Don’t forget World Wide Flash Mob in the Capitol City this Saturday. I plan to go shoot the video for the foray. I’ll post it when it is completed. For more details, click here chumps. Here is the cut-n-paste from the geocaching site.
This event will be one small part of the WWFM 4 (World-Wide Flash Mob). This event and all others around the globe in their respective time zone will begin precisely at 1 pm EST on Saturday, November 8, 2008.
This Flash Mob Geocache event will last exactly 15 minutes – not a second longer. You MUST be present and sign a log sheet DURING this time to claim this event.
For those that don’t know – 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, and then quickly disperse. Go here to get an idea of what you can generally expect: (visit link)
ITINERARY:
12:45 PM – 12:59 PM – Participants wait patiently and/or stroll around the area. STAY AWAY from ground zero until the signal is given. Best as you can, act like a muggle, pretend not to know each other or give any indication that something is about to happen. At 12:59 PM slowly begin to move towards ground zero.
1:00 PM – Music will play – everyone will converge right at ground zero. Log slips will be handed out – Bring your own pen or pencil. Sign individual log slip and drop it in the collection box. Next – turn to someone close by and “swag swap” or trade “trackables” if you so chose.
1:08 PM – Group picture takes place. Listen carefully and follow all directions given by photographer quickly as to where to line up.
1:12 PM – The event meal will be held (Hershey’s Kisses), and mingling can take place. The FTF name drawing will be held.
1:14 PM – One minute warning is announced: “It is now 1:14. Prepare to leave!” Organizers will seal up log container for transport.
1:15 PM EXACTLY – Everyone leave immediately! Meet elsewhere if desired (** see below).
This event will be held rain or shine – please come prepared for the elements.
We would like to have a general idea of how many to expect – so please write a note here and let us know if you and others will be attending the event.
We are hoping to surpass 55 people at this event – so please SPREAD the word!*** Below are the coordinates to the after-flashmob event where people can get together for a short time and chat alittle. I will be bringing BBQ sandwiches and ask that attendees bring other foods to share with the group. If you can’t – no problem – come anyway! Note: these coordinates will only get you close – if you get to them and look straight ahead you will see where we will be – and it will be a good spot if there is bad weather. You will need to cicle underneath the interstate to get there. Here they are: N 38 21. 379 W 081 38.750 If you plan to be at the after-party – please let us know what you may bring and I will post a list for ease of viewing, and to avoid duplication.
IMPORTANT NOTES: 1) The Coordinates may change ever so slightly 2) To keep up with any news or changes – make sure to put this page on your watchlist and check back often for updates. Check this cache page the morning of November 8th to confirm all information. 3) If you would like to volunteer – please let me know. My biggest need will be for a videographer who can record the event – and be able to upload it to the internet.
