It's Saturday and I have nothing to do tonight. If this were an actual art event with a real set time and place that was promoted, I would go to it. However, since I'm not on Twitter, I won't.
OMSI is not an art museum. Museums have little interest in emergent forms of art and education. From going to the Art Museum during the 3 hours it is free once a month and seeing the mobs of people, I think museum attendance might be down due to price increases.
Personally I think flashmobs are mostly silly compared to the happenings of the 60's but there are some great exceptions.
Chris: The above links to (En)Counter's tweets are viewable to people without an account-- just click on through. And here's a link to our art listings, in case you wanna browse for something with a set time and place: http://www.portlandmercury.com/events/Even…
sueno: Re: "OMSI is not an art museum." True. I guess I just feel like museum staff should be encouraging the museum experience-- for the health of museums in general.
