The Cacophony Society is “a randomly gathered network of free spirits united in the pursuit of experiences beyond the pale of mainstream society.” It was started by surviving members of the now defunct suicide club of San Fransisco in the USA. According to self-designated members of the Society, “you may already be a member.” Particularly well known amongst its members is the novelist Chuck Palaniuk, who has mentioned the Society in both his writings and interviews. He used the Cacophony Society as the basis for the organization Project Mayhem in his novel Fight Club. Palahniuk himself was pranked by a gang of Cacophonist waiters at one of his book readings in San Francisco.

We set up "Events" that are really just large scale pranks or get togethers involving many people. Go to the sites on the bottom of this page for more ideas of what this is all about.By joining this group you will get an email about once a month telling you when a prank will happen. These Emails probably wont start until 2006 or after as the CT chapter is just begginging.

Flash mob activities share some ideas with cacophonist theory, as well as groups like Improv Everywhere.
