Geocache Description:

Based on an event that the FlyinV's have had annually since 2005 and part of a worldwide multi-event, please join us on 09-09-09 @ 09:09:09 PM in Hagerstown, MD. Please note that THIS event will be taking place in the EVENING!!!

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 gather at a location, perform some brief action, and then quickly disperse.

Rain or shine, this event WILL take place.

The event will last exactly nine minutes and ninety-nine seconds, not one second longer. It begins at precisely at 09:09:09 PM on Wednesday September 9th, 2009 in Hagerstown, MD.

At exactly 09:09:09 PM (as determined by your GPS clock) we will place a flag and a container near the the coordinates given . As you arrive a volunteer from Team LPYankeeFan will hand you a log sheet to sign. Bring your own pen. Put the completed sheet into the container. Only people who attend the event and have their names on a log sheet in the box will be able to log this as an event.The log sheets will later become the log book for the event. Anyone else claiming the event will have their log entry deleted.

Itinery:
8:50 - 09:09:08 PM: Arrive in the general area. Hang around looking like a muggle, but most importantly STAY AWAY FROM GROUND ZERO.

09:09:09 PM - A container will be placed at the coordinates, this signals the start of the event. Quickly go to the coordinates provided for this event, grab a name tag and log sheet. Complete the sheet and put it into the container.

09:11 PM - A light snack and drink will be served. If any muggles are curious about the event we will have a volunteer hand out fliers that explain geocaching. There may be several muggles nearby who will wonder "What did I just see? What just happened?" (That's part of the fun!)

09:14 PM - A group photo will be taken. Listen to the photographer for directions.

09:16 PM - A name drawn from the container will be called out and this person will be FTF for the event.

09:18:48 PM - Mrs. LPYankeeFan will announce 1 minute to go. The container is sealed.

09:19:48 PM - lpyankeefan will call out “Thanks for coming… see you soon” and this signals the end of the event. Quicky leave the area in a disorganized manner.

Events that happen after 09:19:49 are not part of this event.

Please come and join us and make this event a success. If you are attending please put a watch on this page so you will be notified of any changes in our plans.

Cost:
ABOSULTELY NOTHING for the event!!!

I will be supplying everything for the flashmob!

Extra things to keep in mind:

If you pick up a Travel Bug or trackable coin at one of the events, make sure you log it out so it doesn't show up in the events list. If a trackable sits as being listed in the event for a couple of months, the cache owner is the one that gets the e-mail from the TB owner(s).
Each person attending will be responsible for any costs incurred for food and drinks not supplied at the event.

FTF honors go to hkids4!!! Congratulations Darrin!!!
