+lindsychris Posted May 26, 2007 Share Posted May 26, 2007 Well, after working a 1/2 day, and then driving 7.5 hours, we made it around 10 just to stop in briefly to pick up my ****** and our personal coins from Christian. Hopefully I'll get a chance to meet more chicks tomorrow! Quote Link to comment
+pghlooking Posted May 27, 2007 Share Posted May 27, 2007 In all the fun of the evening, I didn't get a chance to trade for the event coin. I am looking to trade for one for sure, but I heard all 5 of you got your own coins. Does this mean each coin is different and there are 5 versions of the coin, or are they all the same? Does everyone still have coins to trade for or are they scarce already? Quote Link to comment

+Fluttershy Posted May 27, 2007 Author Share Posted May 27, 2007 (edited) I just wanted to Thank everyone who attended the Party Friday Night. I really enjoyed myself getting to meet you in Person. I am very lucky to have become close to several people during GW5. Edited May 28, 2007 by Fluttershy Quote Link to comment
+pghlooking Posted May 27, 2007 Share Posted May 27, 2007 I think the vendor party actually brought people to yours that wouldn't have known about it from the start so a thanks to him should be in order. Giving a donation to yours is just way off the chart IMHO. You don't sound very appreciative about it, but instead somewhat bitter like "How dare he?" kind of thing. As for someone arguing with you...If it is truly a move on moment, then why even bring it up in here. I have coins left over and will decide what to do with them when I get back to NY. Just for clarification...Does this mean the others who were behind the planning of this event didn't get coins since there was a loss on the over all event? Does this mean all trades have to go through you then? I asked about trading for a coin of an event I was at and I am just left with even more questions. Quote Link to comment
+PengoFamily Posted May 27, 2007 Share Posted May 27, 2007 We really wish we could have gone to GW5 and to your party at the Ramada. I am sure everyone enjoyed themselves. I would love to trade for any coin left over too please. I am sure they look just as good as the rest of the coins that you come out with. Have a safe trip home. Quote Link to comment

I have only talked to ~tasia~ and POSAM, both of them have some coins, Allie has some of theirs as well, so it looks like you have a couple people to try and get them from!

+Fluttershy Posted May 27, 2007 Author Share Posted May 27, 2007 Everyone now has their ownership of their individual coin. Please contact crazycavelover, ~tasia~, ParentsofSAM, and I personally for requests. (~tasia~, you'll be contacted soon about your remaining coins). Quote Link to comment
+LadeBear68 Posted May 27, 2007 Share Posted May 27, 2007 I was not able to attend your event due to my last minute travel plans but I know that many people were very excited to meet you, Fluttershy and attend your event. I also don't think charging five dollars is out of the question, the poker game that I love to play in charged three geocoins which is more than $5. I don't mind giving up the coins because I love the game. Unfortunately you aren't going to make everyone happy and the only thing you can say is if you don't want to pay the $5 don't come.

+lindsychris Posted May 28, 2007 Share Posted May 28, 2007 Allie, I'm so sorry I didn't get the chance to meet you on Friday night or at GW5. I think you were walking out of the hotel as we were walking in on Friday, but we only stopped in briefly to pick up my chicks. It had been a long day. Maybe next year in Caifornia perhaps??????

+sfwife Posted May 28, 2007 Share Posted May 28, 2007 Well, my first Geowoodstock is done and we're heading home tomorrow. Just wanted to say I enjoyed meeting lots of coin forum people at the party at the Ramada. Thanks, Fluttershy for setting it up, I had a wonderful time. Quote Link to comment

+Marky Posted May 28, 2007 Share Posted May 28, 2007 I was hoping to lose quickly playing poker, but ended up staying in long enough where I wanted to see who won before I left. I didn't make it to the party until it was nearly over, but I had a good time. It seemed like everyone there was having a good time as well. Thanks for throwing the party! --Marky Quote Link to comment
ParentsofSAM Posted May 29, 2007 Share Posted May 29, 2007 I had a wonderful time at the party! I have to say Thanks! to Oakcoins for their very generous donations to the raffle and nice contribution! That was an act that was above and beyond. I also enjoyed going over next door and visiting with ya'll for a bit. I appreciate all those that attended the party and the people that traded so nicely with my girls and those that donated to the raffle. I am looking forward to the next time I can get together with all the coin addicts. Quote Link to comment

+~tasia~ Posted May 29, 2007 Share Posted May 29, 2007 Thanks everyone for coming out!! I really enjoyed getting to meet people that I talk to here all the time. It's nice to put faces to names I think I traded almost everyone who had chicks, I'll have to look thru the ones I have to see which ones I still need. Looking forward to GW6! Quote Link to comment
+tokencollector Posted May 29, 2007 Share Posted May 29, 2007 Just anothe word of thanks to those who pulled this together. I made a few trades and had an opportunity to put names with faces. Next time, I'll come better prepared to trade! Quote Link to comment
+Evil Chicken Posted May 29, 2007 Share Posted May 29, 2007 I just wanted to add in my thanks to the women for organizing such a fun event! Honestly, after some major issues last summer (health and otherwise), I had lost my desire for collecting coins, didn't find joy in it anymore and had basically stopped buying, trading and selling. Going to the party and meeting some wonderful folks reminded me how much I missed it all. It was such a pleasure to sit and chat with many of you and trade for personals and other coins. I may even go forward with a new signature coin that has been banging in the back of my brain for a year. Thanks again, ladies! ~ Mother Hen of Evil Chicken Quote Link to comment
avroair Posted May 29, 2007 Share Posted May 29, 2007 I wasn't able to attend the meet and greet until late on since I was doing so well at the poker tourney. But when we finally arrived the party was in full swing. I managed to make a couple of trades and then got chicked out! 37 of 40! It was really awesome to put names to faces especially after the dissapointment of not attending the GCF. Special thanks to each hostess who made everyone welcome. Quote Link to comment
+Fluttershy Posted May 29, 2007 Author Share Posted May 29, 2007 It means a lot to hear that many had a good time at the party. Unfortunately, I wasn't a great hostess. I apologize to all of the girls who helped host. I didn't communicate enough prior to the Party. I put all of my eggs in one basket, and at the last minute... panicked over something trivial, really. I also sincerely apologize to the Vendors. One Specifically for being gracious, even though I faultered. The donations were sincere and appreciated. I didn't deserve such kindness. I hope I can be forgiven for my childish behavior. Thank you. And Thanks to the other Vendor who took the time to bring things into perspective and set me straight. I am forever grateful. Please know my original intentions were genuine. I did not mean for any hard feelings to happen. Sincerely, ~Allie. Quote Link to comment

+summerandnana Posted May 29, 2007 Share Posted May 29, 2007 Finally getting around to logging GW5 stuff. I am still in Carolina at my sisters house. Thanks to all the GeoChick organizers for getting this party off the ground and especially you Allie Was so great to meet everyone and spend time trading and chatting. I wish I could have spent more time at event on Sat but family obligations had me leaving at 11am, way before some of you arrived I think I still have several special tokens for those I did not see or manage to meet. I will contact you soon missing chicks. Hope to see all of you soon and I will see you all next year at GW6 Quote Link to comment
+islander1988 Posted May 29, 2007 Share Posted May 29, 2007 Thanks for the gathering Fluttershy! It was nice to meet some of the people from the forums and make some trades. I still have to sit down and see what all I traded for at the party; between caching every minute we weren't sleeping or at the event and the coins being in my travel bag on the road trip home I forget half of what I got. All I remember is peeps in more colours than jelly beans. Quote Link to comment
