[GeoStL] A suggestion for future 101's (and any other introductory events) and a question too.

Some may very well disagree with my thoughts on this for various reasons but
I'm going to throw it out there anyways. Here it is a week after the 101 even
that I attended, and don't get me wrong I did have a great time and hope I
don't come off sounding too demanding or whiney here. As most of you know,
I've been around this list since October even though I don't post a ton. I
learned some things about caching that I didn't already know and got some ideas
for other things to carry with me that I hadn't yet added to my list before.
Overall my only complaint would be that I ws kinda hoping to be able to at
least put a few more names to faces. For many people that hadn't been lurking
here for a while I guess it wouldn't make much difference but seeing the names
and emails all the time makes one curious.
In my case I walked away knowing who Rich, Glenn, and one of the Jim's (Dorkus
& Co) were. And thanks again Glenn for tweaking my GPS for me. I gather that
Bernie was the one in the SLAGA hat, only b/c I thought I remembered hearing he
wore the crazy shorts at MIGC and saw a pic of him w/the shorts and hat on at
the same time. Tonight I went back and was reading some of the logs from the
101 and realized there were a bunch of SLAGA people there that I would have
liked to have met or at least had a chance to know their names so I could put
them to faces. I couldn't stay afterwords for the group cache (where I would
have met some more SLAGA people I'm sure), as I had a tired 4 year old and also
had to get her back to St. Charles by 4pm. I plan to attend future events and
group caches to get to know everyone better and enjoy some caching
companionship and the 101 didn't change my thoughts on that at all.
Also one quick question.....Was I supposed to log the 101 as found twice since
I got two of the caches? I only logged it once but then saw that some others
had logged a find for each seperate cache they found. Which method is
generally accepted?
