Nothing New Under the Sun

I am in the midst of developing a new event, an event I thought was pretty unique. Apparently I am not as special as I lead myself to believe. Maybe there are just too many people in this world, having too many creative ideas. But, maybe that can play to my advantage because if there are too many people in the world that means that there are plenty of people for each and every good event to have enough participants, right? That is the hope.

It is always an interesting thing to try and start a new event from scratch. You have to answer a lot of questions; Can it be done? Should it be done? How many other people have done it in the past? Would people be interested if this were to be done? How many people would be interested in doing this? How much would they pay? How big should you make it?

Get a Clue Seattle is the new event. It is a clue based/geocaching/romp through the streets/come out of hibernation (it happens the first part of Spring)/discover new parts of the city/rediscover your own neighborhood/learn something new/treasure hunt event. See, how unique does that sound?

Well, it gets even more unique when you add in that the event happens over a two week period, that is right, if its raining, you don't need to get out of bed and fight for parking and stand in long lines. You do it whenever you want to do it. Do it all at once, do one clue a day to drag it out, do it at night, do it during lunch.

It gets even better! There are three different neighborhoods to choose from! Capitol Hill, Queen Anne and Downtown. There will be prizes for people that do all three neighborhoods.

But wait, there is more! All three benefit a very local nonprofit!

My god, does it get any better!?

Apparently it doesn't as I will be competing with a similar event in Phinney Ridge and another city-wide event that happens in April and another event mostly aimed at tourists just in Downtown.

Stay tuned for details on this fun, and utterly unique event idea!
