Welcome to the 1st
GeoFestivus event! The event will be held at the Pizza Hut in
St.Clairsville, Ohio on December 7th from 5pm until ? (everyone
leaves).
Festivus - according to Wikipedia is:
Festivus is an annual holiday invented by writer Dan O'Keefe and
introduced into popular culture by his son Daniel, a scriptwriter
for the TV show Seinfeld. Although the original Festivus took place
in February 1966 as a celebration of O'Keefe's first date with his
wife, Deborah,[2] most people now celebrate the holiday on December
23, as depicted on the December 18, 1997 Seinfeld episode "The
Strike." According to O'Keefe, the name Festivus "just popped into
his head." The holiday includes novel practices such as the "Airing
of Grievances", in which each person tells everyone else all the
ways they have disappointed him or her over the past year. Also,
after the Festivus meal, the "Feats of Strength" are performed,
involving wrestling the head of the household to the floor, the
holiday only ending if the head of the household is actually
pinned. These conventions originated with the TV episode. The
original holiday featured far more peculiar practices, as detailed
in the younger Daniel O'Keefe's book The Real Festivus, which
provides a first-person account of an early version of the Festivus
holiday as celebrated by the O'Keefe family, and how O'Keefe
amended or replaced details of his father's invention to create the
Seinfeld episode.[4] Some people, influenced or inspired by
Seinfeld,[2] now celebrate the holiday in varying degrees of
seriousness; some carefully follow rules from the TV show or books,
while others humorously invent their own versions.
Ours will be a little different. We will be decorating something,
an ammobox! Bring a sticker, or magnet or something to decorate the
box and an item to put in the box! (This is optional and not
required to attend the event!) This box will be a doorprize at the
end of the evening!
We will all still sit around and air our problems about everyone
elses caches! Like how hard they are to find and how
EVIL they
are.
Basically this will be a meet and greet and eat! Come one, Come
all and help us celebrate GeoFestivus!!
We will be having a White Elephant gift exchange (This is optional
as well). Bring a wrapped gift that is around $5.00. We will do
something neat!
We will also be doing
something for the
community.Click
Here if you are interested.
Here is the link for a GPX file of all the temp caches and a bonus
cache as well. You may find them when you like. The Bonus cache
must be signed to claim it, the others have no log in them but have
an item in each container. Telling me what is in each cache will
get you in the drawing for the decorated and stocked ammo
can.
