Arizona Jeff knelt down and picked up a handful of dirt. Slowly he let it slide through his fingers. He looked up at the sky and surveyed his surroundings. After a few moments, he stood. The wind rustled through his hair and his chiseled jaw set firm as he concentrated on what he was doing.
Arizona Jeff looked up from where he was crouched. The air had shifted and with the breeze he turned to the East to face the wind. The sun was beginning to rise above the horizon and Arizona squinted and pulled his hat down to shield his eyes. He was obviously concentrating upon something in the distance although nothing could be seen, Arizona Jeff could sense a presence. Soon, out of the sunlight could be seen a lone figure cloaked in an overcoat and a large teal hat. The woman was striking and carried herself with great confidence. Finally she arrived and stood before Arizona Jeff.
“It has been a long time Mean Laureen” our hero said. “What brings you to the desert?”
“I came looking for you Arizona Jeff,” proclaimed Mean Laureen. “I have something that might be of interest to you.” At this moment she reached into her coat and removed a journal. It was clear that this journal was quite old and was heavily worn. Arizona Jeff took the book and delicately opened the cover. As he did this, the leaves in the surrounding trees rustled in hushed tones as if they knew something important was about to happen.
“Where did you get this?” Asked Arizona Jeff.
“Where or how I obtained this is unimportant. Do you know what this is?” Asked Mean Laureen.
“This is the journal of Oliver P. Phinnius. I have not heard from poor Ollie for years. I lost track of the old fool when he went off looking for that mystical magical land of pins.” Explained Arizona Jeff.
“That old fool found it.” Said Mean Laureen.
Shocked, Arizona Jeff looked up. He could see Mean Laureen smile wryly at the look on his face. “That story was just a legend. There is no such place,” said Arizona Jeff. “Did Ollie tell you this?”
“Ollie is gone Arizona Jeff. Vanished without a trace. All that is left is that journal,” explained Mean Laureen. “But the last entry to his journal is interesting reading.”
“July 18, 2001. I think I have finally stumbled upon the secret of the magical pins. I cannot believe that after all these years that I have finally found it! I would give anything to see the look on my dear friend Arizona Jeff’s face when hears of my discovery. It is an adventure he would not want to miss. The key to the magic rests with the map and the letter scroll buried near the altar of collection. Time is of the essence, many search for the magic but only one can possess it.”
“Where is Ollie, Laureen?” Asked Arizona Jeff.
Mean Laureen bowed her head and in a whisper barely heard, “I don’t know Arizona. I have looked everywhere.”
“Grab your gear Mean Laureen, It’s adventure time!” Proclaimed Arizona Jeff and with that he grabbed his bag and began his journey.
This is an adventure you are not going to want to miss. Join our heroes and find out…

Where in the World is Arizona Jeff and Mean Laureen
 
Arizona Jeff and Mean Laureen, with journal in hand have set out upon their next great adventure. The imagination of Arizona Jeff could not be contained for just one night so it is only logical to believe that he has other plans besides The Great Pin Adventure.

Where in the World is Arizona Jeff and Mean Laureen will be a series of mini-meets and adventures throughout Walt Disney World. From now until the time Arizona Jeff boards the plane to Orlando, these mini-meets will be introduced in story form approximately every other day. Besides trading pins, Arizona Jeff and Mean Laureen will be partaking of Disney magic throughout the parks. I invite everyone to follow along in the story and beginning August 8th, I invite you to join in on the fun. The more the merrier as we invade Walt Disney World in search of magical pins.

To help document your adventures, I have created a lanyard card on the back of all those cards people have ordered for The Great Pin Adventure. An example of this card is shown below.

As you can see, this card has nine boxes. These nine boxes represent the various stops that will be introduced for the Where in the World is (WIWI) game. When you attend an event, Arizona Jeff or Mean Laureen will place a sticker on your card so that you are given credit for attending. You do not have to attend all of the events in order to play. You can select the activities that fit within your schedule. For those who complete all nine stops, they will receive special recognition at The Great Pin Adventure.

As each chapter to the adventure is posted to the web site, I will add to this thread so that you will be sure not to miss an episode. Good luck adventurers and I hope to see you at Walt Disney World as Arizona Jeff and Mean Laureen try to find the magical pins.

Getting a new pair of running shoes!!!!!! So many meets - so little time
 
The Friday night meet promises to be productive. Better make sure to wear some sleeves though. I may need help pulling something outta those sleeves.
 
Your reference to the need to "wear sleeves . . . "

Since I have never attended the Friday night Contemporary meets, I am unfamiliar with any unusual local customs.

My normal pin-trading entire is like anyone else's -- a large turban, a sweeping satin cape (velvet in the winter, of course), and baggy pantaloons with half a dozen hidden pockets. I choose a suitably coordinated blouse, and can make sure to wear one "with sleeves" if that is required.

Or, was this just a reminder for those DIS members that prefer to trade in the nude? (Very dangerous, in my opinion.) I suppose you might convince a few of them to at least wear sleeves, if they absolutely must.

:D
 
Another day dawns and another adventure unfolds. The trek to find the magical pins continues. Our adventurers stop to analyze where this adventure has taken them. It seems like years ago that this quest began at the Boardwalk Pin Cart. They then traveled to the land of plaid as they traded in the Canada Pavillion. Next came the waters of insanity at The Jungle Cruise in the Magic Kingdom with our adventurers battling bad animals and worse jokes in the name of pin trading. This was closely followed by a trip to the Adventurer's Club where they traded with all sorts of interesting characters. The next day saw our adventures have a Kodak moment with the Survivor contestants before setting out on a mobile quest on the Monorail. They then faced their fears (or more to the point Mean Laureen's fears) at the Tower of Terror. Soon, another day came to a close but not before they met with Arizona Jeff's Sumo wrestling partner at the Contemporary Resort for reminicing and pin trading. This all leads us to the next episode...

Chapter 8 - Animal Kingdom It's Tough To Be A Bug

Good luck adventurers. Anyone wanting to join our roving adventure, feel free to contact Arizona Jeff or Mean Laureen for details or to sign up. I hope to see you there.
