WWFM IV - Whistle While You Work - Midlands, SC Event Cache

~~PRELIMINARY
INFORMATION~~

This
event is a "Flash Mob" gathering of geocachers, only 15 minutes
long!

To
claim the event, you must be present and sign a log sheet during
this time. (Hence the difficulty level of
2.)

"WWFM"
stands for the World Wide Flash Mob
event:

Hundreds
of events all around the world, coordinated to happen at the same
time to bring together geocachers and introduce others
(non-geocachers) to geocaching.

You've
heard of MEGA-EVENTS...

This
is quite the opposite in a variety of ways.

Sort of like a MICRO-EVENT.

FLASH MOBS have gathered for other reasons.

Come be part of this historic experience!

The event will begin precisely at 1:00pm on November 8, 2008 and
will last EXACTLY fifteen minutes, not one second
longer.

EVENT
DETAILS

• 
  
• Since this Flash Mob event is in Gaston with plenty of parking. I recommend you arrive with enough time
  to spare to not only find a parking spot but to then walk to the event. Remember to pretend you are a non-cacher, and to act like you don't know any of the other geocachers present. Definitely keep your whistle(s) hidden.

• 
  
• At 12:59 PM - Make your way to the designated
  event coordinates shown above. Keep acting like you know no one.
  

• 
  
• 1:00 PM - At exactly 1:00 PM as determined by the
  GPS clock, I will blow a whistle at the designated coordinates to
  signify the start of the flash mob. You may then converge on the
  area for the official event. Loot bags will be handed out with a
  nametag and crayon, snack, CITO bag and colored log sheet.
  Sign individual log sheets and drop them in the marked log sheet
  container. There will also be a large container for trackables.
  Then mingle and chat with your fellow cachers until the start of
  the main attraction. And try to keep your whistle(s)
  hidden.

• 
  
• 1:05 PM - At exactly 1:05 PM as determined by the
  GPS clock, I will blow the whistle a second time to signify the
  start of the CITO and Whistling. The cleanup will last for five
  minutes.

• 
  
• 1:10 PM - At exactly 1:10 PM as determined by the
  GPS clock, I will blow the whistle a third time to signify the end
  of the CITO and Blowing. Immediately assemble for and take group
  photo. After the photo briefly mingle and chat. I will be raffling off 2 items and for FTF honors

• 
  
• 1:14 PM - One minute warning is called. Clean up
  and prepare to leave.

• 
  
• 1:15 PM - LEAVE the area immediately! AMSCRAY and
  SKEDADDLE! Log entries sealed and closed. If you missed the signing
  and the photo, you missed the event. Your whistle(s) must be
  visible in the official event photo to log the event.

THE END.

There will be printed
copies of this ultra-precise itinerary distributed at the event as
well as geocaching brochures for any non-cachers curious about our
activities.

The first Flash Mob
Cache Event --

First Flash Mob Cache Event -- was hosted by

iTrax and FoxTail on May 20 2007 in San
Diego. [Click
here to
see a four minute video of that first event.] There were about
twenty other events held concurrently in different states and
countries. The second edition -- now termed "WWFM" -- included over
80 events across nine countries, and 33 US states. The third
edition totaled 167 events in 15 countries and 45 US states (and
two US territories).

One of the aims of the WWFM
events is to have geocaching groups around the world assembling at
the same time. The vast majority of events for this third edition
have been scheduled to begin at the local equivalent of 1pm
Eastern. (For example, 1pm in Gaston is 10am in California is
7pm in Zurich.) Come on down and join thousands of geocachers
around the world!

In your "Will Attend" log
please post the projected number in your
group.
