ToC Flash Mob

It is Tournament of Champions time, the annual rendezvous in Grand Central—for many the greatest week of the squash year.

I’ve always loved coming into the station that first time for the tournament and hearing the thwap of a squash ball amid the din of commuter’s feet and chatter and to run into a friend—as one never seems to otherwise—in the main hall, out of sight of the court.

I’ve always wanted a squash flash mob there—you know, those videos about masses of people suddenly breaking into song and dance in a public space. The best one remains the Sound of Music in the Antwerp train station:

There has actually been one flash mob during the ToC—you can tell by the giant posters—although it was in that sub-category of public performance art called a freeze flash: sort of like that opponent who never clears from the T.

Speaking of annual January-in-New York activities, what we might be really waiting for is a no-pants day at the ToC?
