OK, here it is.... Awaiting the Official Reviewer's Publishing. The Short Notice (likely MY Fault...) is something that I'll be anxious to see if I can actually pull this off. Anyhow, Pending review/Publish, the GC# is GC2HPDP Assuming this is Published, I hope to meet a few more fellow cachers very soon. I'll certainly be looking Forward to learning a little more about GSAK.

My GC # Link above will work properly.... if Published. Tested and tried, and found that it will not work until the Event Cache is Published.
Joe, PM or post here, Any suggestions of Edits that I need to do for the listing as the time for the Event comes near. Right now.... it's up to the Reviewers at the GC Site. Being Election Night, I'm about as anxious as the candidates running for Office to see if I can pull off the Event Cache. Time will tell.

Now it really IS Official. Published, that is. Cool! The Event is ON!!! ;D (now I gotta set the Event to the Site and the Forums here... ) Joe, we already have a note there saying that this is a good idea, so I hope we Can do this more than once. Future Event Caches can be called GSAK Class ~ Seminar 2, and so on. We'll see how it goes, but I'm already having a good feeling about the concept. For This event, I have a couple of favors to ask. ... A) send the coords if you get a chance. In case mine are off, I'll adjust the listing. B) can you get a Picture of the Library we'll be visiting? I would like to post it up at the Listing so that folks will be sure to find the right place. You can post the pic yourself if you'd like to, in your Will Attend log entry. Thank You SO much for offering this idea, sir. I truly appreciate the opportunity to both Learn more about GSAK and also Host an actual Event Cache. I am really looking forward to it. Incidentally, I also happened to actually get that Saturday OFF Work. I didn't want to take any chances on being Late to the class! Once I saw the map with Resurrection Cemetery nearby, I knew I had a bit of drive ahead of us that day.

Perhaps any Future Events like this might consider including a Meal at a nearby restaurant. Just a thought of mine for a little bit of socializing on the side with fellow Cachers. It worked out pretty well when Bryan and I co hosted the CITO Event back in July. The Supper Event also served as the Start of Bryan's 2010 TB Race. (pretty cool idea, IMHO )
As for This Event... feel Free to bring along any TB's you may have in your possession. This might be a Great opportunity to get some Moving again, in case you're like me and have one in the inventory for just a wee bit too long.

I just got an email stating that some one called the Library and that they are unaware of the meeting. Uh... they Do know we're coming, right?
Email came from a Will Attend the event logger. Please confirm and let me know, so I can assure the emailer that we're good to go.

We are reserved under the name Kankakee Geocachers. If they didn't use that name, the library may not have known what was going on.

Thanks, I let the emailer know that fact. For safety sake, I'll see about calling the Library myself tomorrow (at work today...) to double Confirm. would be rather embarrassing to get there and be turned away from a place. Ask Bryan. It HAS happened before!! Otherwise, it looks like we're filling up as we only have room for 1 more... assuming some of the Notes don't pan out. AThrillOfTheHunt, in example, isn't yet Confirmed. Due to the interest we got in this, I really am looking to do a few more of these if you're up to it. We can talk about that via PM's and also at the Event on Saturday.

OK, the Event is FULL! I made a Temp Disable Log entry to reflect that at the listing. I still haven't called the Library myself, so I sure hope that's all been squared away properly. I'm looking forward to it, but I'm also getting a bit anxious too. I sure hope it all goes well.

Well, that won't happen to us. I just called today and Confirmed the reservation. OK, maybe that call should have been put in a week and a half ago!!! but it IS set. Hope everybody's Ready. I'm sure not, being the last minute idiot that I can be... Argh!!!

Thanks, Bryan. It went very well as far as I'm concerned. Joe said he'd do this again, and I really hope he does, cause I learned a few things this first time around. And I'm sure there are More things in GSAK that I still don't know about. It was good to see aThrilloftheHunt again in the class. Remember, he was at our events on July 3rd. We also met a few more cachers that hopefully might sign up here at the forums.

And to ALL who see this Topic. This Event WILL come Again!!
Folks, there has been Plenty of interest in seeing another event like come up again in the future, and Joe has already stated that we'll be doing another Class ~ Seminar in about a Month. (or two? my wife says)
Anyhow, I hope he's up to it. Joe has given me some things to look at and learn in GSAK, and I'm pretty sure that I'll have some questions in the ready for the next class. As the Event Host, I already am learning and taking in ideas of how to make each Event a little better as we go along.
So Stay Tuned for another Event/Class ~ Seminar Coming Soon! ;D I think I'll treat This Topic like the GC site treats Event Caches. General rule is, Archive an Event after about a Month. So when that Event is Archived, this Topic will be Locked.
Future Events will carry the Same Name, plus V. 2.0, 3.0 and so on. However many we end up doing.
