Perry Farrell's Satellite Party Flash Mob Sign-Up
()
If Perry Farrell wants to have a Flash Mob situation happen in Venice on Sunday, fine.
Bro invented Jane's Addiction, an LA band so great it ranks right up there with the Doors, Guns n Roses, and the Beach Boys.
Like Brian Wilson, Perry could have holed himself up in a house doing drugs and thinking about surfing, but instead he invented Lollapalooza and then made the underground classic film The Gift.

So if Perry wants a damn Flash Mob he can have one.
Infact simply for the fact that the best song from his first solo project, Porno for Pyros, posed the interesting idea that we would make good pets for aliens; and the fact that every Sunday we get to hear Janes as they rock the theme song of Entourage, are reasons enough to give Perry a pass.
We don't nothin about any Flash Mobs, but we think that if you text the phone number (located after the jump), you will be miraculously texted back before Sunday with the address of the secret location where Perry and Satellite Party will be hosting a Venice party.
