PM sent. Gallery Place is where the Red Line crosses Yellow and Green lines. Metro Center, the stop before, is Red, Orange and Blue. And no large lenses, probably nothing bigger than 70-200 or 70-300. Just lots of them.

Time for a last tally, and the weather looks to continue cold as at present:
Definitely:
Jon, Lord_Malone, JimAskew, shocksyde
Possibles:
Ultra, staciecd, BottomBracket

Suzie - you been able to convince Ken he needs to handle the piano recital?

I'm figuring on getting down there around 1 at the Gallery Place Metro exit on 7th and H, depending on how soon I can get my wife and sister there, and moving back along the parade route starting around 1:30 before setting up at 7th and I around 2-ish.

Based on last year, they form up along I and 6th Sts for a starting point at 6th and I. Along I to 7th, down 7th to around F, up 8th or 9th to G, across G to 7th and back up to H, where they finish under the Friendship Arch.

Jon,

I'll be there with my 30D in its 7 Million Dollar Crumpler home...the olive drab one :) See you at the 7th & H exit at 1300 thereabouts :)

Hi,

Jim! Great Shots! I have a cold and couldn't go. I caught my son's cold, like usual, at the exact wrong time. Jon looks good and I would have loved the parade and the hot chocolate at Starbucks. Oh well. Catch you at the cherry blossoms.

Red, lots of red. It was cold and windy. Oh, that's too bad. It looks like they didn't clean up the ice well either.

My children and grandchildren are the reason, but it's the passion that drives me to get the perfect image of everything.

Suzie,

Great shots, Jon. I just saw Jim's thread. I apologize again for not attending. I think I caught my son's cold and have been cold and tired all day. We even had short church meetings today because the parking lot was so bad. I hope to catch you later in the spring. I also don't do well in ice. I fall just looking at it. :(

Let's get another gathering planned. The icy conditions made it not so fun. What do you think about meeting again at the Air & Space in late winter? It's a great place to shoot and I haven't been there in a while. We can see if they hung the Global Flyer up somewhere.

Suzie,

Count me in...unless I'm on babysitting duty that is. I have a standing babysitting assignment every first and third Saturday of each month as both my daughter and my wife work on those two days and my son-in-law is usually out on an AMTRAK run.
