First off, "What's a Flash Party? seems like a good question.
I think the basics equation is this: Flash Mob (in party mode) + Beverages (beer, if possible) + Music = Flash Party.
Of course it's totally open source and totally open to interpretation, I'm certainly not an authority on the subject. I just know Flash Parties are fun and spontaneous, which is how life should be lived, no?
What's your interpretation?
The next question might be, "Would the world be a better place with more Flash Parties or fewer Flash Parties?" Definitely another question that's open to interpretation, because you just never know what is going to happen at or after or because of any particular Flash Party.
You could debate that until you're blue, but that would likely prove nothing other than what your personality and opinion is because it's all based on your beliefs and the assumptions and the hypotheticals you use to make your points.
So this seems like it's basically a yes/no/maybe type question. If you answer "yes," then the next question seems like it might be "Should we do something to encourage, spread, and facilitate Flash Parties?" If your answer is "no" or "maybe" then, no problem, but you are probably at the wrong website.
So, for everyone who said "yes" to the above question, How should we (everyone) encourage, spread, and facilitate Flash Parties? A website or web/mobile application? A place where people can self select and increase their ability to instigate and participate in Flash Parties?
Seems like it could easily start as a small project, like a wiki, so everyone could at least show, tell, interpret, discuss, stuff. Stuff like philosophy, recipies, equipment (that was an awesome shopping-cart-boom-box-contraption the guys in this video clip built), etc. All open source, all public, all available for interpritation, improvement, variation, evolution, etc.
I don't know, that's what I think. Anyone else interested in this? Able to contribute a little? It's definitely one of those side projects/interests kinds of things, at least for people like me (a person trying to reboot his life and bring together a team for a bootstrap startup project).
