I've hosted 3 cookie mobs for the holidays in past cities, and thought it was time to host one here. So here it is! Thought this would be a good busy place to get a few "What the..." glances from the muggles. Looking forward to meeting lots of SF geocachers! Cookies, cachers, and Cache-mas!
This will take at Dolores Park. Remember, since it's a flashmob event, you should be wandering throughout the park "blending in" up until precisely 12pm. Please do not congregate!!!
Who doesn't LOVE COOKIES!? This event is a holiday cookie exchange event. Please bring 2-3 dozen cookies to be swapped. The more you bring, the more you can swap for! You'll start out with just your own, but should go home with a plethora of different types of cookies.
What to bring
- 2-3 dozen cookies
- an empty tupperware container to swap your new cookies into
- an index card with your caching name on it
This is a Flashmob event, so it is important that everyone follow these instructions precisely. It is recommended that you get to the event early and mill around the park like a muggle, as flashmobs require very precise timing!
Schedule:
At precisely 12pm
We will appear carrying a couple of buckets, one for TB/coin swaps and one for log sheets. When we place these on the ground, that'll be the signal that the fun has begun. Please bring an index card or a piece of paper with your screenname on it to throw into the log bucket. This is also the time to be swapping TBs and coins. If you don’t put an index card in the bucket, you cannot claim to have attended.
At 12:02, we will gather around a table and take a group photo.
At 12:07, we will begin swapping of cookies. Please bring an empty tupperware container to swap INTO and use your existing tupperware to swap OUT.
At 12:15, the event is over. Walk off in a random direction, dispersing in varying directions as if nothing had happened!
Enjoy your cookies!
If you're not a cookie baker, bring some other type of holiday treat that can be swapped (at equivalent value to a cookie of course).I have heard that
NOTE: This is a family friendly event, so please leave any "adult only" cookies at home.
