NOTE FROM KIM:
“Mobile clubbing” is a twist on the “flash mob”
phenomenon, in which people gather in a public
place and dance to their own music with headphones.


The Top 7 Signs You’re
at a Mobile Clubbing Event


7> The subway turnstile is a velvet rope.

6> Unlike at a regular dance club, you aren’t the only one who doesn’t know what the heck is going on.

5> With people spontaneously breaking into silent dance, it’s either mobile clubbing or you’ve wandered into a public performance of “Children of a Lesser God: The Musical.”

4> The “bartender” only knows how to make one drink: a chug of Thunderbird from his paper bag.

3> You have to break every few minutes whenever someone shouts, “Car!”

2> Tragedy ensues when the mosh pit next to you gets decimated by an uptown express train.

and the Number 1 Sign You’re at a Mobile Clubbing Event…

1> Teenyboppers ignore the celebrities, preferring instead to fawn over the street vendor selling AA batteries.
