Monitor the Central Texas Geocachers Yahoo group for details on how you can volunteer to become a part of HISTORY.
Summary: The Basic Idea:
A "Flash Mob" Gathering of Geocachers. Only 15 minutes long! You MUST be present and sign a log sheet DURING this time to claim the event.
The World Wide Flash Mob Event: Dozens of events all around the world, coordinated to happen at the same time to bring together geocachers and introduce others (newbies) to the geocaching.
You're heard of MEGA-EVENTS? This is quite the opposite in a variety of ways. FLASH MOBS have gathered for other reasons (visit link) ). Come be part of this historic event!
The event will last EXACTLY 15 minutes, not one second longer.
The event will begin precisely at noon Central Time on May 2, 2009. The event will be held at the Arboretum in north Austin. This is in an open public space. The event will be highly organized and facilitated by volunteers. A minute by minute itinerary will be posted. We will also have printed copies of this ultra-precise itinerary distributed at the event.
The Plan
At exactly noon (as determined by the GPS clock) we will place a bucket full of nice, new swag at the coordinates. At this point, all geocachers will converge, seeming to come out of nowhere
One volunteer will hand out log sheets / raffle entries (same sheet). Participants will sign the log sheets (which will later become a log book), to qualify for attendance and drop them in a designated collection box. Bring a pen. Participants may trade swag via the swag bucket at any time. We encourage you to bring nice swag to trade.
If any muggles are curious about the event we will have a volunteer hand out fliers that explain geocaching.
At 12:03, we will have a meal.
At 12:08, we will take a group photo.
At 12:10, we will call out the raffle winners.
At precisely 12:15 the bucket, and the log sheets will be packed up and sealed away. The event area will be vacated without a trace!!! Events that happen after 12:15:01 do not count as part of THIS event.
Only those participants whose names appear on the log sheets may log the event.
Tell your friends and help promote the event!
Suggestion: COME EARLY TO FIND PARKING. If you can't find parking you might miss the event!
