Geocache Description:


FLASH IF YOU CACHE!

A Worldwide Flash Mob Event


This event is being held as part of the Worldwide Flash Mob Event sponsored by Podcacher. A flash mob is a large group of people who gather in a predetermined location, perform some brief action, and then quickly disperse. The entire event last 15 minutes.

This event is open to geocachers, their families and friends. The event location is accessible to all and is in a very public place. The larger the turnout, the better. The looks on muggles faces should be fun to watch!

Each person is asked to bring a flash light and an ink pen. Please park in a nearby parking lot AWAY from the event coordinates.

The event will begin precisely at 9:00 PM EST on Saturday, May 10, 2008 and will last exactly 15 minutes. To claim this event you must be present and sign the log sheet DURING the sign-in process. For that reason, we strongly suggest you arrive up to 15 minutes in advance.

Official Event Itinerary

8:45 - 8:58 pm - Use this time frame as your arrival to the area but DO NOT GATHER and stay away from the ground zero coordinates . Nonchalantly stroll around looking casual. Look like a muggle. Don't look like a gathering waiting to happen. Blend in to the area as realistically as you can. This is part of the fun. We will seem to appear out of no-where.

8:59 pm - Daggy and WCNUT will walk to event coordinates.

9:00 pm - At precisely 9:00 (GPS time) turn on your flashlight and continue to stroll around.

9:03 - 9:04 pm - At precisely 9:03 (GPS time) FREEZE and hold your pose for one full minute. A whistle will blow one time when time is up.

9:05 - 9:10 pm - Quickly make your way to the event coordinates and line up to get a log-in sheet. Please pick up one card per person. These cards will serve as the log book, drawing entry forms and the official head count for the event. Place your log sheet in the designated collection bin and grab a snack. Line up for a picture directly behind the collection bin (shorties in the front/giants in the back).

9:11 - 9:13 pm - Group photo.

9:14 pm - Drawing for door prize.

9:15 pm - Everyone should leave the area immediately. Please take different routes. Do not group together. Do not stay in the area. This should make the muggles wonder what in the heck just happened.

If muggles are curious about the event we will have a handout that explains geocaching. Just direct them to Daggy or WCNUT.

The event coordinators will be having dessert at 9:30 at the nearby pie kitchen. This is not part of the event, but everyone is welcome to join us.
