About the
Event
This event is being held in conjunction with over
80 other World Wide Flash Mob (WWFM) events that will be held
simultaneously on five continents, nine countries, eight Canadian
providences and thirty two states!.(Really,
check out the list of events!) Come be a part of a worldwide
caching event, with potentially thousands of participants! You can
check out footage of a similar event held this past May to see what
you're in for by clicking HERE.
You've heard of mega-events? This is quite the
opposite in a variety of ways. The event will last exactly 15
minutes, not one second longer. The event will begin PRECISELY at
11:00 am Central Time (by using the clock on GPS receivers) on
Saturday 10 November 2007.
Before 11:00 AM, mill about and pretend to be
muggles, admiring the beautiful park on a hopefully beautiful
day!
11:00 AM - The Swag Bucket "drops" and the cache
box for your log sheets opens! Log sheets will be handed out.
Bring your own writing instrument. Sign individual log
sheets and drop them in the collection box.(The Log Sheets are also
your entry into a drawing for prizes!) Mix and Mingle with other
cachers, trade swag (and maybe bugs?), etc!
11:08 AM - The event meal will be
served.
11:13 AM - Assemble for and take group
photo.
11:14 AM - One minute warning is called "It is
now 11:14!" Prepare to leave.
11:15 AM - LEAVE the area!
Log sheets will be sent to
Podcacher for a drawing from the prize vault!
About Spanish
Plaza
Spanish Plaza sits adjacent to the Mobile Civic
Center and in between the Mobile Mardi Gras Museum and the Mobile
Chamber of Commerce.
Spanish Plaza honors the Spanish occupation of
the city between 1780 and 1813. A statue of Queen Isabella stands
here, an exhibit from the 1964-65 New York World's Fair.
The easiest way to get to Spanish Plaza to to
take I-10 to the Water Street Exit (which is right before the
tunnel if you are coming from the West or right after if you are
coming from the East.) Once you are on Water Street take a left
onto Government Street. (It should be the left in between Exploreum
and the Riverview Plaza Hotel - I believe it's the first left.)
Spanish Plaza will be a few blocks down on your left - there should
be parking around the perimeter, but be advised the North and South
streets are one way.
Some of the verbiage on this event was taken from
other WWFM events.
If you are considering
attending, please add this event to your watchlist in case any
information changes.
If you would like to have lunch following the
event at one of the restaurants on the bay, shoot me a message and
we'll try to pull something together.

Hope to see you
there!
