SAN FRANCISCO — City officials say they’re considering a crackdown on “flash mob” gatherings after some recent events left the city with a hefty bill.
The fad involves a mob of participants that suddenly materializes in a public place, engages in odd behavior and then disperses. The events, promoted through websites and word of mouth, range from street-corner pie fights to seemingly spontaneous sidewalk dances. San Francisco’s Recreation and Park Department says a massive Valentine’s Day pillow fight cost the city more than $20,000 to clean up mounds of feathers that clogged storm drains and caked up sidewalks.
