gmaxis Posted March 6, 2002 Share Posted March 6, 2002 Now, does anyone has a Geocaching.com flag or banner? What about the mobile sound system for disco/ballroom/line dancing and karaoke? Quote Link to comment

+LarsThorwald Posted March 7, 2002 Share Posted March 7, 2002 Should someone post the cache on the Event Cache, home page of geocaching.com? I keep asking people if they're coming, and they don't know anything about it... I'll do it if you want... Charlie Quote Link to comment
gmaxis Posted March 8, 2002 Share Posted March 8, 2002 Lars, I pass the baton to you. Since you started this thread, you should end it too! What do you think? All details have already been mentioned. Go for it! Have GPS, Will Travel. Quote Link to comment
+LarsThorwald Posted March 8, 2002 Share Posted March 8, 2002 I'll post it. Let me run the info by you that I've gathered from this thread, so you guys can tell me what I've left out before I put it up: SoCal Geocacher's Picnic Sunday, March 17. Irvine Regional Park N 33 47.698 W 117 45.228 $4 per car park entry fee Potluck. What hours are we talking about? Anything in particular we want to ask people to bring? I'm all for keeping it low-key, but, hey, if someone's into kareoke (see, I can't even spell it...) Charlie Quote Link to comment
FullOn Posted March 8, 2002 Share Posted March 8, 2002 Looks like all the info there is correct. As far as hours go, I vote for earlier than later, say... 10:30 or 11:00. Quote Link to comment
+FlyingRhino Posted March 8, 2002 Share Posted March 8, 2002 Guess I'd better bring a BIG Thermos of coffee, huh? Quote Link to comment

gmaxis Posted March 8, 2002 Share Posted March 8, 2002 Around 10:30 is good. Although some of might want to get there early to prepare and reserve the spot. I'll keep you company, FlyingRhino! Here's a sample program a friend of mine made:SoCal GEOCACHER’S PICNIC I. PRAYER II. CIRCULATING : ( MEET AT LEAST 10 NEW PEOPLE FROM THE GROUP) III. EMCEE: TO DISCUSS THE FOLLOWING: ? History of Geocaching, who’s doing it (countries) ? Special projects or activities ? Regular monthly meetings/events IV. SHARE-ME-AN EXPERIENCE ? Someone shares an experience (fun, memorable, exciting) during a geocache ( get at least 5 shares) You must at least have their names before the actual event so the emcee ? just need to call them out. V. CHOW TIME VI. GAMES 1. Bench Surprise ( ask them to look under the bench to look for a piece of paper and do what it says) 2. Musical Chairs (get 10 pairs) 3. Longest line ( 10 pairs, 5 kids and 5 adults per team/ 2 teams ) – whoever forms the longest line using their clothes, jewelry, etc, WINS. 4. Draw me a face ( kids game/ get at least 7 kids to join) 5. Color me Green ( whoever brings in first the following : someone with green socks, green eyes, green underwear, green shoes – WINS! 6. Newspaper Dance (this is a common game back home but try this, they might enjoy it). Bring newspapers. Place the newspaper on d ground, couples dance and when d music stops, they jump on the newspaper till it gets smaller and smaller… VII. RAFFLE * decide if you want to have this, you will be needing more prizes. Things to consider: 1. Who’s the Emcee, assign one of ur members who’s good at this. 2. Prizes ( you can ask some members to donate gifts for prizes ) 3. Collaterals ( newspapers, white bond papers, markers, boards ) 4. Music (someone should provide a sound system for music and microphone) You can add to or remove any of the suggestions as you wish. Have GPS, Will Travel. Quote Link to comment
+Tomebug Posted March 8, 2002 Share Posted March 8, 2002 I suggest you make it a "No potato salad" pot luck. Pot lucks are famous for having about 12 different bowls full of potato salad and almost nothing else! I'll bring home made salsa and a dessert. Sound OK? Also, if you are looking for donated prizes, I can donate some services from work, let me know. Quote Link to comment
gmaxis Posted March 9, 2002 Share Posted March 9, 2002 I agree with Tomebug. Why don't we post our potluck contributions here so everyone can plan ahead and avoid duplicates. Aznaz is baking her famous baclavas. I'll provide paper plates, utensils (plastic and silverware found in caches) and fund this picnic with all the georged dollar bills and coins I got from San Diego caches. I might bring some Ammo cans as cache prizes. Another neat prize is to name a cache after the contest winner. Why not everyone bring a nice cache item to sell/barter/auction/giveaway? Who's taking care of drinks? Water jug? Ice? Carbohydrates, protein, fat and sugar? Peptobismol? Don't forget your folding chairs, barbeque grill (I'll bring mine). Did I forget anything?

+LarsThorwald Posted March 9, 2002 Share Posted March 9, 2002 All right, I posted the event cache. Probably left out some stuff - let me know. I suggested that all further communication be logged on the cache page itself, so there will be a rough idea of how many people are coming. I left the agenda open (my kind of party) , but any particular ideas (gregusmaxis!) could now be posted on the page as well. See you soon! Charlie Quote Link to comment

vagabond Posted March 10, 2002 Share Posted March 10, 2002 Since this get together is less then a week off, don't you think it should be announced I just happened to run accross it here. And I'm sure there are a lot of cachers that don't read these forums. I'd like to make it but on this short notice I'm not sure if I will be able to......... Vagabond just saw the notice you still might want to use email to get it out a little better : Quote Link to comment
