Charlie, Lydia, Wiley, Andy, Furley, and I went to 30th Street Station on Monday to participate in a Flash Mob. Our goal: Freeze in place for 5 minutes when a signal was called. Then let people in the train station freak out about why people were frozen in place.
This video tells the story of why we did it. (Did you ever play the Freeze! game when you were a kid? I loved that game.)

Frank the ONLY reason you did it was for payback to SEPTA for the hours you were FROZEN in place the other night INSIDE the train!
Frank the only reason you did it was to get back at SEPTA for being frozen in place INSIDE of the train the other day!
That would have been me, frozen in my seat for 2 hours!

LOL…that's right, Albert. It was a Freeze Mob. Glad I didn't have to dance!
How many of you freeze mobsters showed up? Is that you in the dark coat with your back to the camera?
That is, in fact, me in the dark coat in the upper part of the picture,
closer to the big board. I think there will be many new pictures coming.
I would say there were 30 or so people..it was hard to say. Pretty
fun…especially fun to hear the reactions of people around us. We froze for
5 mins…then at the signal walked off without saying anything to
anyone…as if nothing happened. Cool.
That really is cool! And I loved Freeze Tag (that's what we called it in my neighborhood) when I was a kid, too.
Merci…FREEZE TAG…you're right…that's it!
30 years ago I wandered every catacomb, hallway, nook and cranny waiting for the train back to Bala Cynwyd after a day at Drexel (and more than a few frat parties). Security since 9/11 makes 30th Street a real big no no to loiter in. The place was a ghost town till about 1990.
I was wondering how security was gonna handle. They told us if security
started to freak to just break out and walk away slowly.
Crazy how times have changed. When I first started traveling for business I
would just walk up to the gate at the airport, didn't show ID, and always
had to wrangle to sit in “No Smoking.” LOL, can you imagine having smoking
on places now? Crazy.
Although you didn't have the hundreds of people like the larger scale groups have done, this truly would be awesome to experience ha. Those people must have been thinking so many things while walking through that station. Keep it up and get more and more people in on it!
