Hilarious! If only I would have known about it... I'd like to be notified if you plan another one.

[@CelineKicks]

Oh and I love the music you guys picked.... it's great for it.

[@WHolland37]

My name is Will Holland, I planned this event on Facebook in March of 2008. For my senior year starting this fall, I'll be planning a few more flashmobs throughout the year! Stay posted.

[@BlueCyy]

That's awesome! Good job! I wish this year we have something special too.

[@rosevalley0110]

Love it! The editing is great, very epic!

[@Parad0xial]

I just came to U of M instead of Madison because it was father away from home. They're both two of the best public universities in the nation :P.

[@NaturallyMe08]

I am glad to be coming to the U this fall. That was quite funny.

[@megs72187]

[@Dracmas420]

[@CelineKicks]

nice work everyone! Let's do another one soon so I can participate!

[@shmem143]

I had to choose between Minnesota and Madison. It wasnt even hard. Minnesota all the way!

[@KateLaChapelle]

This was so much fun. Oh U of M. It was effing cold out that day though.

[@electriclady688]

Ah the wonders of a Facebook event, makes things like this possible. This was so fun... and I'm in the vid! And on the cover of the Daily... embarrassing. :(

[@DragonMoss]

[@Rinerion]

[@rzappa15]

That is SO cool

[@Lishesodi]

Sweet. What's the music? I love it!

[@KateLaChapelle]

actually it was just a guy that started a facebook event. and it grew quickly.

In response to TopGirlInTopGear- The U is not a glorified farm, it's in a major metropolitan area. If you think Minneapolis is completely ghetto and dangerous, you've clearly not spent much time there. Sure, some neighborhoods are not as safe as others, but this by no means comprises the entire city. Yes, it is cold, but not for the entire year, and if a scarf and coat don't cut it for you, there are both the campus and city bus systems that runs through campus. Our new stadium opens this fall.

[@jedidwag]

Nice!

[@gaia8uranus]

I agree, but great try...yay for the U. I wish I was there, I'd just seen the Grand central and Trafalgar freezes before the U's.

[@mplsridah]

[@Spencerianism]

Why do they have to try and freeze. This is Minnesota, the weather does it all for you.

[@missilenegrace]

[@dbender88]

that would trip me the fuck out

[@ROBERTTHESCEPTIC]

Smart.

[@Hickspy_]

Oh hellz yea.

[@PizzaRollful]

I was in that freeze. I was standing in front of Tate.

[@kelseybitney]

Oh, and people have turned down Wisconsin for Minnesota, just as I'm sure the opposite has happened. Some universities simply fit people better than others. There's no need to generalize just to make petty insults (and this goes for people attending any university). Just feel blessed you're in the percentage of people who even attend college, as for some, this is not possible (whether financially or otherwise).

[@Dancingchick7277]

when did this happen? who planned it on fb?

[@koejarlisch]

fuck yeah!

[@friemasta]

@techmonster100 Exactly. ^_^

[@hockeyislove10]

[@srjordan09]
