Leap Day occurs every 1461 days. February 29, 2004 is the first Leap Day in geocaching history. What better way to celebrate than with dinner and a White Elephant exchange. Why white elephants? Like leap day, they're quite rare. So it only makes sense to combine the two concepts.[:)]
Dinner will be at 5:30 at the listed coordinates, Sweet Tomatoes. Bring your appetite for all-you-can-eat soup, salad, pasta, dessert, etc. Sorry folks, no beer on tap at this place.
Please let us know either on the pdxgeocaching.com forums, here, or via e-mail if you expect to attend, so we'll better be able to estimate how many tables to grab.
Bring a white elephant. Even your non-cacher spouses or significant others or old-enough kids can each bring one if they'd like. White elephants can be something laying around your home, or can be something you bought for the occasion. They should not be anything you pulled out of a cache, and should not be anything that you obviously bought to put into a cache (no signature items, geocoins, ammo boxes, tupperware, etc.). The more entertaining the better! Price limit: under $10 per elephant.
Depending on the crowd, we will either do the white elephant exchange at Sweet Tomatoes or will make it a progressive event and do it somewhere else. Here's the protocol:
* Each elephant-bringer will get a random number.
* The person with the lowest number will choose an elephant and unwrap it.
* The person with the next number can either unwrap a new elephant or steal a previously unwrapped one. Anyone who was robbed can then decide whether to steal a different elephant or unwrap a new one.
* No elephant can be stolen more than 3 times, so the 4th person to have a particular elephant gets to take it home.
* If the first person didn't have their elephant stolen, they'll get one final chance after the final elephant is selected to decide whether to steal something that's still available.
