+Seth! Posted July 21, 2004 Posted July 21, 2004 Howdy, neighbors. I am planning my next event. It will be held on August 29, 2004. That is the third anniversary of my geocaching career. My goal is to get to 600 finds by then. Adrian (who also started geocaching then, at age four) should be nearing 200 finds. (He is at 160. Not all are logged online.) I just found my 100th Travel Bug, so that benchmark is checked off. The other reason to celebrate is that I will be launching Mission: Impossible II. That's not actually what it will be called but it is the sequel to my first Mission: Impossible geocache. It's been two years since I archived that one and I decided I needed a deadline to get myself to finish the next one! Details about the event will be posted here (and on an event page) soon. The short story is that it will be held at my house, in Kirkland. Hopefully this will be another record-setting event. Mark your calendar for Sunday, August 29! - Seth! Quote
+Wienerdog Posted July 21, 2004 Posted July 21, 2004 We have always loved your events and creative caches Seth! AND..... we never did get to do the first Mission: Impossible! Quote
+Patudles Posted July 21, 2004 Posted July 21, 2004 (edited) My calendar is marked. Is this a kid friendly event? I may be Nana sitting that weekend to 7 yr old K-boy and his 10 yr old sister Waterlily. Edit: Spelling Edited July 21, 2004 by Patudles Quote
+Seth! Posted July 21, 2004 Author Posted July 21, 2004 Patudles, et al., I generally make my events kid friendly. (What would Adrian say if it wasn't?!) That's not to say there won't be beer. Otherwise, it's an all-ages show. Quote
Moun10Bike Posted July 21, 2004 Posted July 21, 2004 Is it screaming one-month-old baby friendly (worst case scenario)? Quote
+Seth! Posted July 21, 2004 Author Posted July 21, 2004 Is it screaming one-month-old baby friendly (worst case scenario)? Of course! That's best case scenario, though, isn't it? (Well, I guess not the screaming bit.) The event would only be enhanced by the presence of the (by then) three-member Moun10Clan. Quote
+Wander Lost Posted July 21, 2004 Posted July 21, 2004 Is it screaming one-month-old baby friendly (worst case scenario)? I'll be dissapointed if we don't get to meet Moun10Tyke then. Quote
Moun10Bike Posted July 21, 2004 Posted July 21, 2004 (edited) I'll see if I can arrange attendance for us then! (Of course, given the way things seem to be going, he probably still won't be born yet!) Edited July 21, 2004 by Moun10Bike Quote
lucyandrickie Posted July 22, 2004 Posted July 22, 2004 I don't know, Seth!. That 1 mile hike from our house to yours might be too long for us Of course we'll be there. In honor of MI:II, should we all dress as spies? Quote
+Pepper Posted July 22, 2004 Posted July 22, 2004 Dern it the kids and I will be in Texas! Sure wish I could make your event Seth! i've heard alot about your events in the past. Pepper Quote
+EraSeek Posted July 23, 2004 Posted July 23, 2004 Well, so I should be able to make it, maybe even cast free by then. Quote
+LazyCat Posted July 23, 2004 Posted July 23, 2004 If I'm off, i would love to come. I have already met Adrian. It is about time I met Seth. It seems you both are good friends of our neighbors, John and Mark. Who, by the way, got me started in geocaching. Quote

+fractal Posted July 25, 2004 Posted July 25, 2004 GeoBride and I will try and make it up there for the event! We've been meaning to make a trip up that way for a while... -fractal Quote
+Wienerdog Posted July 26, 2004 Posted July 26, 2004 (edited) You aren't going to have any trick questions or tough problems for us to work out are you? The last time we were over there a lot of us had problems finding that SNEAKY cache you did for the event! No tricks OK? Edited July 26, 2004 by Wienerdog Quote
+Seth! Posted July 26, 2004 Author Posted July 26, 2004 fractal...Woohoo! Nolenator...Um, er, .... Wienerdog, no tricks?... "No Springs. Honest Weight". - Toledo Scale Co. ...that's as close as I can promise. Other things to celebrate that day: Adrian's and my August birthdays, Laurel's upcoming birthday, the Bryan/Heidi geomarriage--and, as mentioned previously, Moun10Tike's arrival. Quote
nolenator Posted July 26, 2004 Posted July 26, 2004 MGTS - Flip Flops of course! Seth - Ah come on.... Peace, Nolenator Quote
+hydee Posted July 26, 2004 Posted July 26, 2004 Bry and I will be there!!! Is there anything better than a Seth! event the weekend after you get married? Moun10bike, you better be there! I need to see Moun10Tyke and we owe you a huge thank you for holding the quilt event a few years back so bry and I could meet. Quote
+Seth! Posted July 28, 2004 Author Posted July 28, 2004 I met Heidi and Bryan at that same quilt event but didn't get engaged to either of them. Probably because I brought my whole family! Yep, lots of meeting went on that day. Who knows what great meeting of the minds and heart will take place at "Party of Three!, which is what my event is now called. Check out the event page and plan to be there, one and all! Cheers, Seth! (The Moun10Bike family will be a party of three any minute now. The ddog-n-ma/rothstafari merger will be a party of three. Adrian and I will have been geocaching for three years. It's a big Party of Three! Wheeee!) Quote

+robinego Posted August 2, 2004 Posted August 2, 2004 JoMama and I will be there. Possibly carpool with the Patoodles clan. I have room for 2-3 more from the dry side if anyone wants to come with us. Quote
soup Posted August 3, 2004 Posted August 3, 2004 Strangly, I will be in town that day. I dont know where I have previously been, but I probably won't smell too good. I have not yet attended a Sethvent! It should be a excellent experience! -soup Quote
+TotemLake Posted August 3, 2004 Posted August 3, 2004 My participation has been thrown into question with the job my sister has coming up, but you can be assured if I can make it I will. Quote
+Seth! Posted August 4, 2004 Author Posted August 4, 2004 Marcus, in case that was an actual question (hey, I never know) the event is from noon until 4 PM. That info is on the cache page. Soup, glad to hear you'll be in town. Come on by! All, if you'd like to post a note on the geocache event page, that might help those who are considering attending but don't read the forums. It'll also help give me an idea of how many to expect. The goal: Lots and lots of people! I'll be adding an information page about the Mission: Impossible geocache soon. I realize that many people don't remember my first one and may be wondering what in the heck is the deal! Cheers, Seth! Quote
+Seth! Posted August 26, 2004 Author Posted August 26, 2004 Bumping this back up since the event is nearly at hand! Yikes! I've got to light a fire under these secret agents to get the Mission: Impossible geocache finished. If you have not already put this event on your calendar, please do. The more, the merrier. Adrian and I are nearly at our goals of reaching 200 and 600 finds, respectively. (He needs three more; I need two.) Hopefully we'll be able to take time out from the preparations to hunt a bit on Friday. Happy geocaching! - Seth! Quote
+TotemLake Posted August 26, 2004 Posted August 26, 2004 That's awesome Seth! Hope y'all make those milestones! In the meantime, I'm definitely a maybe. If the weather improves as predicted, I won't be able to make it as I'll be digging out tree roots in S. Seattle. Quote
+Wander Lost Posted August 26, 2004 Posted August 26, 2004 I think I may need to get off my duff and find three more before Sunday. Then I could make the event my 400th cache. We are going to be there rain or shine, but I'm really hoping for shine! Quote
+WeightMan Posted August 26, 2004 Posted August 26, 2004 Like Totem Lake I am a definite maybe. Not for the same reason though. I won't be able to decide until Saturday night. Quote
+Stump Posted August 27, 2004 Posted August 27, 2004 Peer pressure gains another victim. After reading the posts about people making Seth's event a milestone cache I got off my duff today (between rain squalls) and did the last few I've ment to do for about a month to get to 699 making this event #700. I'm so pathetic. Heard today that in Longview (and I assume the rest of western Washington) this year we've had more rain in August than any other month so far except January. Ugh! Quote

Yah - in less than one week. I can't say that getting it all at one time is better than dragging it out. Quote
+Patudles Posted August 28, 2004 Posted August 28, 2004 Heard today that in Longview (and I assume the rest of western Washington) this year we've had more rain in August than any other month so far except January. Ugh! Wish we could get some. We hardly know what serious rain is. Quote
+Stump Posted August 28, 2004 Posted August 28, 2004 Wish we could get some. We hardly know what serious rain is. You should have come to the WSGA picnic. You'd have seen some serious rain then. Luckily, only the rain was serious, us cachers were all light-hearted. Quote
+TotemLake Posted August 28, 2004 Posted August 28, 2004 I think it was just as bad as last week's rain. The only difference between the two was we had to hike the 2 miles back out in that downpour. Quote
+Pepper Posted August 28, 2004 Posted August 28, 2004 2779 miles later and I'm Home! I'm looking forward to seeing everybody at Seth!'s event. Tired of driving Pepper Quote
+TotemLake Posted August 29, 2004 Posted August 29, 2004 Well it looks like I won't be doing trees after all. I'll be attending and I might even have my wife on my arm to coo over M10B's new baby. Quote
+WeightMan Posted August 29, 2004 Posted August 29, 2004 (edited) I will be there as well. Now I can put some more faces with names. Edit to note that in keeping with the theme of the day this is my 400th post in the forums. I just noticed that or I would have said it when I first posted. Edited August 29, 2004 by WeightMan Quote
CurmudgeonlyGal Posted August 29, 2004 Posted August 29, 2004 I will be there as well. Now I can put some more faces with names. Hooray! -=- michelle Quote
+EraSeek Posted August 29, 2004 Posted August 29, 2004 !Anyone coming to this event should print out your profile page and "Caches Owned" page, so we can all see who you are and what you have! See you there ~EraSeek Quote
+TotemLake Posted August 30, 2004 Posted August 30, 2004 That was fun! Sorry I had to cut out short on this event! Lot's of great people there to celebrate all the milestones and the start of the new MI! Cheers! TL Quote
