TGGRRR (Ali)

Thanks Catalina I'll bring some spares too

Fear not!!! If it's raining we can still meet in Panera and shoot in the garage. We may even cover our cameras with towels (if you bring them) and we can shoot on the roof. Then we'll play it by ear Sound like a plan?

I love the Dragon Talk, it's like it extends the fun

I had a great time!

I signed up too. It's new so he's having some issues with the server and it's slow and having problems. I still haven't been able to change my profile picture. Not sure how much I'll keep up with it, but I'll give it a shot. Then I can be friends with you people in yet another place :rock: Ali

We know!!!! Whenever I drive Tigger on a fun road, I love him more :love:

So in two weeks I start a new job as a Fed. As soon as I had my start date, and my leave accrual rate calculated I figured out that I would accrue just barely enough time to go to the Dragon. I haven't even started the job yet, but I do have approval for the trip. Whew! I was a little worried :top:

Don't worry Laura there's always next year. Friends and family are important too.

We can give you a ride if you don't mind riding in the back of a MINI

Actually it was intentional as I know who that Stig is

Some say The Stig can absorb beer through her gloves....

Indoor MINIs is cool or we could do Urban MINIs since the garage shots always have that gritty urban look

A calendar would be cool!!:top:

It's a great idea and a lot of fun. I don't know why we didn't have a lot of participation. Maybe if we try with a different twist. Maybe once the pics from the MINI photo shoot are posted more people will be interested...

Ryan This isn't a sit down dinner. Don't let that kind of thing worry you. Just get there, park and show up. It's casual Ali

I guess we can put this as a wait and see Speaking of Park Police, I should probably contact Wolf Trap

Thanks So that could work if we get there after 5:30, just don't know if we'll have enough light then. It's over near Dulles, right?

Is it free to get into the parking lot? Do you know where it is?

I'm not sure either, I've never been to it. Can we get the cars near any of the aircraft?

I thought of that area, but it puts us in 3 different directions and for this event I am trying to keep it simple. It's the first time I'm doing it. If this event is as fun as I think it will be, we should do another one along the Potomac.

We don't really have the budget for prizes right now. Maybe if someone could get prizes donated...

So I'm trying to simplify this event since it's the first time I'm organizing something like this. Since I don't think we can find a good area in DC where we can actually park the cars and shoot the monuments I'm going to drop that portion of the day. We'll still meet in Ballston, we'll head over to Wolf Trap We should have time for one other location. What about the roof of one of the Tyson's garage's? Or does anyone know another park in that area? I was thinking of Great Falls, but I don't know of an area that we could get the cars near the river. If anyone has ideas, feel free to share. What I'm looking to do is have fun, get some good shots and have a simple route, with easy stops. Ali

It would be fun. I think the last one died because there was low participation and usually the same people entering. It would be nice to have more interest in it. Ali

I'm sure we'll still be there at 7:00. It will be fun

I hope you guys can make it, it will be a lot of fun
