Bump for evening readers.
I agree with viajero's suggestions - so it's Saturday, 7 Oct (I think it's the 7th) at 2:00 pm, meeting at the capitol, in parking lot 14.
Who's in? |

I'm all for it. Having 2 little ones, can't commit 100% 'cause I don't know what will happen in 3 days, but I have a 100% desire to be there.
Also, Gordon Didn't chime in - he is still in Austin, me thinks. |

I usually park right beside the capitol building. Never had trouble parking there. I'm in, but I do have an 11 year old and I'm not sure what to do with him. LOL Hubby works til around 6 or so. Maybe I can figure something out. I just don't like leaving him home for hours on end.
Count me in!!!
Is yanko coming? I sent him an email. Also to HornOUBet and arsenal. I offered to talk to arsenal's parents, since he's only 15. I wrote Gordon a note.
Anyone we are leaving out??

Bring your youngun's if you got 'em! They can be models whether they like it or not. :-) Heck, they may even get into being around a bunch of really weird adults pointing cameras at everything - you never know! |

I PM'ed my cell number to those who've said they're in since we agreed on a time. If anyone else wants to come but isn't sure they can make it at 2:00 speak up and I'll send you my number. You can call and try to catch up with us when you can. |

I'll send mine out to a few of you as well.
Looking forward to meeting everyone! |

I want to come but it looks like my kids have a band competition on Saturday that I might not be able to get out of.... |

David - what time does it get over? Or is it in the evening? Wondering if you could join us for at least part of the day. Maybe the SA based gang can meet up before we head to Austin for a cup of coffee or something. |

Woo hoo. I can't believe we're really going to do this. I've been really busy at work (and at night) and haven't been able to keep up with the thread, but I'm in wherever, whenever. Deb, wanna ride together? I'll call Theresa and see if she can go with us.
On the 2 times I've shot the capitol, I've parked across the street from the main entrance.
Can't wait!

Sadly, folks NOT from don't realize that to us, 60 is cold! |

srdanz - are you coming?? Bring the kids. We'll juggle them. I'll bring tons of candy, so they'll get hyper and then we'll take their pictures.
ROFL
So what do we do besides take pics at the capitol? I live here and can't think of anything to do. HA

So what do we do besides take pics at the capitol?
Texas State Cemetery, bats, downtown skyline from various places, street scenes on Congress, Town Lake, boats on the lake, people running around the lake, bridges over the lake, birds/animals on the lake, old power plant, whatever happens to be going on at Zilker that day, botanical gardens.
That's all I can think of right now, but it should keep us busy for an afternoon!

Heh, there's always Zilker Park. It is GREAT for candid people shots, there's water and we could all ride the train!!!

I won't make it to the capitol @ 14:00, but I hope to catch up with you later... I have Mike's cell so I'll try to find y'all downtown. I may bring the kid(s), too. |

If you use the link that Mike posted earlier, it'll show the parking lots. I think the one we'll aim for is Parking Lot 14, which looks to be across 11th street from the capitol.
Srdan, just give us a call - we'll find you!
Roseann, were you able to change your plans? Will you be there?
I suppose I should check to see if I have gas in the car... :-) |

This is pretty last second, sorry folks, but I'm gonna jump in my car and try to find you guys. Melethia, sorry, I forgot to respond to your PM.

Dang, folks, that was a BLAST!!!
To Judy, Sandy, Mike, Matt, and Mauri (did I spell that right?), THANKS for an outstanding day! Now get processing and post stuff! :-) And don't forget - if anyone is going to use shots of (you know) from (you know where) in any challenge, let the rest of us know so we won't use our nearly identical shots. :-)
What fun!! I had a really, really good time. And Matt, don't forget you're in charge of the group shots - Sandy will fill in the names if need be.
