Although it seems everyone knows each other I may be an odd man out!!! Lol
Not at all. There are always a few new folks at each meetup, so it's just your turn. Come on by. We usually have a pretty good time.

I wonder how often you NY RRF'ers do meet? My niece has an apartment on Manhattan that my wife and I plan to borrow for a long weekend or so. It would be nice if this could coincide with such a meet. We will not be able to this meeting at the 18th though.

Gear Whore #1
We have had meet-ups monthly since December 2009. A January Meet-Up had a huge turnout and is now urban legend. Always a good time and lots of laughs. Sometimes over the top; in an earlier meet-up we had the first annual M-body beauty pagent. LOL. Generally the meet-ups are towards the end of the month.
I slur the English language and call Manhattan- Madhattan.
There's always mucho cool gear. This meet-up I will bring my Ti Wetzlar M6 that will feature a TA Rapidwinder, TA Rapidgrip, Leica 1.40X magnifier and a custom Calzone intergrated neck/handstrap that has been rigged for use with my 75 Lux.

Looking forward to seeing this Cal-original neck/hand strap, not to mention the Rapidwinder (snagged one off eBay?).
I'm going to bring my new Nokton 35/1.2 'cause it's about the coolest lens I've ever owned and so some proselytizing.

Im actually selling my barely used/near mint copy so maybe I should bring it as well just in case anyone gets some impulse GAS

If you do, I will insist that someone buy it. It is that good. Or at least buy a beer for the person who does.

It really is an amazing lens. One of the best ive ever used. Unfortunately, I am going to be Leica-less for the next year or two and it has to go!

Finally at home...
Wow! A meeting in NYC. Sounds like a dream for me.
Make sure to try "Jever Pilsner" but stay away from any kind of "bock beer" in such a heat. You won't be able to hold you cam anymore after some.

Andre you dog. Now that you are coming this gear hog has to bring out all my MF gear as a payback for the biggest GAS attack ever created. Expect to see "Junior" a Mamiya 6 with a 50/4.0; a Rolleiflex 3.5F "Whiteface" freshly overhauled by Harry Fleenor and with a new Maxwell screen; and a Tele Rolleiflex version 1.
Revenge, "I say."
For people who missed the legendary January Meet-Up, Andre brought out some of his cool gear and one of his rigs was a Rolleiflex. When I checked out his Flicker I not only became inspired: I became obsessed. Since the January Meet-Up Andre has been laying low.
Now I'm totally broke... LOL.

Bump! Time minus three and a half hours. I'll be there unless I die of heat stroke on the way.

Agreed! I had a great time as well and it was a real pleasure meeting and spending the afternoon with such an awesome group of people! I hadn't been able to make it to a meeting since the giant January bash and I'm really hoping to be able to attend more frequently going forward
OH, and here are some quick and dirty gear pics that i snapped (BTW the absolutely sick part is that this is only a fraction of what was out on display). Enjoy:
EDIT: Not sure why these wont embed...Sorry! Anyone have any ideas?
