Seeking someone to talk about geocaching in NYC

[kgunette]

Hi all,

 

I'm trying to locate someone in the NYC area who might want to speak at an event we run called Hobby. It's a monthly event where we invite 4 speakers to talk about their hobbies for 5 minutes each, and answer some questions from a group of very interested semi-strangers.

 

We've got an event coming up very soon, (Tuesday, November 16th, from 7pm-8pm), and we'd be thrilled if someone in the NYC area wanted to share with us?

 

Here's our HOBBY page: http://www.getHarvest.com/hobby

and here's out HOBBY channel, with video of previous lectures:

What do you think? Anyone game? Feel free to contact me directly at karen [at] getHarvest [dot] com - We'd love to have one of you geo-caching mavens share with us about what you do!

 

Best Wishes,

Karen

Which one of you "Mavens" is gonna step up to the plate.

 

If I were to make a suggest, which Lord knows I am loathe to do, I would suggest:

 

Looking up members; addisonbr, hallycat, buttaskotch, macatac, pelagori, Harry Dolphin, weathernowcast, Briansnat and asking anyone of them if they would be willing. I would also try Slukster,or El Toro who work in New York, rather than broadcasting an invite, because you might wind up getting someone who is only interested in what is on the menu that night. BTW, what is on the menu that night ?

Oh no, BrianSnat as a public speaker makes George Bush look like Winston Churchill and Demosthenes combined.

Besides, Briansnat is askeered to cross the Hudson.

 

I would love to however I work on Long Island and getting to NYC on a weeknight by 7 is tough.

 

May I suggest you post in this forum where there are many folks who actually LIVE in Manhattan

Yes, when it became clear that a NY geocaching rep would be unlikely, the organizers scheduled a different 4th speaker.
