In an effort to draw attention to the fact that nearly 22% of Philadelphians read below a basic level, the Center for Literacy plans to hold a flash mob at an undisclosed location in the city. Readers will "freeze" in position at the same time in the latest form of performance art, probably made most famous thanks to Oprah's giant mob in Chicago. If you would like to participate, sign up at the Center for Literacy's site to find out more details and to learn the location of the mob! If you participate, check in with the Phillyist and let us know how it went. We love to hear about what you are doing out there.

Ah, flash mobs. We love them. From massive pillow fights to silent discos, they’re generally outrageous, funny, and tend to be a lot safer than actual mobs.
