NPR Update
I talked with NPR yesterday. They said I called them a little to late for this weeks run, she is going to shoot for next weeks airing. But, she said it could run next Saturday or the next 3 Saturdays, she isn’t sure yet, but she is going to suggest it for next Saturday in their editorial meeting. So if you listen to the NPR Saturday, April 8, 2006 you might hear me. The segment will be in the Weekend Edition with Scott. Check out http://www.npr.org and find what station is your local NPR and what time it will be on, it varies in different locations. I hope it runs. I will call back next week to verify it. *fingers crossed*
BTW this one will be under the group, “business cards” So if you want to be updated on my business card hobby, then let me know yes add me to this group or say no thank you, I will truly understand no matter what you pick. So let me know, other wise you won’t be able to notice my updates. Thanks. (I am making my journal all friends only).

Where’s George
I went to the Lost Sea Gathering in Sweetwater, TN for Where’s George. It was fun to meet everyone. I even got 2 boxes of business cards. I will count my total and post it later. I meet a lot of nice people. I posted a group picture on http://wheresgeorge.cardeologist.com Click on the About Me to find the picture. I trade a lot of bills with fellow Georgers. I meet people from all over and they are using the bills they get from here to spend on their vacation in various places. So I hope I get some good hits from these traded bills. I have already spent some of the bills that I traded. I am thinking about adding the ones I got to my favorites (because I cannot hit of the traded bills) but I can add them to favorites and know when they get hits, but not sure if it will get confusing or not. Want to know more just ask! Oh yea, we didn’t get down in the Lost Sea, but a group of them did. It was warmer I would say down in the cave then outside since it was snowing. Inside the cave of the Lost Sea it stays around 58 degrees. It prob. didn’t reach much over 40. I saved some of the traded bills for when I go to Michigan. Let see if whinning does wonders now! I want hits and I want them now! Wish me luck! I would recommened if you are a George, to meet other fellow Georgers at meetings near you. I thought about having a monthly meeting for the Georgers to get together every so often, like once a month at a paticular place or so. One guy was a reporter at a newspaper where we lived and was going to do a story on it. I plan on putting the group picture in the paper I work for. If I do I can let others know and tell them about it. Anywho, take care and talk to you soon. I hope to get back to the replies soon.

Oh yea, I spent around $33 dollars of marked bills. 2 - $5 and 23 - $1. I spent them at McDonalds in Loudon, TN; Lost Sea Gift Shop in Sweetwater, TN; Tip money at Ruby Tuesday in West Knoxville, TN; and at the Starbucks in West Knoxville, TN (plus a tip there too). Yes, at Starbucks I did use some of my traded bills. So good luck with hits for me and for all of you. Oh yea, I traded my mom 10 - $1 for 10 of my traded $1. So you might get some good hits from those. *fingers crossed*

I just got a hit!
My Hit!. This bill has travelled 74 Miles in 245 Days, 3 Hrs, 40 Mins at an average of 0.30 Miles per day. I entered it in Knoxville, TN and it is now in Charleston, TN. See whinning about no hits does work. (whinning does wonders). I hope to get many more hits. *fingers crossed* The gathering will start in 17 hours! Almost a half a day until we all meet other fellow Georgers. I am so excited. I have my stuff ready to go in the morning to head where it is at. Time to go and print off my stat sheets for the gathering to show off. I know others will have awesome stats to show, but hey I got some good ones though.

I just hit a bill!
I just hit a bill. MovieGuys Bill. I have hit a few of his bills here and there. It went from Gatlinburg, TN where Movieguy entered it to Knoxville, TN where I entered it. This bill has travelled 30 Miles in 356 Days, 8 Hrs, 48 Mins at an average of 0.09 Miles per day. Wow almost a year for this bill to be hit and it wasn’t marked either, so it was a stealth!
My mom gave me 100 ones to enter just now on top of the handful she handed me about an hour or so ago. She went to her credit union and got them. She is going out of town this weekend, so she wanted that many to circulate for me. Woot!
