..and nobody came?

The Minimalist Inferno was so excited to hear we were supposed to be getting a flash mob of our very own--we even had a special wall and everything for them , so they could come put up artwork. (which was apparently the mob's plan; loose lips sink ships, apparently--we found out from the HR director's son.)
So a bunch of us, all curious and wanting something interesting to happen at work, waited...and waited...and waited. Nuthin'. A whole big fat empty wall of nuthin'...except for the scattering of disappointed-looking staff members and a lonely cop.

Were we tricked? Could be. Or the organizers could have found out that WE had found out, and cancelled. Or people just were that apathetic. Who knows? Not me. Even though I stayed patiently, looking very very hopeful. (I did see someone I thought might be Honeytiger, who asked me if I was from some kind of convention. My brilliant asnwer..."Uhhhh...no...sorry!"

But it wasn't a complete washout. I ended up talking knitting, crochet and trying to play hackeysack with some guy by the name of Hans. (I suck at hackeysack, which shows how charming I found Hans. *Blush*) It just felt nice to hang out and flirt a very little bit. Heh. I thought I'd forgotten how or something. *grin*

yeah...i wanted to form a Walker flash-mob to go to Minneapolis college of Art and Design (the starting point of the mob) to stick post-its to things writing, "Where were you?!?!"

But we were all tired and disgruntled.

Very rude of them, to unexpectedly not to crash your place unexpectedly like that.

maybe they were there, but nobody could see them because they are ghosts? Was there a damp chill?

It's this kind of kicking game with a little beanbag...you kick it toward your friend, they kick it back to you, and you try to keep it up in the air as much as you can. (usually if I'm on campus or something there's at least 5 or 6 people passing a hackeysack around to kill time.) I bet you guys call it sometime else; I know it's popular with backpacking youth-hostel travelers.

No, never seen that. Long time since I was a backpacking youth-hosteller, though. I do remember playing kick-softball with coke cans in Rome once...
