The World Wide Flash Mob Caching Event. WWFM III. May 10th, 2008
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.
Please BYOP! (Bring your own pen)
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 10:00am PDT (GMT -7) on May 10, 2008. The event will be held at the posted coordinates above. 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 10:00am (as determined by the GPS clock) a mobile geocache will arrive on site, full of trackables, and tons of new swag, at the posted coordinates. We will place a small CD player on the ground near the cache to play some pleasant, upbeat music. At this point, all geocachers will converge, seeming to come out of "nowhere". (grin)
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 "bag" 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 a designated time, we will toss out Hershey Kisses to all attendance for the event "meal".
At a designated time, we will take a group photo.
At a designated time, we will call out the raffle winners. One of the raffle items will be the FTF honors certificate.
At precisely 10:15 the cache, and the log sheets will be packed up and sealed away. The event area will be vacated without a trace!!! Events that happen after 10:15:01 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. Parking can be difficult to find (if this is a smashbuster event, otherwise, not too hard). If you can't find parking you might miss the event!
Note: Although participants are welcome to get together after the event, the event will officially be over at 10:15. Afterwards, at the meeting, participants may chat, meet, eat and plan for a day of caching!!!
I'm sure there will be several muggles nearby who will wonder "What did I just see? What just happened?" (That's part of the fun!)
There will be several new caches placed in the local area for the FTF seekers, as well as for general caching fun. Come join us for this event, a fun filled day of caching, while exploring the historic area surrounding the event!
Feel free to log "you will attend" if you plan to attend, (to help me perform a preliminary head count prior to the event...or remain anonymous if you wish), and "attended" once your name is secured on a log sheet between 10:00 and 10:15, and deposited in the event box, on May 10, 2008.
***May 7 UPDATE*** At least 10 new caches have been hidden in the community and will be published and made active at event time, so plan on FTF hunts, and new caches proceeding the event! New Cache Coordinates will be made available at the event. 3 Caches contain unactivated TravelSlug Geocoins for the FTF honors!
Cheers and Cache on!
