If ya'll want to do something fun and "spontaneous" here's a simple proposal that's easy to do and fun. Instead of trying to Flash Mob with music just do it silently and while in a frozen stance. Pick a popular and very public place to do this. The more people that can get in on this act the more fun it can be for everybody. It's very simple. You're in a public place, you're signing with your friends, families, whoever and then at certain time, say exactly at 12:12 PM, everybody freezes at the same time what they were doing for 2, 3 or 5 minutes. Take your pick but don't make it too long since try and stay in an awkward position for 5 minutes. It's not that easy for some. An example of a freeze Flash Mob watch this video below:
There should be at least one person who'll do the video-taping and when that's done have the video edited and uploaded on YouTube. If you want to increase positive exposure of ASL in a fun way, this is one way of doing it and everybody get to have fun doing it as well.
Since I've proposed this Deaf Freeze Flash Mob at exactly 12:12 the location for me and anybody else who live close by could take place either in Portland, Oregon or Seattle, Washington. The suggestions as to where in those cities would be a good place to do it in a public setting. And get a lot of people involve. It's not impressive with only 10 or 15 people when you can get 100 or so.
I'm sure some of you are asking why "12:12"? It's easy to sign "12" with two hands and freezing the sign after saying it to represent the 12:12 Frozen Flash Mob group.
Doesn't matter really, just a fun idea for ya'll. Who wants to be a part of this 12:12 Freeze Flash Mob project? It can take place anywhere in your own city.

lol
that's cool.
Portland and Seattle is way too far for me.
It's amazing how most of them were able to stay still in some of the positions they were in. I saw one guy twitched his nose, but pretty much everyone looked still. What were the alive bystanders thinking? lol too funny.
Doesn't have to be in Portland or Seattle. Just put one together in your area.
