Returning to San Francisco CA in May '12

[SolaresLarrave]

Not a thread bump, but an important message.

I'm presnting in a session that ends at 2:15 PM. I would like to change (in my hotel room) and then go to the Ferry Building (I'll take a cab!) to be there at 2:45 PM or thereabouts. I hope this is OK for those involved... 🙂

See you soon!

I have one obligation on Saturday, but if things work out in time, I'd love to join you guys and say hi to Francisco. Keep us posted!

 

[SolaresLarrave]

We'll meet at the small cafe in the San Francisco Museum of Art across the street from Yerba Buena Gardens at about 2:45 PM. Ken's suggestion. We can see the exhibit and shoot the streets or have a beer of all of the above! 🙂 I'll have my Leica M5 and so will Ken, so we'll be the rogue guys.

Francisco- If you have trouble picking out Mike from the crowd as you wait for us here a pic of him from a get together a few years back.

Same day, Kent-

And from last week, for Kent's latest look-

Man do my white glasses look nice or what! The banana hammock in the previous shot speaks for itself.

If Darren will gear up we could have 3 M5s there, a new record 😉

Francisco/Kent: Is the plan to see the Mexican Photography exhibit?

Peter- Francisco expressed an interest so yes, we'll probably do a tour through 🙂

Looks like I'll be able to make it after all. I was stuck south of the border and had Mike spring me out of jam. I made my way back up just in time for Saturday but Mike said he needed to "stay behind" and take care of a few things.

I'll be packing the M5 but it won't work too well in its crippled state. 1/1000 never really worked when I got it and now 1/500 is gone too.

Good news Darren, seeya tomorrow. Sorry to hear about the M5...time for a trip to Sherry.

Gail and I are going on a 9 day road trip to Oregon tomorrow morning, so I'm going to miss out on the usual non-stop drug and booze binge this time around 🙂. I'll catch you guys next time, if there is a next time...

Have a fun trip Warren!

Sad for some, I just returned to God's country. Might hit dim sum early, and then see folks at sfmoma.

And who's turn is it to burn in effigy the biggest wanker with a chip on his shoulder that over-posts on RFF?

 

[coelacanth]

Wow M5 party huh? If I bring Mamiya 7 and M2, do I get the M5 credential?

Sug, I think the party was cancelled. Some became concerned that if we got too many M5s in close proximity to each other, the gravitational attraction of objects that dense may overcome the repulsive force of seeing them. The subsequent chain-reaction as their three lugs align and meters flip out, could destabilize the earths angular velocity.

 

[coelacanth]

LOLed, Mike.

I got out of earlier commitment just after 6pm. Sigh. Hope you guys all had a good time..

 

[MikeL]

We missed you Sug!

Good to see everyone, and Francisco, hope to see you before another 4 years go by!

 

[kdemas]

32 people, what a turnout! Thanks to everyone for coming!!

Great to see Francisco again in the City named after him. Safe travels back and ont worry about that rash you got from Mike, a little anti-biotics should clear it right up!

Love to chat but I need to check the vertical alignment on every camera I own, evidently my muscular fore(five?)head has been knocking them out.

 

[ItsReallyDarren]

Francisco, great meeting and chatting with you. Hope you enjoy the rest of your stay here.

Following rff meetup traditions, something of mine breaks every time we get together. I was lucky this time as it was only a lens that unscrewed itself halfway through the day.
