Not much to say except I thought [this](http://www.bancsabadell.tv/eventos/cultura/) was great (music-related; hopefully it hasn’t already been posted, but it’s hard to know what to search for). ---

Oops - link got screwed. Let’s see if [this](http://www.wimp.com/bestcoin/) works. ---

Thanks for that. ---

Okay, that’s officially my favorite flash mob video or rendition of Ode to Joy ever. ---

Yeah, I actually teared up a bit watching it, which is really not very like me. Sorry for the bad link in the original post - glad to see I’m not the only one who appreciated it. ---

I thought is was going to be “Visa: Everywhere you want to be”, but instead it is “130 years of Banco Sabadell”. It is a nicely produced video, regardless. ---

That is cool. That’s one of my favorite songs. There’s some great reaction from the crowd too. ---

Yeah, at first I was a little uneasy with the fact that it was done on a big budget with multiple cameras for a promotion, but it was so cool I overcame it. ---

I love the kids who are dancing and fascinated by it, which I don’t think was completely scripted. (And you just know that somebody called and complained about the noise.) ---

That was great. (It doesn’t really feel very flash-mobby to me. Adding instruments as a song progresses isn’t particularly novel. But the presentation was awesome.) ---

Hanging around to take a bow afterward seems to violate the flash-mob convention of instant dissipation, too. Then again, I doubt there are _rules_ to this. ---

> [@Bryan\_Ekers](#): > > Hanging around to take a bow afterward seems to violate the flash-mob convention of instant dissipation, too. > Then again, I doubt there are _rules_ to this. Also the audience seems quite clued in that (nearly?) everything is going to happen that happens, also not flash mobby. ---

Is there a word in English for “Even when you know what’s going to happen because you’ve seen it before, you’re overwhelmed with the sense that maybe, just maybe, the world isn’t a sucky place, that possibly it can be filled with moments of connection and beauty and joy and innocence?” Cause I need that word. And I need a tissue. Again. ---
