Steve Rhodes was on the scene at last night's Michael Jackson Tribute/Flashdance Flash Mob at Justin Herman Plaza. We hear it lasted for six hours. We're surprised there weren't any zombies. Check out SF Appeal for video footage and links to more photos of the event.

Today's Record-Breaking "Thriller" Dance: the Video

Ta-da.

whatimseeing.com has the images and video you've been waiting for: the Thrill the World Michael Jackson "Thriller" dance-off (as well as choice images of today's protest, by the way). We hope it broke the record so we don't have to do this again for at least another year.

All in all, a pretty good routine. Sure, someone is calling out the steps during the routine, and the moves could've been a bit tighter; but we're splitting hairs here. Good job, guys.

It also seems that we've got ourselves another Q-for-mayor-ee in the house, and he likes himself some MJ, for sure. Good moves there, kid. Good moves.

Another view after le jump.

Death Match: "Thriller" Record-Breakers vs. Antiwar Protestors

As some readers have already pointed out, Saturday's collision of death at Dolores Park should prove interesting. With a bevy of corpses available for you to express yourselves, which one will you choose?

In addition to the "Thriller" dance record-breaking attempt at Dolores Park, Saturday's Antiwar march, starting at Civic Center at 11 a.m., will end up smack-dab at the same recreational area. Once there, the "Fall Out Against the War" marchers (another worldwide event happening on the same day) will stage a (symbolic) die-in "to bring home the 2 million Iraqis who have died, the 500,000 who are now refugees, and the nearly 4,000 U.S. soldiers who have died for an occupation that only benefits weapons manufacturers and oil corporations."

That's a lot of dead bodies scattered around DP this Saturday. Mind your step.
