Found a Python script (by stuartcw) that lets me upload a journal entry with a photo by email from the phone. So here's a picture of the Croydon skyline as a test, and look for realtime blogging of the Flash Mob tonight.
I've subscribed to the mailing list but have received nothing, and checked out the website but cannot find anything. (New webpage screening software has been installed here, which may be to blame.)
So, apart from the fact that I know it's tonight, and that there's some sort of gathering in (unknown) pubs on Tottenham Court Road, I do not know what's going on. Please provide details.
In case anyone missed this, you have now been officially invited to the UK's first MOB, and the first London MOB. If you did not know a MOB is an inexplicable gathering of a group of people in a place for a short period of time. Be sure to forward this note as quick as possible to other people you know who might like to join in.
(2) by 6:17pm based on your star sign you should have already located yourselves in the following bars and/or pubs. Buy a drink, act casual and don't stare too much at the Fruit machine!
Aries, Libra, Taurus, Scorpio. Fitzrovia Pub, 18 Goodge St, keep an eye on the Fruit Machine. (Corner of Goodge St and Whitfield St, W1)
Gemini, Sagittarius, Cancer, Capricorn. Carpenters Arms, 68 Whitfield St, look out for the Fruit Machine. (Corner of Howland St and Whitfield St, W1)
Leo, Aquarius, Virgo, Pisces. Rising Sun, 46 Tottenham Court Road, W1, do we need to tell you about the Fruit Machine thing by now? (Corner of Tottenham Court Road and Windmill St)
(3) At about this time a MOB rep will make themselves known, appear and pass out further instructions. Read the instructions carefully and then hide the piece of paper about your person so that it can not be seen.
(4) The instructions will provide the destination of the MOB site, and you should arrive there no earlier than 6:30pm and no later than 6:30pm. If you are early, stall, if you are late hurry! although no one will need to rush.
(4) The instructions will contain everything you need to know. Most importantly the time to leave the MOB site by is 6:40pm. The dispersal is just as important to the success of this MOB as is the arrival. Everyone should leave as quickly and orderly as they can and truly disperse.
(5) After the Flash MOB, carry on with your lives as per normal, await instructions for Flash MOB #2
