The Mob projecta sort of live art installation composed of spontaneously appearing and disappearing "mobs" of peopleis spreading beyond its NYC [Harpers/McSweeney's/Tinkle] roots and infiltrating other lesser cities like Minneapolis, San Francisco, Dallas, London and Raleigh-Durham. *Sigh.* Evvvvveryone wants to be like New York. It's such a burden, being the cultural trend-setter for the rest of the country. What with transducing the American zeitgeist into tangible art, fashion, and entertainment trends twenty-four hours a day, there's barely time to stop and smell the [freshly manicured by the illegal help] roses. I mean, really! Can't you other cities make up your own bizarre art projects? Must we do everything for you?
