Sorry to have missed this, I am in Thailand and got the time gap VERY wrong. Hope there are more in the future, intriguing idea.

Logging a day late, as I had to rip out my computer and the carpeting in the room immediately after. Indeed I ripped out some carpet during the event! Glitches? They just made this even more fun! Cereal commercials, a troll with a Bin Laden avatar, and there was an (allegedly) female spammer at the end whom I'm sure would have dropped a porn site link if anyone responded to her. Lots of humor flying around (who said "BRB, I have to get some cereal"?), and lots of good questions and answers. Great job DG, and we'll look at some other options next time.

I remembered just in time to drop in for a while. Too bad about the technical glitch, or whatever it was, that caused DG to fear we had all bailed out on him. This was a cool idea that I hope gets repeated sometime. Thanks!

I had to attend this event. I love the idea and hope to see more of the type.

Well that was interesting. I was late to arrive and found DG "babbleing" since he could not see any of the comments from attendees. I wondered why he was ignoring us. It came back together at the end and then ended all too soon.

This was a great experiment. If we could have multi cams from attendees with live conversations it would be more of an event with far less pressure on the host. Especially when the poor guy thinks he is all alone at his event.

We were there and listening between commercials with our own conversations about DG not seeing any of the comments.

Nice try. Let's do it again

Thanks to all for coming out and participating in this little experiment. Maybe we'll try Google Hangouts next time.

Happy Trails!

@QueensGrantMusic: 90 minutes to spare? Why not find a cyber cache on Terracaching.com? Just like OCNA has "locationless challenges", cyber caches are like "locationless puzzles"

2015-08-18 23:50 rvstauff (83) - Will attend

I am planning on attending!

Cool idea. Can't wait to see what this is all about!

Thanks.

2015-08-18 23:26 QueensGrantMusic (104) - Note

I am ready 90 minutes early. What to do?

2015-08-18 21:35 sfcchaz (405) - Attended

Neat idea. I joined at around the time that DG started not being able to see our chat. At first I was on the SS side, then moved to the chat side. As a matter of coincidence that's when DG started seeing our messages again. :)<br /> Thanks for putting this on (even if it was after my bed time) ;)

2015-08-18 21:00 Bon Echo (216) - Attended

Well that was a different, a lot more laughs than I expected for a "virtual" event. Thanks Dave for hosting.

2015-08-18 18:28 Memfis Mafia (102) - Will attend

I will do my best to log into this event. I am hosting another event during part of the time. I will try and get my attendees of the other event to log in as well.

Love this idea and hope it works.

2015-08-18 18:15 DudleyGrunt (633) - Note

Watch this event page just before 9 PM EST this evening for a link to our UStream event. I've set it up so you will not have to log into UStream to chat. Hopefully, we don't get any spammers I have to try to moderate, but I wanted to make it easy for folks.

2015-08-18 11:26 rvstauff (83) - Attended

I was there!!!

The glitchiness started later on. Dudley could read comments in the beginning! Neat concept. I will try to make the next one.

Thanks so much for the effort to try something new like this. New and different ideas is what keeps OCNA interestin!

2015-08-18 09:59 sfcchaz (405) - Note

Will try to make this event.

2015-08-18 09:03 QueensGrantMusic (104) - Attended

LIVE! This is a great event. Thanks for making this happen.

2015-08-18 02:58 GoinPostNet (208) - Attended

Enjoyed the event. Not a bad first try. Looking forward to the next one!

C:geo misled me, and I thought I missed this on Monday! Today I kept getting will-attend type log emails from the watchlist, so I checked with a browser, and found out it was Tuesday! Connected, said hi, and attended! First of this type for me on opencaching. Thanks! :)

Pictures for this log entry:

Don't Be One, Drink One :)

2015-08-17 21:23 Bon Echo (216) - Note

Just wondering how this event will work - do we need a webcam to take part, or do we just type what we have to say? Just want to make sure I am ready. Thanks

2015-08-13 21:39 GoinPostNet (208) - Will attend

I'll do my best to be there.

2015-08-13 12:21 Mr.Yuck (229) - Note

Yes, QueensGrantMusic, this definitely counts in the contest!

2015-08-11 14:16 Bon Echo (216) - Will attend

I should be able to take part in this, will be my first OCNA event attended.

2015-08-11 02:13 TermiteHunter (242) - Will attend

And the WIKIDRONE

I should be able to attend something that I can do so virtually from home.

2015-08-11 01:49 ithink314 (276) - Will attend

This will be first day back at work after vacation, but everyone has to be somewhere. Might as well be here/there, if not asleep. Thanks, OCNAChallenges, for setting this up!<br /> <br /> +/- # 33 @ August 10, 2015 21:49.

2015-08-11 01:14 QueensGrantMusic (104) - Note

I will do my best to attend. Will this count in the contest?

2015-08-10 14:29 kingbee (96) - Note

I'll be there

2015-08-10 13:01 Mr.Yuck (229) - Will attend

Of course the OCNA webmaster better be there!!

2015-08-10 04:07 iicydiamonds (5) - Will attend

sounds like a fun idea!

2015-08-10 04:06 Wet_Coaster (21) - Will attend

I'll probably join in progress. Meal time on the left coast.

2015-08-10 00:19 DudleyGrunt (633) - Will attend

I'll be there! Or here. Online?
