Maker Madness: We're Not Foolin' Around! GC4ZGTH
Well, I did it! I'm hosting a Maker Madness event! I wanted to do something a little different as there are several other MM events in the area. I thought with so much talent in the area we may want some of our local superstars to display their creativity and share their knowledge - make it a true learning experience.
I must admit that I'm a littler nervous, but everyone seems receptive to it! A number of people have RSVP'd, and TaGeez is hiding some caches for it. I found a brand-new Panera Restaurant that is perfect for demonstrations and excited to have us! Grand prize will be some of our favorite cache-making supplies all wrapped up with a bow. I'm so geeked!
________________________________________________________________
Meet some of our most skilled craftsmen and local creative thinkers to see unique containers, discuss planning hides, and creating cache pages. On hand will be:
Commander Overlord - With over 300 caches hidden, Commander Overlord excels at creative puzzles and finding that perfect hide spot. He has agreed to talk about his creative process and answer questions for new hiders. (Note: Availability is subject to change due to work commitments)
Puzzler26 - Puzzler26's 25 caches in the Presidential Series have garnered almost 790 Favorite points! Puzzler26 has been working all Winter on new containers & locations, and he's offered to display a few of his creations for us!
DougPeterson - DougPeterson has several excellent series including the I-275 Bike trail, Hines Drive Connectors and the Crazy Eights Series. Doug's discussion may include: planning for a series, selecting weather-proof containers, and maintaining a series of caches.
This is an excellent event for new and seasoned cachers! Get your questions answered, be inspired for Spring, and, please, throw in your own 2 cents! We are our best resource!
Join us from 7-9pm at the new Panera of Southfield
at 28681 Telegraph Rd, Southfield, MI:
7:00 pm - Social time
7:30 pm - demonstrations and Q&A
8:30 pm - drawing for prizes
As part of the Groundspeak's Maker Madness celebration, attendees of registered Maker Madness events will earn a Maker Madness souvenir and a certificate of completion!
BONUS: Every attendee will be entered into a drawing for the Grand Prize. Must be present to win.

SE MIGO Meet + Dragon + Prize Geocoins
Had a great time at last night’s monthly SE MIGO Meet at Panera. Caching Fire (TB5MKYT) made his grand appearance on the event scene. I think it was a hoot!...er.. I mean a hit!
While at the meet (with everyone “discovering” my dragon), I ran into DarrylW4. I mentioned earlier that I won a geo-prize in one of the GeoGearHead’s drawings. He handed it to me. Woot! I won a 2011 DarrylW4/Firefly geocoin and a Cache-A-Maniacs geocoin! Awesome! I already have a DarrylW4/Firefly geocoin (with a silver border) so I’m going to give this gold-bordered one to TaGeez for his collection (I “earned” another DarrylW4/Firefly geocoin about a year ago at the Belle Isle event, and it’s in my sister’s collection).
All in all, a good event and the last one for me before Christmas. I wish all my geo-friends an awesome holiday season!
