Flash Mob
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.
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 .

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 upside down cow
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 treat from the ammo can.
This is your official log in for the event.
10:02 am
Print your caching name on your ticket
Meet and greet, yes 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
10:08 am
Event Photo
I will yell PHOTO
Move together in front of the upside down cow
Look at the camera
and pose quickly
We only have 2 minutes get this done.
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, I will remove the ammo can and leave.
Immediately depart the area, and
move to any of the nice coffee shops or restaurants in the
Mall.
Don't look back!!
So how can you make this event
successful
Here are some tips.
Sign up early on the cache
page
Please let me know how many will be
attending
Bring everyone you can drag out.
Bring a pen or pencil, if you do not have a
ticket in the Ammo Can by
10:10:10 am, you can not log this event.
Bring a coin or TB to share or trade
Smile and laugh a lot, it will drive the
muggles crazy LOL
We want to see how many
geocachers can go Geocaching on a single
day!
We've chosen 10-10-10,
since the date represents 10 years of geocaching and 10 years of
Groundspeak in 2010.
Let's see if we can beat
the previous record of 56,654 accounts logging on April 18, 2010.
Even one log counts since we are counting how many accounts
log a cache rather than the number of caches
logged.
