so no commuters. If it had been a weekday you would have seen most those people knocked down. These guys do this all the time. Best event I’ve seen is either the pantless subway ride or SantaCon ( about 1000 people dressed in various Santa outfits come together in GCT after a bar crawl and start chanting HO Ho Ho)

Eddie, I wish I could have seen that. You’re right about that being at rush hour…I’ve been in there lots and move fast…and still get knocked about.
That is really fun. I’ve seen the pantsless rides on YouTube…I like the creativity.
That’s fun stuff. Cool to have been there. Cheers.

I challenge these people to try this in Tokyo. ANYWHERE in Tokyo. They will end up with shoe prints all over them!!
