When you are shopping at the mall on a Saturday in the late morning, seeing a bunch of teenage girls is not an irregular occurrence.  Seeing that same bunch of teenage girls bust out into a choreographed dance routine is a different story altogether. 

That’s exactly what happened on November 13th as hundreds of dancers from the Pinnell Dance Centre performed a flash mob dance to a special version of the SafeAuto jingle at the Easton Town Center in Columbus, Ohio.  Starting off as one simple breakdancer, the crowd grew as more and more dancers joined in, until seemingly everyone within viewing distance seemed to be in on the routine.  Even SafeAuto spokesman Justin Case was in on the fun.  See the video here or at the end of this article.

It definitely surprised onlookers, whose reactions were caught by one of the five strategically placed video cameras that caught all the action.  While the dancers looked inconspicuous enough, you may have noticed a flood of red football jerseys in the crowd.  The simple answer to that observation is that it was a Saturday in November in Columbus which means an Ohio State football game was slated to kick-off later that afternoon. 

Congratulations to all who partook in the activities and it will be interesting to see if the SafeAuto Flash Mob can get anywhere near the amount of YouTube views as some of the other famous Flash Mobs over the past few years.

One of the headliners of the SafeAuto 97.9 The Beat Custom Car Show & Concert in Dallas was rap icon Ice Cube.  From his early days with NWA, his booming solo career, and the plethora of movies and TV shows he has developed, Ice Cube has been synonymous with hip hop culture from the very beginning. 

While performing his hits (including “Check Yo Self” and “You Can Do It” as seen on the video), Ice Cube kept the crowd singing along and his strong stage presence definitely showed that he is the rap gold standard.  Right before Ice Cube went on stage, SafeAuto’s Justin Case was brought before the crowd and said a few words (also on the video).

All in all, the concert was a great success, and SafeAuto Insurance was pleased to be the title sponsor of the event. 

Justin Case recently conquered Ohio’s heat to make an appearance at the Move It Movement event hosted by Time Warner Cable and the Cartoon Network . He met with fans, played street hockey, learned self-defense moves, and gave away some great prizes. Not a big surprise, however, was the popularity of the new SafeAuto Silly bands. Fans loved the unique bands and were thrilled to grab a set.

Justin’s next visit will be at the 6th Annual Custom Car Show & Concert, hosted by 97.9 The Beat in Dallas, Texas. Stay tuned for updates on this event coming up on Sunday, August 22.
