Ever seen a flash mob?
Ever wish you could be in one?
You need to contact this guy. He is seventh (or third) degree, Charlie Todd, founder of Improv Everywhere, a flashmob theater group based in New York City. Charlie also is founder of The Upright Citizen's Brigade Theatre.
If you'd like to study up on how to create a flash mob, buy Charlie's book, "Causing a Scene." Mr. Todd insists that these are not "flash mobs," but that term's meaning hasn't settled yet.

A word about Exorcism
I normally comment on major Catholic vocab words as they come up, but I don't have a lot to say about this one. I've spoken with many Orthodox priests and Roman Catholic priests about exorcism over the years and they all say the same thing. "Satan is real. What I saw was terrible. You don't want to see it." Other than that, I don't have much to add. Perhaps we'll get a priest or two to comment on the new movie, "The Rite," which came out yesterday. Here's a trailer.
