Geocache Description:

8th World Wide Flash Mob Event (WWFM)


Why Flash Mob? Why Athens, Ohio? A Flash Mob is a spontaneous gathering that happens for a brief period of time and ends as quickly as it begins. The Geocaching community now recognizes this gathering as a special event. Cachers around the world will assemble at precisely the same time on June 4, 2011 to commemorate World Wide Flash Mob VIII. Here in Athens, we're going to give every attendee their 15 minutes of fame and treat like royalty, crown included! (Pending coordination with the Monarch of Ground Cow Flesh.)

The Flash Mob will last for only 15 minutes. Please observe the schedule so that you do not miss out!

  • 1:00 – Gather at College Gate and grab/don crown (please do not hang out here beforehand; mill about the area instead)
  • 1:00-1:10 – Group march up Court Street to the Athens County Courthouse. Immediately upon arrival, deposit your log in the cache bucket (GC.com logs without a supporting log sheet will be deleted – no exceptions)
  • 1:10 – Group photo will be taken at the Athens County Courthouse steps (do not delay or you miss out)
  • 1:14 – Drawings from logs for FTF, STF, and TTF (with prizes)
  • 1:15 – The Flash Mob ends and everyone departs the area. You don't have to leave town, but you can't stay there. The event is over, done, kaputsky. However, you are more than welcome to explore our local caches!

There is plenty of available parking in and around campus. However, most spots require paying a parking meter. Athens is VERY efficient in terms of monitoring meters (i.e., heavy fines for expired meters). If on-street parking is not available, consider the city parking garage on Washington Street. Be a part of the fun. Meet other cachers, share stories, and trade trackable items. Who knows, we may even get the chance to see the famous/infamous Paul Titus! A very limited number of Flash Mob Geocoins may be available for purchase.

Congratulations to fishingohio for earning the FTF! Also, big congratulations to our winners:

  • Clan RunningBison - $25 Amazon Gift Certificate
  • Sissyta - STF and a Geocoin
  • PBump - TTF and a little Geocoin
Watch the video of the royal procession.

And watch your souvenir page - rumor has it that a special surprise may show up soon!
