Yah, so the profile's way out of date. By about 3 years. But the maps are current, and the most important link I can give you right now is http://www.geocities.com/wgdc2006/ the link to the Capital Gathering in Washington, D.C., June 23-26, 2006! Hope to see you there!







Yay!!!! Image hosting @ wheresgeorge!!!

Caution, out of date (but still interesting, I hope!) profile ahead!

Now, thanks to Frank, WG has automatic county maps! Makes my site a little redundant, but I'm not about to complain! If you still want to color a map the old fashioned way, more info about making your own map can be found here.

My bills are taking over the world!


Well, now that I can show you a map of my hits, my profile might just get a little more attention! now conquered FORTY NINE states!!! And, drumroll, please.................an APO,AE hit in Germany! AND a hit in the Virgin Islands!


6 June 2002: My hit streak since Super Bowl Sunday comes to an end. Bummer. The streak before that was from 30 December to Super Bowl Sunday.

3 June 2002: While it's my 1210th hit overall, this bill was the 1000th bill I've entered that has had a hit!

3 May 2002: I got a Metro Transit hit! This bill that I entered while on vacation in New Orleans made it to Minneapolis on it's second hit! How cool is that?

29 April 2002: Got my first hit in Arizona!!!! Wahoo!!!! That leaves only 8 more states before I have a U.S. Bingo!!!!

24 April 2002: FRB Bingo #19!!! It has been a very very long time since I got another hit on an I bill, but it FINALLY happened!

3 April 2002: New Mexico exists! That makes state number FORTY ONE. Oh yah, and this bill should also go into the New Orleans section below.

2 April 2002: OREGON checks in! State nubmer forty is crossed off my checklist!

11 March 2002: I GOT COLORADO!!!! My 39th state! Maybe when I get back to Kentucky next week, I'll take a moment to update my map colors!

8 March 2002: I GOT MISSISSIPPI!!! My 38th state!



Since I was Kentucky based for my first two years of Georging, most of my hits are, understandably, in Kentucky. The darker the state is, the more hits I've gotten there...I have a long way to go before I get the 50 states bingo...

If you have wandered to this profile because you entered on of my bills, thank you! I hope you'll look around the site & join us by entering more bills on your own!


Here's what most of my bills have looked like lately. I'm tellin' ya, a big stamp works! Is this the stamp that brought you here?


Results from New Orleans...

So, from 17 January to 22 January 2002, I went to the ALA MidWinter Conference in New Orleans. My first time in that city...it was amazing. Saw the first (and lewdest) parade of the Mardi Gras season. Ate at Cafe du Monde. Ate King Cake. Ate seafood. Ate pralines. Rode in a mule-drawn carriage in the fog. Watched ships going up and down the mighty Mississippi. Rode the ferry in the fog. Rode the St. Charles St. trolley car. Saw a scary woman leaning out of a "GIRLS GIRLS GIRLS" bar screeching at some guy across the street. All in all, it was a visit to a surreal planet.

Anyway, that's just a long introduction to saying that it was expensive, but I somehow don't mind cause it has translated into lots and lots of interesting hits already! Lots of the bills were entered from my apartment in Kentucky, but lots were entered at my parents' house just south of Chicago...but I know I spent them in N.O. I'm going to collect them here! Enjoy!

27 July 2002: The tenth bill to be resurface after being entered in New Orleans made it to Ohio!

9 May 2002: This bill shows up in South Carolina!

This bill has no note, but was re-entered in N.O.

I took this $20 from Chicago to KY and now it gets entered in N.O.!

This bill has made it from Kentucky to This bill has made it from Kentucky to California (by way of New Orleans)

Another traveller to California.

This is one of 31 bills I entered while there, already made it to North Carolina. The second hit is also North Carolina!

This is another bill I entered in N'Awlins, but this one went to Minnesota!

My very first hit in Long Island, New York! How cool! And then I got three more, in the next three minutes! The second, third, and fourth. I hope they will continue to travel together!

This is the third bill N.O. to pop up entered in. I guess I brought it back to 'Tucky with me.

I got 9 (yes, NINE) hits from the same place, where I had lunch the day before I left. The day after I got home, I got these hits. They're all the same, but here they are: One, Two, Three, Four, Five, Six, Seven, Eight, and Nine. Phew! (Bills #2 & 3 are still travelling together, as witnessed by their second hits!)

This one got to Texas!

This one stayed in Louisiana

This one was still New Orleans but it has made it to Florida!

Found by a registered Georger from New Orleans! On a $20, no less!

Well, this is not technically a New Orleans bill, I suppose. This bill didn't get to the Crescent City, but I think it's one of 10 in the airport in Houston cause I was starving cause the plane was diverted to Dallas--too much fog in Houston--before continuing on to New Orleans.

New state! New State! Rhode Island makes an appearance for the first time! What intrigues me is that I had a feeling all day when the hit came through that I was due for a new state.... State #37 (plus Germany) on hit #747, my 646th bill hit!

Another bill pops up in New Orleans ! This was hit #675.

Texas day for the New Orleans bills! First is Stephenville and the second is Houston. I wonder if these bills made it to N.O. of if they were some of the 10 I spent in Houston...if they are, I've gotten really good returns on them!

Another bill I took to New Orleans made it to New Jersey!

I entered 31 bills while in New Orleans. With this hit, I got a 16.1% hit rate on those bills, which is as close to my overall hit rate as I think I can get. I want to see how well those 31 bills do....



This is a small collection of hits from bills that I dug out of my Poppa's wallet shortly before 2001 became 2002.

Two hits in one day! The first one made it to Glencoe, IL and fifteen minutes later, the second was reported in Chicago, even though they got the bill in Crestwood!

This is my one and only APO,AE hit.

FRB Bingo #17!

This bill is still up in the south 'burbs of ChiTown...


These are some bills that I know I spent at the places where the next person reported receiving them!

I went to the K-Lair for the first time in a long time the other day. I'd be willing to bet that this bill is one that I spent there and it got hit the same day!

Yes, I went to go see a movie the other day, and used an old $5 and a $1, but I didn't go see the movie noted in the note for the $1. I went to see Gosford Park (which was interesting, but not as good as I'd hoped. I think the best word for it is underdeveloped.)

I got a hot chocolate where they said they got it next...and then the bill got to Indiana, and back to Chicago!

Same batch of hot chocolate...

If I didn't spend this bill there, I'd be surprised...I'm always tossing georged bills their way! LOL!


Got my map of my hits by county in Kentucky up!

An earlier version was showing the number of hits by county, but it was just too much, too complicated.

Map of hits in Kentucky by county.  Too many danged counties in Kentucky...I'm a long way from a state bingo!




I heard about this while looking for a news article created by National Public Radio...and it seemed like the perfect site for me: mostly pointless but very interesting, not really possible before the internet, and a great way to spend my ever so copious free time. (that last bit was sarcasm...)
