Anyone free? What do we want to do? I think we should try to get back together again (once a month or more), like we were doing all year.

I vote for something early (morning through afternoon). I have a long day on Sunday, Aug. 28th (you all are of course, invited - as it's open to anyone). I am going to Bats Day //www.batsday.net. I'll be there with friends. Dress in black! Heehee.

Anyhow, for Saturday, Aug 27th, where do you want to go? What's happening in LA Area that weekend?

Unfortunately I can't make that day, gotta say bye to the little sis. She is going to London for the semester coming up!

I may actually be down there that weekend for my nephew's birthday party, but I don't think we can get down to Anaheim then ... we're probably going later in the week. They ought to make that site a bit easier to read.

sounds good to me, any ideas for locations?
I actually wouldn't mind doing the queen mary again since I now have a fifty and 17-35 lenses, though I don't know if that can be done from morning to midday.

I feel like I was just there, though it's been a few months. I'll try to think of some ideas and get back to you!

Sorry I can't make that date as I will be hiking Mount Whitney... We have room if anyone is interested in tagging along, but I doubt anyone wants to lug a dslr and lenses up there.

Sadly, I can't go hiking that weekend. I am one of the official photographers for Bats Day at Disney on Sunday.

Have fun Chuck! Anyone else want to do something on Saturday afternoon, August 27th?

sure, any idea?

Maybe one of these events:
//fiestalaballona.org/festival.shtml is a possibility
//www.sunsetjunction.org/streetfair.htm and this! The Walkmen play at 6:30pm. They are great!!

Or, we could go to the LA Arboretum. I talked to someone who went last weekend. She said the summer flowers (non-native) are really amazing. She recommended it. It could be hot though. I am up for whatever.

Sunset Junctions fair sounds good to me.

Sounds like a possibility, but not sure if I will be able to make it yet.

I don't know how many people check the website, but if the gothic community actually checks the page it may help if they have your picture for the 'Photo Team' (on the About page), as they make it sound like anybody taking pictures [that isn't listed on the page] should be feared.

edit to clarify: I meant the photo outing was a possibility, not the Bats Day :P - I'll look forward to seeing your shots though Arie :)

I've been added to the Bats Day site as a photographer! Woohoo!
And, as for Sunset Junction... I realized I can't afford to go. Disneyland is costing me too much, and I haven't saved up enough yet to get in. So, I won't be able to afford $10, plus food and parking. So, I am thinking something simple... free... wandering around LA again somewhere. Want to go to Little Tokyo or to Burbank?

Tom, I can't do either of those (not free). :(
I'd love to join you, but I am flat broke with Bats Day coming up. Anyone want to do something free?
