World Wide Flash Mob


This is a Flash Mob Event, part of the World Wide Flash Mob occurring simultaneously around the globe organized by iTrax and Foxtail of PodCacher. WWFM 2007 is the biggest geocaching event worldwide. It is even larger and more popular than mega events like Geowoodstock. Now's your chance to attend a World Wide Flash Mob event and share in a part of geocaching history.


DATE: Saturday, November 10, 2007
TIME: 12:00 PM to 12:15 PM (only 15 minutes!)
WHERE: The Old Seed House Garden (it's a park). Parking Lot entrance is off of Maple Ave.
PARKING: If the parking lot is full, then park on one of the nearby side streets or by the Catholic High School on Guelph St (Hwy 7). Do no park on Maple Ave.
GATHERING SPOT: Look for the familiar gc.com logo on a large sign\banner. We'll be on the little sloping hill with the 3 big rocks on top that backs onto Maple Ave...just go where everyone else goes!

This Flash Mob gathering of geocachers will be only 15 minutes long. Please post a WILL ATTEND log at some point between now and no later than noon on the day of the event. You must be present and sign the log sheet DURING the 15 minutes of the event to claim this event as a find on geocaching.com. After 15 minutes…Everyone will be 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 12:00PM EST on Saturday, November 10th.

At exactly 12:00 PM (as determined by my GPS clock) someone will hold up a sign, a container for log sheets will be placed nearby. It is now time to converge to this location. As you arrive, please be sure to take a "log sheet." Sign your log sheet and drop them into the designated log container. Bring your own pen. At the designated times indicated below, we will have a “feast” and will take a group photo. At exactly 12:15PM, 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.

Signed Log Sheets go in the Blue bucket.
Travel Bugs and Geocoins go in the Red bucket.

Schedule of events:
Before 12:00 - Wait patiently in your vehicles or wander around the area and enjoy the nice park. Or perhaps even try your hand at the cache (GCZZXW) located in this park. However, whatever you do, DO NOT socialize with any other geocachers. Keep to yourself. Do not talk to anyone else. Mind your own business. Pretend you don't know anyone. And most importantly, do not bother the rabbit.

12:00 - Start of event. Look for a familiar Geocaching sign and gather around. Take a log sheet, sign it and drop it into the designated log container. Socialize with other geocachers.

12:08 - Time to enjoy a wonderful feast. Food will be served. It will be a delicious 1 course meal. (Probably halloween candy).

12:12 - Assemble for a group photo, and assemble FAST. Listen to the photographer for directions. Group photo is taken.

12:14 - Get ready to leave. Start saying your good-byes.

12:15 - LEAVE! GO! DEPART! VACATE! No one knows you! Get as far away as possible! Do not mingle or chit-chat! The log sheet container will be packed up. If you don't get your log in it in time, you can't log the event. Anyone caught loitering in the event area after the event will not be able to log the event. If you want to continue with the other cache in the park, go away and come back in 5 minutes.

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 just as quickly…This should be lots of fun and maybe even raise a few muggle eyebrows!
