Okay. This public university rivalry stuff is officially out of hand.
You may recall last week I wrote about a "flash" dance party some innovative UNC Chapel Hill students put together to break up the monotony of finals week. Yes, 700 students dancing to techno music in the middle of the library at midnight.
Click here to view that video and read an interview with one of the students who organized it.
So, the plot thickens. Up at the University of Virginia, someone was clearly inspired by UNC's goofy youtube stunt. Imitation, as they say, is the finest form of flattery. If you watch the video to the end, you'll see that the organizers actually credit UNC for the idea.
Enjoy.

Not the first school
Thu, 12/18/2008 - 16:45 — wsw21College of Charleston, I believe, originated the flash rave. And here at UNC Charlotte, we had over 2,000 people pack into our Atkins library just two days ago to have a flash rave. I think school rivalries aside, this was just a fun event to liven the mood during what is usually a pretty rough stretch of exams.
