UPDATE, 2:53PM: We have video! Find it after the jump.
You know that saying about how everything takes a little bit longer to reach the Midwest? Well, after the flash-mob trend has taken over train stations and public spaces across the world, it's finally made it to Kansas City. According to the Star, at least 450 people -- organized by word-of-mouth and e-mail -- erupted among unsuspecting shoppers in Handel's "The Hallelujah Chorus" at Crown Center yesterday. (They called it a "Random Act of Choral Music.") It was supposed to be a secret, but by 1:30PM, Crown Center's central atrium, food court, and upper two levels were jammed with singers holding choral music, cell phones and digital cameras.
UPDATE: Check out the video over at the Plog.

This video was taken from an event in Welland Ontario Canada, not Kansas City.
What's with that video? That's not us. And that was a choreographed performance, not a flash mob. We were a true flash mob, a bunch of total strangers who came together with no rehearsal, sang for four minutes, and then dispersed.
