California Meet Up #7 : Spring '09

Oh Mario. What are we going to do with you.

:p

i think ill come.. ill have to go the night before.. it will be a long drive from the sierras..

but ill probably bribe the hubby and the kids to come and walk around too.

shan

wow, is that THE ShannyD?...

It would be so awesome to meet you and your fam.

Hope you folks can make it

(Good thing coming from the Sierras, it's all downhill. Stop before you hit the water though). :P

haha! actually, day after our wedding she is spending time with her family (because they are from oregon and they are staying in california for a few days)

and it works out because i actually booked a wedding (to shoot!) on apr 25

Pray she doesn't read your POTN posts or you may find fingerprints on your sensor.
If you purchase tickets online for the academy you will be guaranteed a spot. If you buy your tickets at the booth you can get the AAA discount.
You cannot have your cake and eat it too. ie: no AAA discount on your online ticket purchase.
The place will be packed most likely and those that can't make it in will flood the DeYoung till it is packed.

Man!!!! I would LOVE to be there but I am shooting a wedding that day

So you won't be needing your 70-200 L that day, I'll be by to pick it up then.

oohh Mario..

that used to be the shannyd.. the one that has taken her place is a much grumpier, older, and fluffier version.. lol.

anyhow.. i should be there, because i really hate sitting around wasting time doing nothing.. when i could be out and about with some awesome people. i have met roger, and alan, and moureen, if im forgetting names.. im sorry.. im better with faces.. lol.

Kevin, you don't realise WHERE Maureen actually lives. Do you.

She's not from the Bay Area, but she likes to travel to these meets.
You would save money (gas vs. rental) by renting it from Calumet in SF or from Borrowlenses in San Mateo.

That's still the same ShannyD in my eyes.

It takes me 6 hours to Anaheim. With stops.
It is nice to drive an unobtrusive boat that goes fast.
Besides, on the return trip a cruise up to the foothills could produce a photo or two.
But something tells me Maureen would rather part with her photo copyrights rather than let me have her L

A tentative yes. Sounds like fun. We missed the last couple of get togethers.

Thanks, I actually haven't really read the manual. I've just been reading some other material about general DSLR photography information which has been really helpful by the way.

we can be newbs together

Hehe, for sure, if I make it out there!

Count me as tentative also. Might have to work....

Can I bring my sister-in-law? She shoots a Nikon D40X and is just learning. She lives in South San Francisco so it'd be a short trip for her.

Put me as a "may be" until the time to meet is decided.
