Hey hey hey -

We've had several good GTGs now, and I'm looking forward to the next. The only real problem we've had is making sure everyone who's interested finds out in time, so-

How about we make a yahoo mailing list to let people know when there's a new GTG being discussed? The list would be used only to give people the heads up; the real discussion would still be on DPC.

So drop a line on this thread if you wanna!

I'd be interested! The heart is willing, now let's see if the schedule permits. :-( Would be great to meet you all though! You can use the email in my profile.

All right, I have now created a yahoo group, which is:

---> //groups.yahoo.com/group/sfdpc/ <---

I believe that you can join from that page, if you have a yahoo account. (If you don't, signing up is pretty easy.) Alice and Rikki, I've sent you email invitations. Mark and Brennan, I unfortunately don't know your email addresses.

I'm sure there are other folks who'd be interested in getting on the list, so I'll probably keep bumping it every now and then until we scrape together all the people we can.

Brennan: No dates or locations yet. Want to suggest one or some? Right now I'm just trying to get together the email list so that we can avoid the problem we had before, of people wanting to come but just not finding out in time.

Kudos Damon! Great work :D I for one was bummed I couldn't go the last time you and Alice and the General went out to SF. I would have gone if I knew in time :)

Any ideas where we can go? How about:
1. Palace of Fine Arts
2. Napa or the winde country in late october early November (perfect for foliage)
3. Miur Woods
4. San Jose? Tech Museum, St. Joseph's Cathedral
5. Ookland or SF Zoo

To name a few. :D

Count me in too. I had already committed to shoot a concert on the day of the last GTG, and I would really love to make the next one. I'm always up for a trip to any of the locations rikki mentioned. If you do start a Yahoo group, could you post the name here so that we can all sign up? If you need help with anything, just let me know.

I'm watching this thread ... school's started so I'm having to re-orient my schedule; I'll probably miss the next GTG.
