Local 'crowds' are most likely in places like NYC and SanFran, and (hopefully soon) Boston with the MIT project taking off.
Many areas might not be ready for a couple more years, but it is a really interesting idea.

What is a "Coin Mob"?
Similar to a "Flash Mob" a "Coin Mob" is where a group of people who would like to pay for goods and services using bitcoin, organize a day and time to visit a selected merchant who either IS ALREADY accepting bitcoin OR who is willing to accept bitcoin for payment instead of their local government issued currency. The idea being that if a merchant is told that "X" number of people are going to show up on a certain day and shower them with bitcoin it will convince that merchant to accept bitcoin for the event and for future patronage, thus increasing our beloved bitcoin community and "closing the loop" in the bitcoin economy.
