Looking back at Cachercon 2010

This past Saturday marked the first Cachercon 2010 event (GC2158P) I (xpunkx) got to Troy on Friday night. I woke up early Saturday and headed over to the venue. There was already lots and lots of people that were there and setting up. We had little over an hour before the doors opened at 10:00 am. There was still lots of checking that needed to be done.  At 10 the doors opened and there were lots of people that came into the room. Now i was starting to get nervous, I talk every week on the podcast in front of lots of people but i am sitting in my studio and dont see them face to face. We have only done a live show like this one other time and there were not this many people.

Eleven O’Clock rolled around and it was time to start the Geocaching Podcast. Montu is on the line check, our interview guest was online check and the music is rolling. We are recording and it is going great we talked with Sascha of tb-rescue.com. we talked about the The Frustromantic Box and how much fun it would be to make it. Then we brought up the hot topic of the cache that was placed on the International Space Station This brought up lots of audience questions which was great. The audio from the show will be on this website later today. If you want to check out some other pictures from the podcast check out our facebook page. After the podcast we had other great sessions going on.  I got to speak again later on in the day this time i was talking about Geocaching Swiss Army Knife (GSAK). My presentation will but available to our plus members as a video once it is edited.

One of the main highlights for me was HeadHardHat talking about geocaching in the media. At the end of his presentation he told us that coming soon there will be a prime time television show about geocaching called TreasureCache and best of all HeadHardHat is the host.

We ended up with a total of 132 people. over all it was a great event and we hope that we get to go to it again next year. Everyone I talked to had a blast and wants to have it again next year. Big shout out goes to Darrylw4 and the Motor City Cache Machine Crew for putting this event on.

It was good to meet all of our listeners out there. Thanks for stopping by
