According to the Urban Dictionary, a flashmob is a group of people who are organised via various mass communications to come together at a specified place and time, perform some (typically whimsical) action, then disperse.

Wikipedia gives some history and examples of flash mobs that have already happened. Titles like "the pillow fight flashmob" and "the world naked bike ride" give you some idea of the whimsical nature of these events. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flash_mob

This flicker page ( http://flickr.com/photos/jonasb/21161372… ) has images of an annual flash mob event called Santa Mob or Santarchy or Santacon that happens around Christmas. Here is their site: http://santarchy.com/
