A Flash Mob is a large group of people who assemble suddenly in a public place, do something unusual for a brief period of time, and then quickly disperse.
DATE : Saturday, November 10, 2007
TIME: 9 AM to 9:15 AM (only 15 minutes!)
WHERE: Reno Downtown Harrahs Plaza

This Flash Mob Gathering of Geocachers will be only 15 minutes long. You MUST be present and sign the log sheet DURING this time to claim this event. After 15 minutes…we're gone!
This event will last exactly 15 minutes, not one second longer! This event will be one small part of the WWFM (world-wide flash mob event). This event (and all others around the globe in their respective time zone) will begin precisely at 9:00AM on Saturday, November 10th.
At exactly 9:00 AM (as determined by your GPS clock) a bucket for log sheets will be placed near the coordinates. As you arrive, you’ll be handed a "log sheet." Participants will sign the log sheets (which will later become the log book). To qualify for attendance, drop them in the designated bucket. Bring your own pen – in fact, why not bring your own slip of paper with only your trail name written on it, legibly enough for others to decipher. Names will be drawn from the bucket of log sheets for the FTF, 2TF and 3TF prizes. These will be posted on Cache Page.
At a designated time, we will have a “banquet” and will take a group photo. At exactly 9:15AM, the log sheets will be packed up and sealed away. The event area will be evacuated without a trace. Only those participants whose names appear on the log sheets may log THIS event. This WILL be enforced!!
ITINERARY:
8:45 - 8:59 AM - Participants: Wait patiently and/or stroll around the area. STAY AWAY from ground zero until the signal is given. As much as you can, act like a muggle, pretend not to know each other or give any indication that something is about to happen. At 8:59AM converge on ground zero. The Flash Mob Event has begun.
9:00 AM - Log sheets will be handed out for those who did not bring their own. Bring your own writing instrument. Sign individual log sheets and drop them in the collection box. Mingle. Trade travel bugs and coins. Share stories. Brag. Take pictures. Make arrangements to meet elsewhere, or to find the various caches in the nearby area.
9:08 AM - The event “banquet” will be served! (Don’t get excited, it’s just hard candy.)
9:11 AM - Prize draws
9:13 AM - Assemble for a group photo, and assemble FAST. Listen to the photographer for directions. Group photo is taken.
9:14 AM - One minute warning is called "It is now 9:14!" Prepare to leave.
9:15AM EXACTLY - Wait for it ... then LEAVE the area (right at 9:15 AM)! Meet elsewhere if desired. The log sheet bucket will be packed up. If the sheet's not in the bucket, you can't log the event.
If everything goes right we will have lots of people coming out of nowhere and gathering for 15 minutes, holding a geocaching event and then disappearing…This will be lots of fun and maybe even raise a few muggle eyebrows!
