Geocache Description:

Its that time to gather again for a World Wide Flash Mob event! Bookmark this cache to catch any update as they are posted.

This flash mob event is part of a much larger effort by geocachers around the world. At 1 PM, EST, other World Wide Flash Mob (WWFM) events across the country and around the world will occur. Come and be a part of this epic event.

We'll be meeting at City Dock in Annapolis, MD. The event will last 15 minutes. When we're done, we can all go geocaching.

Here's the schedule of events*:

12:45 -12:59 PM - Participants: Wait patiently and/or stroll around the area. STAY AWAY from ground zero until the signal is given. As much as you can, act like a muggle, pretend not to know each other or give any indication that something is about to happen. At 12:59pm converge on ground zero. The Flash Mob Event has begun.

1:00 PM - A packet with a log sheet, your event meal, a pencil and an extra surprise will be handed out. Sign individual log sheets and drop them in the bucket. Another bucket will be available for coins and bugs. Mingle. Trade travel bugs and coins. Share stories. Brag. Take pictures. Make arrangements to meet elsewhere, or to find the various caches in the nearby area.

1:10 PM - Assemble for a group photo, and assemble FAST. Listen to the photographer for directions. Group photo is taken. At the same time we will be posing for the webcam. Couple 'o Cachers will be coordinating this event.

1:14 PM - One minute warning is called "It is now 1:14!" Prepare to leave. Prize Drawing!

1:15 PM EXACTLY - Wait for it ... then LEAVE the area (right at 1:15 PM)! Meet elsewhere if desired. The log sheet bucket will be packed up. If you log’s not in the bucket, you can't log the event.

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…This will be lots of fun and maybe even raise a few muggle eyebrows!

Be sure to sign a log card and put it in the bucket. We’ll be drawing for door prizes, such as FTF honors and perhaps a geocoin or two. That's worth the price of admission right there! Oh, wait, this is free. Oh well, it’s a good deal anyway.

Note: There's also a webcam cache here, so if we have our wits about us, we can log that as well.

Final Update+++++Final Update+++++Final Update

Okay, here's the deal:

I've got the packets ready to hand out. Didn't get the meal in time, so they will be handed out seperately.

When we start, take one packet per family, put your names on the card, and drop it in the bucket. I'll use this for the final count and for the raffle.

Enjoy your meal.

Couple 'o Cachers has volunteered to do the webcam thing for us with a laptop and aircard. I'll follow-up with then in an e-mail.

We need somebody to take the group picture. Will anybody be bringing the MGS Banner?

I have a coin to raffle off.

That's all I can think of for the moment. I'll post this on the event page as well.

Looking forward to seeing all of you there tomorrow.
