+keewee Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 I cant make it to ANY of them Why are all the Australian geocoiners so far away from each other? If I could, I would fly over to Ashvegas to bug them, but I've just spent all my holiday money and have no more work time off I did have a tiny little Geocoin get-together with Forthferalz the other day - that was nice I'll pick you up from Christchurch International Airport on Friday night, just let me know what time, and can have you back for your flight on Sunday, no problem. There is an awesome Magical, Mystical Creatures Night Multi being set up for the Saturday night which you would not want to miss!! Quote Link to comment

+wavector Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 One of my best girlfriends since 1984 lives in Red Deer, AB... I told her to drop into the GCF event and ask the nice folks about geocaching so you guys in AB keep an eye out in case she gets brave and ventures in. She's a 911 operator so she wasn't sure of her work schedule when I last spoke to her. She has recently bought a GPS and wants to learn how to find geocaches! I assure you that your friend will be very welcome and there will be plenty of caching experts on hand to help with caching and/or GPS questions! Our event is being held in a Community Hall right on an extended green space/park and I am sure that there will be some new caches near the event for those who want to go out and hunt somewhere close, your friend would probably be able to go out and practice with experienced cachers right at the event just using shanks mare! I thought I had sent you an email thanking you for your donation to our Geocoin Event but I can't find it in my mailbox, even if I did then another thank you certainly wouldn't hurt! So Thank You form everyone in the GWG (Alberta) group, I am sure Tom thanked you when he got the package but even if you get three or four extra "thank yous" then no harm is done! We have 20 watchers, and 40+ teams pre-registered for the Event so it is already a success and it is going to be very exciting. I am sure everyone is going to have a lot of fun. I hope your friend can make it and I am sure that everyone will make her feel welcome. Thanks Again Chris and Helen If I wasn't going to the Alberta Event I would be thinking about driving out to the coast for the BC event! Quote Link to comment

+Vegas Gamblers Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 Well if we did not have to work we would visit WISCONSIN, since we are here. Again it is WISCONSIN, not WINSCONSIN as it is stated in the original OP and in Jakes poll. Whew, got that out of our system. Enjoy everyone. Quote Link to comment

Well, in a similar vein, my mom is from Wisconsin originally, then grew up in Washington state, which she still to this day pronounces WARSHington, as in, I'm going to warsh some dishes!

I cannot add it to the list now or it will erase all of the current votes, sorry. Jake I demand a recount. This is starting to sound like the hanging chad votting issue from a few years ago. Let's see, a whole 25 peple voted so far..... I guess everyone can just send their PA votes to Jake instead of using the voting page.... Quote Link to comment

+Rockin Roddy Posted September 29, 2007 Share Posted September 29, 2007 Me go to the MYGO (ooops...MiGO) event....MICHIGAN!! FFD will be a great start and then the fun of the coiners!! Sure hope those in charge of our state funds can figure out what is what so we can re-open our parks (and liquor sales, lottery sales etc....) I hate it when they play politics while holding the public ransom! Maybe we'll be in a Howard Johnson's or something, but a little budget crunch isn't going to stop us!! Quote Link to comment

Just to clear up any confusion -- the event is NOT cancelled. We have lots of fun stuff planned: - Geocoin Trivia (so you better start studying now) - GeoPoker Run - Guess what's in the Giant Ammo Box - Lots of Doorprizes - Make your own geoWooden Nickel for the kids - Crafts for the kids - "Keystone Mini" event geocoins - and much, much more We have 25 teams signed up so far and 32 people watching. So, PA should have a good showing. Quote Link to comment

Same ol' same ol' here! Since no one can decide on a budget, they are going to just shut down!! Why do we have to suffer? I don't drink, but we do sell lottery tickets at our golf course (as well as liquor)... We're hoping they can figure SOMETHING out before the event since it will be held at a state park.

+Lotho Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 Whats a geocoinfest? Quote Link to comment
avroair Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 Whats a geocoinfest? Someone had the silly idea of making an international mega event for geocoin people from all over the globe to come together and attend. The first such event was held in: California and had over 400 people in attendence (minus an organizer or two ). Many people expressed sadness for not being able to attend so the multi-event idea spawned out of the discussion. 25 smaller geocon events on the same day. 4 in Canada, 1 New Zealand, 1 Netherlands, 19 in the United States. So... what geocoinfest are you attending? Quote Link to comment
+Lotho Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 I think i will have to attend the non existant uk one Quote Link to comment
+Lazer Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 I will be at the event in Georgia! Quote Link to comment
+tom4props Posted October 6, 2007 Share Posted October 6, 2007 California (south) I'll be doing a little caching on the way over, so I'll be bringing an appetite as well as some coins for trade. Quote Link to comment
+pghlooking Posted October 7, 2007 Share Posted October 7, 2007 I didn't have any plans since I had to work, but fate as it may be, I got out early and raced to the event in PA> What a great time by all. Great location as well. Quote Link to comment
