Mob Gathering of Geocachers

Summary: The Basic
Idea
This event is part of the
WWFM VIII - 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
Join us in Balboa Park
(near the Botanical Building) for a fast, fun event, featuring YOU
as a group of street musicians playing in a Kazoo
Band
NOTE: Ground zero for the flash mob is on the left side of the
Botanical Building - NOT at the location of the above
photograph
Stick around afterwards to enjoy the Park
or join a group to go geocaching nearby!
The
Plan
The event will begin precisely at 10:00am on Saturday,
June 4.
An Orange Bucket placed on ground zero will signal the start of the
event!!!
The event will be facilitated by volunteers. If you'd like to be a
WWFM volunteer, please contact us (podcacher@gmail.com) and let us
know.
Prior to the start time, mosey and wander about non-challantly ...
Then when the bucket is set down ... converge on the Ground
Zero!
There are many free parking
lots in Balboa Park.
YOU WILL NEED A PEN or PENCIL to sign a log
sheet.
There will be an event "meal", group photo, and raffle for
very cool prizes.
Kazoos will be provided (while supplies last) - and we will
practice a few short songs that everyone will know. Then we'll walk
down toward the street in front of the reflecting pool (additional
waypoint), and provide a few minutes of entertainment for the
passers-by. After which, we will scatter in all directions leaving
them to wonder, what just happened?!?
