James and I are still looking forward to it. Can you give me the name of the hotel we stayed at last time? I've forgotten and I know we will need to get reservations!!! (If there are any rooms left!)

01/21/2009 11:38:43 PM · #28

I believe it was the Hampton Inn on Gould Dr. in Bossier City. (i think)

Who will be attending? JT and I are committed and Ken lives there, so no excuses...lol, 'sides...he has to get us on the base! :P
And then there's the parade....muahahaha!

Right now it looks like Steve is still a maybe. Clay pm'd me and said it depends on his schedule based on work. So the only 'definites' are the same 'group' as last year. (all 3 of us)

Now, if they knew that out of the trip to the base you and I achieved 1 PB each, and you got a 'TOP TEN' in the 'Best of 2008' then we may get a couple more people to show up.

I haven't talked to Clay about just meeting us around his schedule once we have times set.

Friday Evening: Night river shots
Sat Morning: Base
Sat Afternoon/Evening: Parade
Sun Morning: Base
Sun Afternoon: Who knows!

Beer and a Bump!

That's what I'm talking about! Just hope it's not as cold as it was last year. My fingers FROZE!!! And I got tons of shots, but not many beads **mutters something not for children to hear and stomps off**

Maybe I'll get better candids, lol! Guess I have to rig up the XT for James to use again, lol. (Heaven help us all...)

Looking forward to it!!!

01/23/2009 09:23:56 PM · #32

Yeah, but he got 'Girls Kissing Girls' and probably gotten more with a little bit of prompting! Give him the XT and I am following him.

01/23/2009 09:26:16 PM · #33

Whatever...I got great beads! :P

It's not looking like I am going to be able to make this one. Have an out of state wedding in March that I am going to be needing those $$ for.

02/06/2009 11:07:23 AM · #38

Ken, it's just us again...and it's going to be SO much fun! If we do a midnight shoot on Friday, let me know. I'll bring a tiny flashlight this time, lol! (And gloves!) I'm getting excited!

Clay hasn't gotten back with me yet on his work schedule for that weekend yet. So he is still a maybe.

Any other Shreveport area folks out there that haven't chimed in yet? At least one morning, hopefully both if the weather holds, we will be shooting out at the base by the lakes. Kat's and my top rated photos were both shot out there from last years GTG.

8 day countdown!

02/13/2009 11:44:42 PM · #41

And I'm counting, too!! Can't wait!! I think we are going to try and get out of here early-ish Friday afternoon! Let me know what I need to bring you! Bag of cane sugar? Beer? Beads? Oh, wait...we'll (hopefully) get beads! :) Beer is a constant and the sugar you mentioned when you were in Dallas, rofl!

Do you now what the temperature is supposed to be this time?? my coat fell apart from the cold last time and my fingers went numb! :P

Put your order in and I'll see what I can do. :)

Right now it looks the mornings are going to be around 40DegF and the highs around 60. If you go to www.weather.com and put in zip 71105 you can look at the weekend or 10 day forecast.

Still haven't heard from Clay.

On valentines day I spent some time with Marge. It started out as a very nice day...

...and the Centaur parade was about to break out and there were a few people...

...with plenty of security...

...and some of them were dressed quite uniquely...

...and the parade finally broke out after dark.

It was a good valentine's day!

There were other views available last Saturday and should be here next Saturday.
