Update 4/29 - Bring your crazy hats and your camera! Remember,
stay stealthy until the event starts!
~~PRELIMINARY INFORMATION~~ This event is a "Flash Mob"
gathering of geocachers, only 15 minutes long! To claim the event,
you must be present and sign a log sheet during this time. (Hence
the difficulty level of 2.) "WWFM" stands for the World Wide Flash
Mob event: Hundreds of events all around the world, coordinated to
happen at the same time to bring together geocachers and introduce
others (non-geocachers) to geocaching.
You've heard of MEGA-EVENTS... This is quite the opposite in a
variety of ways. Sort of like a MICRO-EVENT. Come be part of this
historic experience!
The event will begin precisely at 1:00pm on May 2, 2009 and will
last EXACTLY fifteen minutes, not one second longer.
EVENT DETAILS Since this Flash Mob event is in Monument Square,
I recommend you arrive with enough time to spare to not only find a
parking spot but to then walk to the event.
Remember to pretend you are a non-cacher, and to act like you
don't know any of the other geocachers present.
At 12:59 PM - Make your way to the designated event coordinates
shown above. Keep acting like you know no one.
1:00 PM - At exactly 1:00 PM as determined by the GPS clock, I
will pull out the cache container at the designated coordinates to
signify the start of the flash mob. You may then converge on the
area for the official event. Sign individual log sheets and drop
them in the marked log sheet container. There will also be a large
container for trackables. Then mingle and chat with your fellow
cachers until the start of the main attraction.
1:05 PM - At exactly 1:05 PM as determined by the GPS clock, I
will signal a second time to signify the start of the next phase of
the event - put on your crazy, wild hat and start taking
pictures of each other for 5 minutes. The sillier the
better!
1:10 PM - At exactly 1:10 PM as determined by the GPS clock, I
will signal a third time to signify the end of the themed activity.
Immediately assemble for and take group photo. After the
photo briefly mingle and chat.
1:14 PM - One minute warning is called. Clean up and prepare to
leave.
1:15 PM - LEAVE the area immediately! Take off your hat...Log
entries sealed and closed. If you missed the signing and the photo,
you missed the event. THE END.
