Geocache Description:

It is time once again for the annual Festivus Gathering of Geocachers. This is your big chance to air your grievances (caching-related or not) and to challenge your fellow caching friends to a thumb-wrestling smackdown! If there is anyone out there who is unsure about Festivus, please check out the listing for The Festivus Cache for a detailed description of the holiday and its traditions. All are welcome to join in the celebration - Festivus veterans, new cachers, locals, not-so-locals, hootgibson, and even the morbidly curious!

We will meet in the former pool room at Flaming Amy's at 11 a.m. SHARP. Anyone who arrives late or even too early will find themselves on the receiving end of a grievance! Please do not come expecting a bunch of new caches, feel-good prizes, and giveaways - that is not how Festivus works. After working on our Grievance Forms over very late lunch/very early dinner, we will gather around the metal pole for the official Festivus 2010 Airing of Grievances. Depending on the attendees, this could take hours.

Please note! In order to facilitate the Airing of Grievances portion of the event, we will be uploading an official Festivus Grievance Form.(We'll get around to it when we feel like it.) The Airing of The Grievances is a key part of any Festivus gathering and should be undertaken with the utmost seriousness and respect. We will only accept grievances that are submitted on the OFFICIAL GRIEVANCE FORM. It will not be okay to just show up and start scribbling down your minor complaints on napkins. Please limit your grievance references to people who are actually AT the event. Gossip is distracting and unacceptable, and can always be done offline! We will have extra copies of the grievance forms to accomodate late-comers or surprise guests who do not notify the world of their intention to attend. (And we will have a lotta problems with those people!)

At the end of the Airing of Grievances portion of the event, we will collect all official forms submitted and draw one for a special prize. As in years past, both the person who submitted the selected grievance and the object of that grievance will win a fray-made wallet made out of duct tape. The wallet will be empty. That is very exciting. The more you complain (or are the object of complaints), the better your chances at winning this unbelievable prize!!
