I'll be in Bangor, ME on Sat, 3/16. First time I've ever been to Maine! Woohooo!!! Anyone interested in dinner/exchanges that night? If so, suggestions would be lovely -- no clue what's in the area. :)

Are you staying with anyone in particular?????

We'd love to try to meet up, let me see what we have in the works.

I do have a place to stay already. As long as dinner is somewhere in the Bangor area (so I don't have to drive even more that night), I'm up for anything --- I'm not picky. :)

Any place with a hot wing challenge :)

[._.]

Ummm... I'd kind of like to return home without permanent damage....
Anyone else??

I wish I could, but I have to work that night. :(

Bummer! I would have loved to have met you!

I know of a place! *nodding* -A.T.

Hey, Maine's even better than Atlanta! :)

I know- I was so excited until I looked at my calendar. The bittersweet aspect of working for a performing arts presenter- I love seeing all the shows, but they sure can get in the way sometimes!

Now do NOT be siding with him on the Hot Wing challenge thing!! Y'all are gonna run me out before I even get there!

And we missed out in Atlanta but we get another chance! Woohoo!!

Any other night would be good for me... alas, I'll be spending the afternoon at my son's Pinewood Derby just before heading off to meet up for Margarita's and a later puck drop at the Civic Center...
Maybe next time : )

Yes, and sooner than expected! Count us in. AND the hot wings place was very good for a larger group - we can jut watch HIM get himself on the Wall of Fire once again! ;)

OMG -- I don't think I even want to watch anyone torture themselves like that!! And it doesn't look like we have to worry about a large group anyway. We might could just do a private e-mail exchange and just hook up in a coffee shop that evening for anyone available? :)

Sounds fine!

Dang... if only it weren't almost 4 hours away....

4 hours is easy. I'm driving much farther. :)
It's all good -- I've done the 4hrs one way and 4hrs back in a day to my brother's in Atlanta, GA -- once. Ain't doing that again! It's really not that much fun having to do all that driving just to turn around and drive back the same day!

Depending on the time and freaking winter weather, I could possibly make a meet late day, early evening. Darn work gets in the way. Don't schedule it around me but let me know the time and place, please? Yup, Teacup would even go to a coffee shop to meet Mama Wolf.

That would be great. I'll email you whatever happens.

So how many BoTWs are on your agenda??

[._.]

Hmmm... didn't check. It's all about the mystery boxes this time! There aren't that many mysteries in NC, but there are LOTS in Maine! And after smokin' my brain, I better find at least one of them!!

In Bangor? Maybe 7... ; )

No worries - Aiphid can help you with them all - since they are all his : )

That's rather interesting since I have some old clues not on AQ or LbNA (love having resources) that date back well prior to Aiphid starting. Perhaps Aiphid was Isoceles back then? :) I really like that some of the oldest stuff there started in mysteries. Now I'm not as good with the Legerdemaine clues (perhaps that was Aiphid too? LOL!) but maybe some day...

It's really neat to see the old, old stuff to see how the state started out. We don't have that strong mystery clue history here. As far as I know there were only 2 Legerdemaine boxes planted in NC (one of which I got, and the other appears to be missing) and one Mapsurfer (I got that one).

OMG - she said the 'L' word on the boards!!!

Should I have said He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named??

How funny -- if I go to the PA zone of eevil, I would think it would be a good thing to mention Mapsurfer.

Y'all have a very interesting mystery box history!!

That's why most of ours are still out there... and haven't gone MIA...

We don't talk about them on the boards...

Interesting. So even mentioning the name of a great clue writer and carver in the history of the state is forbidden?? I sooo would not have guessed that!!

So the code is to just say Aiphid did them all????

Ummm... yep... I'd say I'm completely confused by how things are done there. You'll have to excuse my ignorance. Nothing like messing up before even getting there!

We don't talk about them on the boards...

I still don't see how that protects the boxes. But hey, whatever.

I notice that everyone's left Giddy out. Don't forget about him! He has some excellent clues.

Sorry, Giddy, if you're another he-who-should-not-be-named.

Mysteries are not mentioned on the boards whoever we think planted them... the planter wants them to be mysteries... if they wanted them obvious to everyone... they would have grabbed everyone's hand and had them go a plantin with them...

Sharing mystery answers openly on the boards is just bad etiquette... no matter who the planter is...
