Geocache Description:

Why Flash Mob? A Flash Mob is a spontaneous gathering that happens for a brief period of time and ends as quickly as it begins. The Geocaching community now recognizes this gathering as a special event. Cachers around the world will assemble May 4th 2013 to commemorate World Wide Flash Mob X. And, since it's the 4th of May and there's a new Star Wars movie in the works, we will take the chance to say: May the Fourth Be With You!

The Flash Mob will last for only 15 minutes, from 9:15 to 9:30 AM.

The event schedule is:

  • Before 9:15 - Hang out. "Be" a muggle. Don't talk to me, don't look at me. Pretend you like the flowers, the fountain, the storefront. Whatever you do, be as mugglish as possible and don't give away any hints as to the awesomeness that will soon follow!
  • 9:15 - You will hear the signal. Don't worry, if you're a Star Wars fan (and probably even if you're not), you'll know when it's time! Upon the signal, head for the fountain at the coordinates and put on your best Star Wars image. Nothing is mandatory, but costumes, light sabers, phasers, "pew pew" noises, Wookie calls, etc., are HIGHLY encouraged!

    Log sheets, pens and the official event "meal" will be distributed to everyone who is there. Make sure you get yours. We don't want any starving Jedi! And more importantly, no log, no smiley!

    Two buckets will be placed at Flash Mob Central (aka the fountain). Put your log in one. If you have any Travel Bugs or Geocoins, put them in the other. If you want to take a Travel Bug or Geocoin, check out what's been placed in the bucket! (NOTE: Excessive use of The Force to lift Travel Bugs or convince others that "this is not the Travel Bug you're looking for" will be penalized!)
  • 9:20 - A drawing will be held for FTF rights.
  • 9:22 - Gather around for the group photo. Assume your best Star Wars pose and become a part of posterity!
  • 9:30 - The Flash Mob is over, go away. Get in your X-Wing, landspeeder, or Tie Fighter and leave. Go shopping, go caching. You don't have to go home, but you can't stay. If you haven't had enough eventfulness, head over to the Fairfield County History Geo Trail Kickoff Event (GC41YCM) starting at 10 for more caching fun!

Be a part of the fun. Meet other cachers, share stories, and trade trackable items. Please do put a "Will Attend" log so we can get a good count. If you'd like to help out, send an email my way!
