Wired reports on Tuesday's trucker-hat facilitated mob activity: "About 200 people then proceeded to Macy's. They rode the escalators to the ninth floor rug department, where they gathered around a large carpet on display. 'We were told to say we all lived together in a big old warehouse in the suburbs,' said Jenni Valton, a participant. 'We all explained to the salesman that we were looking for a love rug to play on, and that we only make purchases as a group.' After discussing the merits and drawbacks of the selected carpet for 10 minutes, the mob dispersed.'" (I'm told that the people behind the mob are from Harper's, McSweeney's, and Tinkle. Media people and writers. Figures.)
