Flash Mob
"Laughter is the best medicine"
Sometimes the wonderful world of Geocaching can
temporally take
over our lives and it is quite easy to forget that it's meant to be
fun and recreational
We sometimes forget that it is just a game.
Well this flash mob is just the Medicine you need!
You will have a laugh, you may even be laughed at.
But that's OK, At the end of the 10 minutes and 10 seconds
you will leave with a smile on your face.
We spend our whole geocaching careers, trying to avoid
the "Muggles"
Today, we will do the opposite, and see if we can attract a
few.
This is 1 of only 3 times this Event
will EVER work.
It will happen this year and again
November 11th, 2011
and
December 12th,2012
SO
On October 10th, 2010 (10-10-10)
in the 10th year of Geocaching
From 10:00 am to 10:10:10 am
You can be part of this rare event
You will also be participating in one
of the many 10-10-10 events taking
place world wide.
So what is a Flash Mob you
ask.
Well it is a bunch of people, whom on command, form a mob
at a designates location, to do something a bit silly or out of the
ordinary
at a designated time, for a specific amount of time
then just as they arrived out of nowhere, they depart just the same
way.
Search the term "Flash Mob" on a video
site
you will then understand .
Itinerary for this event.

Here is how it will work.
You will arrive NEAR GZ,
but not at GZ sometime before 10:00 am.
Please do not approach GZ until I give the signal.
Wander around, and blend in.
Act like a muggle..
Now pay close attention to the
following times.
10:00 am SHARP
By my watch, I will be at GZ,
Which is at the Rotary Park Monument
I will place an ammo can at my feet.
I will give 1 long blow on a whistle.
As fast as you can, and as loud as you can rush to GZ
Grab an attendance card and a piece of candy from the ammo
can.
This is your event meal, draw ticket and official log in for the
event.
10:02 am
Print your caching name on your ticket
Meet and greet, yea most of us will already know
everyone at the event, but take this opportunity to shake
everyone's hand
Yep, introduce your self to every-one, and shake hands
even if you have been friends for a long time.
That should raise a few eyebrows and get a few chuckles
10:04 am
A blow of the
whistle
I will ask everyone to place your tickets into the ammo can.
Timing is everything, and the mass confusion will be
hilarious.
10:06 am
A whistle blow and start the TB trading
Got a coin or TB to
share, now is the time
you have 1 minute to get it done, so hurry
10:07 am
Draw for prizes,
Prizes for FTF, 2TF and 3TF will be
drawn, be very quiet during this time
Listen for your name, grab your prize fast as you can
if your name is called
10:08 am
Event Photo
I will yell PHOTO
Turn towards the large Play Structure
Look at the camera
and pose quickly
We only have 2 minutes get this done.
We want 1 serious picture and
1 well, you know an odd one, poke out
your tongue
make that silly peace sign over the head of the person in front of
you
Be creative, be silly and have fun with it.
10:10 am
I will give a 3 quick blasts of the whistle
at this time we will all Cheer
1,2,3, GEOCACHING
as loud as we can.
As soon as this chant is over 10:10:10
SHARP I hope,
I will remove the ammo can and leave.
Immediately depart the area, and have a
Great Thanksgiving Sunday.
Don't look back!!

Bring Jr. Cachers to my van afterwards
so they can grab a prize from Coman's
treasure box.
