+Fluttershy Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 I'd like to host a short Weekend Geocoin Exchange/Meet & Greet in New York City this Spring. We'll have lunch at my favorite BBQ Restaurant in town, Blue Smoke! I'll host a Geocoin exchange in beautiful Bryant Park. We'll have a few fun Games including coin Prizes! And what's NYC without a bit of Touring??? This event will have it's own Geocoin as well! Quote Link to comment
+S&G.Davison Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 If I can persaude G to take a business trip to the US at this time then maybe just. Otherwise it would be a bit of a trek. Sue Quote Link to comment
+fox-and-the-hound Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 Dependent on the date, we'd definitely be in! Quote Link to comment
glennk721 Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 (edited) Oh Allie, I'm homesick LOL,, I may have to go just to visit "home" Edited February 27, 2007 by glennk721 Quote Link to comment
+GPX Navigators Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 Oh Allie, I'm homesick LOL,, I may have to go just to visit "home" Yeah, me too. Well, not homesick for the traffic or the crowds or the noise or the....wait, maybe I'm not homesick. This could work though. Kids can visit with the grandparents and I can take the train it in to the city. Now to get someone to pay for airline tickets to get a little closer to NYC. Any potential dates Allie? Seriously - this is something to consider. Quote Link to comment
+Fluttershy Posted February 27, 2007 Author Share Posted February 27, 2007 I'd like to find a Partner in Coin, to help organize the event... and help with the Event Coin. Then we can finalize the event. The Exchange would be held outdoors in a park, so it has to be a nice Spring Saturday... And it can't interfere with Geowoodstock! Quote Link to comment
+LadeBear68 Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 I think this is a wonderful idea. Quote Link to comment
+Aiden's Cachers Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 Only a coins throw away, I might have to consider going, though I don't have many coins I could point and letout the occasional "oooh" and "ahhh" Quote Link to comment
+J10fly Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 I'm in as long as the wife and the baby can go. He's expected in April so hopefully I can get to bring him with! Jayman11 Quote Link to comment

+Fluttershy Posted March 1, 2007 Author Share Posted March 1, 2007 Hi there! I'm open to having this event on any day... in the Spring or Summer. I'd be thrilled if a Vendor decided to head the whole thing and create the event coin. (I have a design in mind...) I'm not a very good Leader, and I'm kind of overwhelmed with Work and trying to mint my upcoming coins. I'd be so happy to help as much as I can! ~Fluttershy Quote Link to comment
+The Dillon Gang Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 something started by fluttersby.....thought you NYC people would like to see it.... if you want help putting your design to artwork ready for coin production...drop a line. Quote Link to comment
+Fluttershy Posted March 1, 2007 Author Share Posted March 1, 2007 Wow... Dillion Gang! It came out quite wonderfully! I just gave you the idea... you did all the work! Well done! Quote Link to comment

+joefrog Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 Planning a trip up sometime this month/next month, but no idea if I'll have the time... Quote Link to comment
+MSTzilla Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 Whenever you finalize a date, I would consider taking the train down. I cached in Central Park and did the Bryant Park micro last summer. Would still like to find some of those I missed. MSTzilla Quote Link to comment

+S&G.Davison Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 Counts us out as we on vacation that weekend - but no worries the trip to the US from the UK would have been a problem. We would have looked forward to it had the dates worked out. Sue Quote Link to comment

+Fluttershy Posted March 3, 2007 Author Share Posted March 3, 2007 I'll keep thinking about it, and discuss this with Avroair... Perhaps it will be a really amazing event! Who knows??? I do know that it seems pretty exciting to me already!!!! VENDORS??? Quote Link to comment
+GPX Navigators Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 I am going to check into plane fare. Besides I need to come back and do the Bryant Park micro. That one was just annoying and we ran out of time. Allie dreams of geocoins. I dream of the "too many muggles to cache" cache. Quote Link to comment

+Degai Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 I may be able to attend then. I have never been to an event, so I don't know what you do and what are the costs associated with it. It would be neat to meet some of you guys, though. Quote Link to comment
+joefrog Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 well, mapquest said 15 hours from Bham to NYC... but i don't know how long it would take if we were caching!!! Trust me on this -- you can FORGET what MapQuest says! My best time so far was 17 hours, and that's with almost NO stops. Quote Link to comment

+Fluttershy Posted April 3, 2007 Author Share Posted April 3, 2007 I'm uncertain if this event is going to happen, because I wanted to team up with someone to coordinate it. Unfortunately, a lot of people are busy... which is understandable. If it is to happen, I would need to make plans - ASAP. Quote Link to comment
