About the
Event:
Summary : The Basic Idea: A "Flash Mob"
Gathering of Geocachers.
Only 15 minutes
long! You MUST be present and sign a log sheet DURING this time to
claim the event. Please BYOP! (Bring your own pen)
The World Wide
Flash Mob Event: Dozens of events all around the world, coordinated
to happen at the same time to bring together geocachers and
introduce others (newbies) to the geocaching. You're heard of
MEGA-EVENTS? This is quite the opposite in a variety of ways. FLASH
MOBS have gathered for other reasons. Come be part of this historic
event!
This will be the
6th Edition!
The event will last EXACTLY 15 minutes, not one second
longer.
The event will begin precisely at 18:00 on November 14, 2009. The
event will be held at Praça do Rossio do Marquês do Pombal. You
will need a pillow.
Imagine you are a
muggle… You’re at Rossio and then, at the same time, everybody
around you is engaging on a Pillow Fight!! And just walks with it!
15mn later, the place is empty! What happened
here? |

The Plan
At exactly 17h55 you will aproach Ground Zero!!
At exactly 18:00
(as determined by the GPS clock) we will place a ammo box at the
coordinates. At this point, all geocachers will converge, seeming
to come out of "nowhere" and start a pillow fight.
Vsergio will hand out "log sheets". Participants will sign the log
sheets (which will later become a log book), to qualify for
attendance and drop them in a designated collection box. Bring a
pen.
At precisely
18:10, we will take a group photo.
At precisely
18:15 the ammo box, and the log sheets will be packed up and sealed
away. The event area will be vacated without a trace!!! Events that
happen after 18:15:01 do not count as part of THIS event.
Only those participants whose names appear on the log sheets may
log the event. |

Spread the
word
Tell your friends and help promote the event!
Note: Although
participants are welcome to get together after the event, the event
will officially be over at 18:15. Afterwards, at the meeting,
participants may chat, meet, eat and plan for a day of
caching!!!
I'm sure there
will be several muggles nearby who will wonder "What did I just
see? What just happened?" (That's part of the
fun!) |

structure borrowed last year from someone who borrowed it from
another geocacher, who had borrowed it from someone else . . . but
he can't remember who that was.
Thanks for the credits anyway. I also would like to thank Lopesco
for all the text :)
