A Halifax flash mob?

A few days ago it was reported that at tonight's Canada Games free Joel Plaskett concert there would be a 'flash mob' dance. Instructional videos were even available online.

Of course, at least to Jeannette and me, the fact that the event was so planned and publicized seemed to undermine the 'flash' component of the event.

Anyway, while at the concert this evening I was curious to see how this whole thing would play out. It seems that in the end few people actually performed the dance during the show.

If you are interested you can see for yourself below.

Oh, and that is Premier Darrell Dexter at the beginning of the video. He made a brief appearance before the headlining act took the stage and then participated in the end of the song before the 'flash mob' dance.

It's "to Jeanette and ME" (not "I"). The pronoun is objective, not nominative, since it follows the preposition "to".

This objective - nominative problem seems to extend to all Monitifax bloggers of record, without exception which suggests a noticeable void within the English grammar curriculum at Bishop Fields circa the turn of the Millennium.

I get the sense that there might have been a noticeable void in the winning friends and influencing people portion of the VHS curriculum between about 1964 and 1966.

And I really doubt that it is 'Jeanette and ME,' it is more likely 'Jeannette and me.'
