WWFM III - World Wide Flash
Mob
Hats Off! Delaware Style
Be a
part of geocaching history!
This is a Flash Mob Gathering of
Geocachers
Only 15 minutes long! You MUST be present
and sign a log sheet DURING this time to claim the event. Please
BYOP! (Bring your own pen)
Summary: The basic
idea
This event is part of the WWFM III - World Wide Flash Mob
coordinated events (See growing bookmark list). Thousands of
geocachers at dozens of events all around the globe, gathering
at the same time.
The WWFMs are coordinated geocaching events originally started by
Sonny & Sandy of podcacher fame. The event will last exactly 15
minutes, not one second longer.
The Plan:
The event will BEGIN EXACTLY at: 1:00 PM EST on
Saturday, May 10, 2008 and Will END EXACTLY 1:15 PM EST.
Prizes for Best
Hat!
Prior to the event:
Drive to
the coordinates and park nearby. Either stay in your car or get out
of your car and pretend you are a muggle. Act like you don't know
anyone else. At exactly 1:00 PM as determined by the GPS clock,
Runfrog will place a bucket on the ground at the designated
coordinates to signify the start of the event.
At 1:00 Log sheets will be
handed out. BYOP.
Participants: fill out log sheets and drop them in the collection
box. Then mingle and chat with your fellow cachers. Exchanging of
trackables, swag, teaming up for additional caches, and other
geocache-related activities are of course allowed & expected.
At 1:06 Participants: Follow
RunFrog to the feeding area for the official "meal" of Hershey's
Kisses. Make sure to CITO your foil wrappers.
At 1:08 Participants: Follow
RunFrog to the photo area and assemble FAST. Listen to the
photographer for directions.
At 1:12 Participants: Go back to
the starting point for the Prize Raffle Drawing - including a
raffle for FTF honors and most original hat.
At 1:14 Runfrog will blow a
whistle (if he remembers to bring it) to indicate a one minute
warning. Log slips will be pulled for the door prizes. Clean up and
prepare to leave. Participants: Prep to leave, but don't "look"
like you are prepping. (You might want to "secretly" organize where
you will re-form after dispersal.)
At 1:15 EXACTLY Participants:
Wait for it ... then LEAVE the area (right at 1:15 in a disorderly
manner / different directions) and meet elsewhere if desired. We
want to clear the video taping area (we will continue to tape for a
minute or so) to show us "vacate". The bucket of swag will be
packed up The table and signage will be packed up The log sheet
collection box will be packed up and sealed We will leave the area
to go ... elsewhere.
At 1:17 Videographers will end
the taping Difficulty rating of 2 reflects the 15 minute allotted
time period in which to claim the cache. If you aren't prompt you
could miss it. If your name is not on a log sheet you will not be
able to log the event. If everything goes right we will have
several people converging on one spot for a 15 minute geocaching
event and then disappearing. This could be lots of fun and maybe
even raise a few muggle eyebrows. We'll have info available for any
muggle that happens upon the event.
Note: Although participants are welcome to get together after the
event, the event will officially be over at 1:15. Afterwards,
participants may chat, meet, eat and plan for a day of caching. We
recommend meeting at GC14RF7 'Every Cache Needs a Cow' for some ice
cream after the event.
