It is a good idea in theory. Similar to the Zombie Apocalypse that was set to be unleashed during GWAR. I showed up for that, not sure that anyone else did however.
It is one of those things that when the time comes, somehow fizzles out. I know that sounds bad but trust me, it is the way it is.

I say everyone watch this video 100-200 times and attempt their variation of Thom Yorke's dance. Then when radiohead plays this song, the entire crowd or at least a large circle of people that have been practicing their version of this dancing, just start doing it. Could be funny

Flash mobs work because they generally happen somewhere you wouldn't expect something crazy...like a train station or a shopping mall or in Times Square. I feel like if there was a flash mob at Roo most people would just giggle and keep going about their business. Might not have the same kind of impact lol.

Especially the Thom Yorke Dancing idea, it would just look like people dancing at a concert.
This is the first message board I've ever been on, the only reason I joined is because I love Bonnaroo and wanted to read and talk about it all year long.
Friday. 6pm. Everyone meet at the fountain and urinate in it. Then hopefully by next year this will teach the wooks to stop showering in it and turning it brown!

That brings up another question. Is the Fountain for looking at or experiencing? If for experiencing then doesn’t matter if you stand under it or shower the water will turn brown.

I think of the fountain like a public pool. People piss in it even though they shouldn't. I thought this debate about the brown water was settled long ago.

I have been intending to organization something along the lines of what Improv Everywhere does for years, but I never get around to it - every single year there's something that keeps Bonnaroo a question mark for me until somewhat short notice, so I never know far enough in advance to be able to plan something.
I think it could be done, though, if you do it right. I've always sort of had a list of rules in mind that any plan would have to adhere to: 1. It needs to happen at a time that people are available - basically, either midday, or at a headliner show. 2. It needs to not involve any special equipment/clothing/makeup/etc. You've gotta make it easy on people. 3. No disrupting shows, imo - if it does happen at a headliner, it should be something the artists would not object to in any way. 4. I don't think the "we'll meet up beforehand and sync our watches" strategy that a lot of these things use is feasible for Roo - nobody will bother if they have to attend a rehearsal, and not everybody wants to be wearing a watch anyway. So it has to be based on some cue that is guaranteed to happen. A song that you absolutely know a band will play is one of the only things that comes to mind.
I've fantasized about getting a flashmob together- would be alot of fun and would be easy to pick a song and the right band/stage to do it at; but I agree with madman pondo and plasticpepper- not to be a downer but it would take a lot of organization- people would be initially enthuseastic, but once you're at Bonnaroo, any organized event blows to the wind-(except for brunch of course). You'd have to get it right and considering how crowded it can get, you'd have to have a substantial no. of people doing it to make it have an impact. However, it would be awesome- could teach dancesteps by posting on Youtube and get everyone sitting together at the appointed time. If anyone has to guts and time and choreography know-how to do this, I'm in to help organize.
