    but that's not all! Sheltiedogshowlover and LadyBee4T will be receiving their very own "GEEK" window decals...put them in your front windows or car windows, and let the world know you're "GEEK" and sort of proud!

    and just for playing in my geeky cointest, the DresselDragons will be receiving their very own official "GEEK" glasses, taped in the middle so you can let everyone at your next event know, you got your geek on!

    I realize in most cointests, not everyone can be a winner...according to the last post from Greenish, a GEEK is someone that is a creator of unusual objects...I have created such an object, and all participants will be receiving one...please make sure I have your address if you're not listed in the geocoin address group.

    my thanks to EyeD10Tfor sponsoring this cointest with his own cointest, and to all of the people who shared their unfortunate geekdom.

     

    live long and prosper, and never be ashamed to "GET YOUR GEEK ON !"

     

    ILYK

    SWEET! Thanks Doc! You rock! Loved the cointest...never realized how geeky I was...LOL

     

    Oh yeh...I have to add that we too have a "crunchy with ketchup" bumper sticker...one of my favorite quotes!

    Our family are big Harry Potter geeks. We've seen the latest movie only twice so far, but all of the other 7 movies we would have seen at least 20 times each (both at the movies and on DVD/TV)!!!

     

    We have all read all the books, including the 3 supplementary books.

     

    Michael has Harry Potter glasses and a wand (toy, electronic Harry Potter one) and would often get dressed up in a pointed wizards hat, cap and black clothing.

     

    Oh, and did I mention that occasionally Michael and I will start dueling throwing spells, hexes and curses (from the movies) at each other. :laughing:

     

    Now we just need to win the lottery so we take a huge family trip to The Wizarding World of Harry Potter in Florida.... sigh...

    We have all the book, all the movies, and all of the audiobooks. We have been to all of the midnight book release parties, including the one that conflicted with MWGB...cute little bookstore in Indiana. We have also been to the opening nights of all the movies, except the last one...we were on vacation and it broke my heart that we could not go. Right now, we are in the process of rewatching Harry Potter from the beginning...because Heather has finally expressed an interest in it...and, although she has seen most of the movies, she was too young to remember most of them.

    -Recently one of the ten pens in my hello kitty purse stabbed through. As I walked all day around kohls, my purse was swinging back and forth, writing all over my shorts. All day I walked around like this...

    (No the pen did not rip my shorts, that was already a part of the outfit haha)

     

    OMG! I've done that too. Usually, you can see me walking around with dried playdough on my rear, and colorful paint under my fingernails...job hazard.

     

    In response to the post someone else had about programming in basic...I used to be able to do that, plus pascal, cobol and fortran on TRS-80's...I was 1 of only 6 (1 of only 2 girls) that took Computer Sci 2 in high school. All of the geology students used to bug me for help with their required computer class.

     

    In response to the coin club...the only coins I collect now are geocoin. I have some coin sets from back in the day. We found lots of cool stuff with the metal detector...coins, rings...the most intersting thing (found by my dad) was gold teeth.

    On a semi-unrelated note, presumably at some stage we all have to decide what these coins will sell for? I'm not sure how this will work, as once again, shipping the coins to NZ, and probably some other places outside the US, is very very expensive (about 5 times as much per coin as within the US, for the benefit of the US hosts). Or will it basically be up to each event host as to how much they sell their coins to the general populace?

     

    Cheers.

     

    Well having hosted 2 of these events with version coins and being out of pocket $XXX last event. :ph34r: Shhhhh do not tell the wife. It is up to each event holder to decide what you need to charge to cover costs, as pointed out some have to pay a whole lot more for shipping + finish + glow or pearl and it goes on... $104 for shipping to Oz this year... seems reasonable and will be factored into the overall cost of coins and hosting.

     

    Most likely the Perth Australia price (Tho not set in stone)will be $11 bucks, we think it sounds reasonable and is in line with the event theme :anicute:

     

    Hmmm...I seem to recall the price being set the same for everyone participating in the previous events (except for the 888...which I remember setting our local price at $8.88...I thought it was cute, but ended up a making change nightmare).

    I just noticed in the FAQ's that the host can set their own price.

    Hmmm...so many choices.

     

    1) I had a recipe box that I to carry around my Star Wars trading cards in school (still have the complete set of cards)

    2) In jr high purchased a disctionary to assist in entering a word scramble contest (I think it was put on by Atari)

    3) I was so proud of my Pitfall award patch

    4) I belonged to a coin club with my dad

    5) I went to metal detecting events (like caching events) with my family

    6) I was president of the geology club in college and one of only 2 members of the geology honorary (an officer too, but I don't remember which one)

    7) I held an "end of the series" party for the last episode of Star Trek, the Next Generation...complete with a Starfleet uniform cake

    8) One of my prized possessions is a hammer engraved with my name

     

    edit to add picture...

    New coins for GeoWoodstock

    We're heading out tonight to GW. Staying an hour away, so we won't see anyone until Saturday. Hope to see some of of you guys at the geocoin event. We don't have a new coin, but will bring some misc traders and some dragon eyes.

    This won't affect me - but maybe all those going to GWS should make themselves known - maybe someone could publish a sub-event as a get together for those involved in the Mathtrade to swap their mathtrade coins. (Just thinking outside of the box)

    We will be at GW...Friday night at the Comfort Inn in Barkeyville area (we will not be making it to any of the Friday activities), and Saturday night at the Super 8 in Warren. You might find us somewhere at GW during the day, but the best bet would be at the Geocoin Madness event in the evening.

    I still have a few coin sets left after our event on Sunday...same deal as Mark...$23 (includes shipping) for the set (1 trackable coin plus 8 interchangeable tags) or trade offers (2 coins/set). Just email me thru my profile if interested. Thanks!
