Can we get texture on level 4 and maybe even some in the outer ring, not sure if that is level 2 or 3?
Yes there is texture under those areas.

I didn´t receive invitation yet
On it's way, you sent your info to my gmail account that I rarely check. Fixed now!

Two questions please:
1. the black and white of the artwork is that the color-me we are supposed to be working with?
2. Why no antique nickel?
I will be making the artwork available color by numbers artwork available tomorrow. Haven't had a chance to set it up yet.
I think antique nickel was an oversight. I will check.

Got a Marvin and a Rio yesterday and they are REALLY COOL!!!
THANKS, Mark!!! I always look forward to your "projects"!!!
Hope these coins bring lots of help for the Cougar Mountain Zoological Park.
Well, with the coins sales in the forums and tag and coin sales at the zoo I was able to donate to them collectively just under $2000!
Of which $180 of that were cups of apple slices for the zoo animals! 
Thank you to every one who bought and donated directly to the zoo. On top of that we had 265 people attend! 
You guys and gals are awesome! I also have a few left if anyone is interested, I am covering the shipping.

Was a 2011 Lackey Geocoin released @ GW IX?
I was told there will not be a 2011 version. Has anyone seen the new Volunteer coin?
I have a 2011 German Groundspeak Volunteer coin.
Is that what you are asking about? -

Haven't received anything yet, hope to get some today!
Is your mail person holding your mail hostage? I mailed packages on the 27th and they have made them to the east coast by now. One certainly should have made it to you!
Okay, I checked tracking and it said it was delivered on June 29th. Did your daughter swipe it?
No that would have been the wife who absently put it on the printer for me to "find"

Geocoinfest 2012
in Trackables
Posted · Edited by Eartha
Ladies and Gentlemen, boys and girls... it's that time again! To bid for the city for Geocoinfest 2012. If you have never attended a Geocoinfest, then there's one in the Charlotte you can try it out! If you would like to host Geocoinfest 2011 then you have come to the right thread!
Past Geocoinfests:
Twin Cities 2010
Salt Lake City 2009
Pittsburgh 2008
Temecula California 2007
It is now time to submit bids for Geocoinfest 2012, this is not a nominating or voting thread, this is for hosting the event, if you wanna host it, put together a team, a plan and a vision and then a bid. Pittsburgh put together a video showing off all the features of Pittsburgh, Salt Lake City did an interactive presentation... bids don't have to be that fancy, but they do have to be in by August 31st.
Some things people need to think about:
* these things take time to pull together, probably at least 7 months
* the Geocoinfest would be held in the fall, usually close to Columbus Day weekend
* the city needs to have an airport that is generally accessible
* the city needs to have nearby attractions rather than just the coins
* there needs to be ample hotels in the area, 3 coinfests have been hosted at hotels, but that isn't a requirement.
* the city should not be near other MEGA events locations
* we generally expect over 500-700 people (MEGA) so the actual site needs to hold at least that many
* there needs to be 2 (preferably 3) local coin coordinators, we need coin people, not just general cachers, due to conflict of interest issues any geocoin vendor is not permitted to be part of the bids or the committees
* need to work within a team environment
And the toughest requirement of all:
* you gonna have to work with me (avroair) so if you are fragile person then suck it up and deal with it!
Previous event organizers will receive each bid and vote on their merits under 10 criteria. Then re-vote for the two finalists. This will be done September 6. The winning bid will be announced at Geocoinfest 2011 Charlotte.
