Flash Mob
Hooray Seattle! What a cool town where people just break out into dancing in public.
Glee 2012
April 21, 2012. We mobbed in three locations, and each had a "Special Celebrity". The first, at Seattle Center was a look-alike for Mr. Schuester. The second was a marriage proposal, and the third was Egan, himself doing an "It gets better" video.

Dare to Dance
March 16, 2012. For Zheng's birthday, he rented out an auditorium and had friends of his put on a dance concert. It was put on again in 2012 and I was in "Freak Mob" (wasn't in it originally, but learned enough to be in it here), The end of "Circus" with the canes, Something else, and the end of the proposal mob.
Pike Place Market 104th Anniversary (and Rachel's 25th birthday)
August 17, 2011. There's a special anniversary celebration for a major Downtown tourist attraction, and we'll be surprising the (ample) crowds in this outdoor space with a flash mob! We'll be doing a reprise of Jared's Firework choreography, with a fun theatrical twist that we'll pass out to the mobbers just before the event. (we all wore pig noses)

Special Olympics Breakfast
March 23, 2011.
Stadium Rock
September 12, 2010. The halftime show of the first Seahawks game. At one of the rehearsals, one of the line leaders asked me to be in her line. I did not know it at the time, but that particular line also then became the Letter Line leaders. So I became a leader of sorts in this Flash mob too. I was South side, line 1, leader of the C's.

Single Ladies / Glee
June 27, 2010. Went to the "Drag Auditions" to see what it was all about. Beth was looking for 5 people to be the main Drag Queens. Five people showed up to rehearsal, so we all got cast. I thought I could re-use the Kiss of a Spider Woman outfit I had used at Camp.

Glee
April 10, 2010. Went to the first rehearsal back in March and was dubbed an "Instructor." Got to do the second small part of the routine before the mob joined in.
You Tube - Westlake Center. Through the second half of Don't Stop Believin' I am in the upper right: Cream colored hat, gray sweatshirt, backpack. I was a "B" team dancer. Pioneer Square.
The Seattle Times took video from 4 different locations of the Glee Flash mob and sliced them together. There is a pretty good shot of me at 2:54 - Don't Blink!
Thriller
2009 Halloween in Renton. Repeated a couple days later at a private party. Became a Dance Captain at the last rehearsal. Wore a yellow armband so the other dancers could find me.
My personal view at street-level. Video
The official video showing all the dancers. Video
Another 2nd-story viewpoint. I am under the left side of the weird lamp-thing. Video
Another 2nd-story view. My head shows up in the lower-left corner a lot when they zoom in. Video
My head in the upper-right corner. Toward the end, the crowd opens up and you can see me full length for a couple of seconds. Video
I get a freeze-frame at about :45 with the words "Be Part of History" around my face! Then at 1:50 I am pretty centered in the rehearsal. Video
