Saturday 9 June at 1:00pm
You've heard of MEGA-EVENTS? This is quite the opposite in a variety of ways. A flash mob is a large group of people who assemble suddenly in a public place, do something unusual for a brief period of time, then quickly disperse.
WWFM IX (World Wide Flash Mob #9 Event)
*Dozens of events all around the world
*Thousands of geocachers participating
*Coordinated to happen at the same time all around the world
*These events will last EXACTLY 15 minutes, not one second longer.
Tell your friends and help promote the event!
There may be several muggles nearby who will wonder "What did I just see? What just happened?" That's part of the fun!
This Louisville edition of the WWFM is being presented by the Louisville Flash Mob Society (LFMS) and will take place at the Lincoln statue at the Waterfront Park. Bring a tophat if you have one - otherwise we'll provide as many as we're able. There is ample free parking and you can enjoy the park before and/or after the flash mob if you'd like.
The Plan
Before 1:00: Mill around inconspicuously in the area but not at GZ.
1:00: An ammo can will be set on the ground at GZ. At that very moment, the flashing, I mean caching, will begin.
1:01: Grab a log, a hat (if you need one), and a "meal" (hope you're not too hungry!). Please bring your own pen.
1:03: Swap geo stories and trackables if you have them
1:07: Put log sheets in the ammo can
1:09: Drawing for a beautiful prize - this year's WWFM coin!
1:11: Group photo - we're going to all pose like the statue on the steps surrounding him
1:15: Leave the area like nothing happened
Just like last year, Groundspeak has authorized a special "souvenier" to all those who have logged "attended" on a WWFM event! How cool is that?
