Hey Everyone - Just wanted to let you all know that there will be another Flash Mob event on Saturday November 14th - 10:00 am at Balboa Park, near the International Cottages. This is the 6th world-wide event. We decided kind-of last minute to have one here in San Diego again - but there are already 133+ events planned in 20 countries on the same day and mostly at the same time. Come and join the fun! Stay after the event to enjoy Balboa Park or join a smaller group to grab some nearby caches. WWFM VI Event Page Sonny, Sandy and Sean Team PodCacher

Listen to the One Minute How To podcast with my segment about geocaching http://bit.ly/sBlvO This just might bring a few muggles into the game!

2008 was a very special year for us, but also very busy - so the 2008 Official PodCacher geocoins were not finished until early 2009. They are now available for sale in antique bronze finish. The coin highlights the arrival of our baby boy Sean - there's a stork flying away with an empty carrier and Sean has joined us on our geocaching hike in the backpack. As always, there is the glow-in-the-dark sun, sparkling ocean water, sandy beach and treasure chest. The coins are trackable at geocaching.com PodCacher coins are always popular and sure to be a collectors item. Order yours now! Ordering Information Sonny, Sandy and Sean (Team PodCacher)

According to Aaron at CoinsAndPins.com, "The ship date for the coins currently says 24 April, but we hope to have them shipping before then if all goes well."

We are excited to announce that the WWFM V Event Geocoin is now available for pre-sale! Order them through CoinsAndPins.com on their pre-sale page Ribbons of color to shape a globe, a compass rose flashing with glow-in-the-dark lightning bolts, a sparkly rhinestone "bling" in the center - all of this and more is found in the official WWFM V Geocoin, available for a limited time. On May 2nd, the 5th WWFM will happen all around the world - and this is only the second time that a WWFM Geocoin has been created. Perfect for event giveaways, volunteer thank-you's, to send traveling the globe or to keep as a special memento. Get yours today, they'll be gone in a Flash!!! * Measures 1.75" diam * Hard enamel colors * Trackable on Geocaching.com with a unique icon To see the current list of WWFM V events, scheduled for May 2, 2009 - check out this Bookmark List

Hey Everyone, Just wanted to give a heads-up that the next WWFM (World-Wide Flash Mob) event (WWFM V) is scheduled for Saturday, May 2, 2009 at 10:00 am. Last time we inadvertently conflicted with another big event because we didn't get it posted soon enough - so we wanted to give plenty of notice this time! We hope to have the San Diego WWFM V posted as an event by early March. At the WWFM IV last November, we had almost 7500 total participants at 154 events across 20 countries. WWFM V should be even bigger. There's also an official geocoin in the works (we'll post on the Geocoin thread when it is available). Looking forward to a fun event!

Mine just arrived too. Thanks, Nate!!

Who is your ISP? If the PQs ran, they are probably being throttled or blocked by your email provider . . . Since I changed to Gmail, I have not had a problem getting PQs that run. Edit to add appropriate quote and to say I'm requesting a PQ . . . we'll see if it arrives in my Gmail account. I just came to search to see if anyone else had this problem. Just created 4 PQs for a trip (caches along a route). The web site says they ran, but they have not shown up in my email inbox (also gmail). I have never before had a problem with gmail blocking or filtering my PQs. Anyone have a suggestion?

Yep, here are the group photos from WWFM 2 (last November) when we had 83 events and 4400 participants: WWFM 2 Group Photos Yes again. Here's the icon:

UPDATE on the WWFM III geocoin The 2nd round of WWFM III geocoin sales will be open on the evening of May 7th. If you didn't get your very own flashy bling the first time around, you don't have to wait until May 10th. Due to overwhelming excitement and demand, the sales will be opened 3 days earlier than planned. Head on over to www.coinsandpins.com after May 7th to get your keepsake coin. But don't delay!! The sale ends May 20th. We just got ours in the mail yesterday and they are AWESOME! Here's a quick video that Sonny took of the coin: Hope you all are going to attend a WWFM III event near you. It's going to be a blast.

Hey guys! As you know, the World Wide Flash Mob is happening THIS Saturday at Belmont Park, Mission Beach. We have 83 flash mobs coordinated with OURS, all around the world! Sandy and I could use a few more hands / help. The jobs are small, simple and FAST (of course it’s a FLASH mob after all! ) The WWFM volunteers are meeting at a “secret” spot, some time before the event to strategize, ‘cause once the event rolls, there won’t be any time for directions. It’ll be a well choreographed event! If you’re interested in lending a helping hand, please write us at podcacher@gmail.com and we’ll get back to you with the “inside scoop”. Thanks!!!!
