Looking forward to it! Oh, and the plan is to grab some tables in the side patio area.

Repeat performances are always a possibility.

Repeat performances are always a possibility.

On a weekend, I hope! 🙂

 

[RayPA]

BUMP!

Steve, we'll have to talk about a meeting/shoot in Sac before it gets too hot up there. I bet you can come up with some good locations for a group.

Glad to hear you can make it, Mike. Yeah, I've been kinda busy over the last 9+ months opening my new firm. Just starting to get back into shooting. Looking forward to Thursday night.

I really wish I could join you, guys! How's the weather in that part of the world? Sunny, at least? It's rainy and gray here... And we had snow (8 inches) just last Sunday! 😱

Yeah, wish you could make it too. It's been gorgeous this week, definitely spring has sprung.

Picking up my sister at the airport. If I can get out of dinner in San Mateo soon enough I'll pop down. I love the BBC, fun place!

Ray,
I'm still trying to make it to my first "Beer & Gear" event, but its not going to happen yet! :-( We're packing for our first ever trip to The Land of Disney. I must be crazy to attempt it on Spring Break, but that's what the 7-yr. old wants.

Gads, I keep forgetting to check the bay area forum. Sorry, I missed again, and it sounded like my kind of place.

 

[ItsReallyDarren]

Great meeting everyone out there tonight.

Tons of cameras, beer, and spooky pictures of each other!

 

[PMCC]

Thanks Ray for organizing, and for the open invite to Blow-Up! Great vibe, books, beer and truly kickass gear. Good to meet the faces behind the RFF avatars, and the homage to Helen Levitt was fitting.

Peter.

P.S. I was taken by the idea of pet names for antique Leicas -- it puts a human face on GAS. It's too bad "Creampuff" has already been taken. ;-)

P.P.S. Thanks of a grateful drinker to the unknown who bought me the beer, and sorry if I made fun of your enviable camera. It's just the beer making GAS.

 

[ferider]

Was fun meeting you guys. 🙂

 

[vrgard]

Was a good time. Enjoyed seeing old friends and meeting new ones. When I have time tomorrow I'll post some of the "spooky" pics I took.

[Papercut]

Great meeting everyone -- new faces and old (not that I'm calling any of you "old" or anything... damn, there I go being annoying like a papercut again). Excellent gear and even better conversation all evening long! Big thanks to "Halfway Ray" for taking the lead in making it happen. ... and I think my toes and fingers are just about thawed out now.

I agree we should do a Sac get together before it gets furnace-like up there.
