They had one of these in Philadelphia last evening--and it was a damn nuisance. It was held on the plaza on the west side of City Hall, which made it, to say the least, a great inconvenience at rush hour to people who ordinarily use the subway entrance on the west side of City Hall. Like me. ...
I did see one very cute young guy with an olive complexion and scruff, and I wondered where he got the white suit.

I guess it can be annoying Jeff--they seem to have a thing about it doing it on a weekday evening (to get yourself out of the realm of the everyday) and (for me) super annoying--they never tell you WHERE the event is set--until the last minute. People congregate in one location, then (with your bags of stuff at the ready) sprint to the final destination. Exciting for some, but bothersome to others.
Oh well! ::) ::)

So, it's like a flashmob, but in addition to the music and dancing there's food and drink, and everyone wears white?

I remember you mentioning that before. Actually, you could say I'm making an assumption about the location, because the police had the whole plaza blocked off with the portable fences they use for crowd control when there is a parade. But I also heard a police officer tell some that the plaza was closed for a special event.
