# The three types of in-person pastagang session
When you do an in-person pastagang session, it'll be one of three types.
- Set
- Jam
- Mob -
## Set
It's when one or more people choose to perform a set as pastagang: Under the pastagang banner: With the pastagang identity.
-
They may or may not use the public jam space. They may or may not invite others to join them from around the room or the world. Others may join, or perhaps not. The important part is that the performers are enough in-sync with each other and have enough coordination between them that they are able to do a *performance* with a clear start and end and at the end they get a clap, or something like that.

Examples of pastagang sets:

- [Type Techno 2.0](https://post.lurk.org/@froos/114097687889844221) -
## Jam
It's when people semi-spontaneously pastagang together for fun.
-
A jam has no clear start and end. There is no clear separation between the performers and the crowd: They are the same thing. Lots of laptop hopping happens and jammers take turns. It's done for the fun of it, not for the show. Anything can happen: It's looser. Maybe better for background music.

Examples of pastagang jams:

- [London Algorave](http://www.youtube/watch?v=FmE_yUIz4lQ) -
## Mobs
It's when it's chaos because of how many people join at the same time.
In mobs, the fun comes from the carnage more than anything else. There's a sense of wonder in how many people are taking part and a sense of humour is definitely needed. Not much sound comes out and if it does it's probably not pleasant. Expect to hear many crows.
Be warned: It's common for a mob to take down the venue's internet.
