Hey All,

We here at ITM-HQ have been thinking about how we can kick off the summer clubbing season with a bang and we've come up with a cheeky little thought. We've been tossing around ideas for a little while and recently came across this huge flashmob / silent disco that happened in the UK. Check out the clip:

Media Player

So, we're prosing something similar, Town Hall steps, Friday week.

The coming long weekend is the traditional start to the clubbing summer season, so if you want to be part of ITM history, bring your friends, your ipod, camera / camera phones and get down to Town Hall steps next Friday 28th September and get ready to party on the when the clock strikes 6:11pm. Let's make it a massive silent party, take over the middle of the city and have the biggest ITM meetup ever!

Who's in??

awallis · 20-Sep-07, 05:00pm

Hell yeah!!!

ITM'ers takin' back the streets!

simonfromuk · 20-Sep-07, 05:01pm

DJ Voucher · 20-Sep-07, 05:03pm

Phew! And I thought a Flash Rave was a whole different concept!!

Grytt · 20-Sep-07, 05:21pm

There is a massive four way pedestrian crossing on Park St and George st, next to the Town Hall steps. Get enough the party can take over the street. Hello National News!

sHuphiL · 20-Sep-07, 05:21pm

im all for supporting something fresh.

i think ill bring a note pad along so i can say hi to people.

Junior · 20-Sep-07, 05:24pm

What a wonderfully weird and whacky way to kick off the festival season...

Big Tuna · 20-Sep-07, 05:26pm

I will be going through there on my way home from work with my iriver already attached, right at that time

I will watch from a distance though.

Freaks.

SydneyDiscoKIng · 20-Sep-07, 05:27pm

Donnie Darko · 20-Sep-07, 06:47pm

Goldfish · 20-Sep-07, 08:01pm

sounds like fun, it'll only work if lots of people show up though, cause ten people dancing to ipods will just look kinda odd

funboi · 20-Sep-07, 08:17pm

people do know this has been done many many times before yeah. should still bring lols though

austrance · 20-Sep-07, 09:47pm

it's one of those things ppl often hear of but rarely if ever c so I think the novelty still remains

kone · 20-Sep-07, 11:00pm

in for sure.

Donnie Darko · 20-Sep-07, 11:26pm

i dont care if ten people turn up... ill be able to proudly say i was one of those ten people back in o-seven

Being Sydney I would have thought 6.12 was more appropriate.
