This Flash Mob gathering of geocachers will be only 15 minutes
long. You MUST be present and sign the log sheet
DURING this time to claim this event. After 15 minutes …
we're gone!
The event is one small part of the WWFM V (World Wide Flash Mob
event) coordinated and in conjunction with the San Diego WWFM V
hosted by iTrax and FoxTail but since Australia is some 17 hours
ahead of Pacific Daylight Saving Time rather than holding our event
simultaneously with the US event at 0300 on Sunday morning this
event is at a much more user friendly time
AGENDA
Participants casually position themselves at various locations
around the Victoria Market precinct within sight of but not at
GZ
0959 - 1000
Casually make your way towards GZ but as much as you can, act
like a muggle, pretend not to know each other or give any
indication that something is about to happen but STAY AWAY from
ground zero until your GPSr clock tells you it's 1000
EXACTLY
1000
Everyone arrives at GZ. Facitman & Rhinogeo will be there
with an Ammo Box. As you arrive, you will be handed a log sheet.
Participants will sign the log sheets (which will later become the
log book). To qualify for attendance, drop the completed logsheet
back in the Ammo Box
1000 - 1010
Mingle. Meet old friends and make new ones. Share stories.
Compare this event to WWFM II held at 4:00 am on Remembrance Day,
WWFM III at Federation Square and WWFM IV at the State Library. But
be quick - there is not much time!
1010 - 1013
Participants assemble for the traditional WWFM group photos and
to record the group cheerios for Sonny, Sandy and Spindoc Bob
1013 - 1014
A logsheet will be drawn from the Ammo Box to award FTF honours
to one of the participants
1014
One minute warning announced - Prepare to leave
1015 EXACTLY
IMMEDIATELY LEAVE the area. The event area will be evacuated
without a trace. The log ammo box will be packed up. If you didn't
get to it in time you can't log the event. Only those participants
whose names appear on the log sheets may log this event
If everything goes right we will have had people coming out of
nowhere and gathering for 15 minutes, holding a geocaching event
and then disappearing
For the Flash Mob to have its full effect, it must appear to
come from nowhere and disappear just as quickly
We had a great turnout with 54 geocaching teams making it the
best attended event held in Australia so far
