Please join us for our 5th Annual RMNP get together! Last year's shindig was a great success, and we'd love to meet the new RMNP members that have joined us during the year. It is really hard to believe that this is the 5th year. This annual event is enjoyed by all and we welcome all members to join in the celebration and fun.
For those of you who are new or those that havent been before, once a year we have a big party at Qube Visual to talk about photography, share pictures/portfolios, eat, drink and be merry. We encourage people to upload 10 images that we can use in a slideshow on the events page.
For the party we will be needing the following items:
Food (ie: anything you like, people have brought everything from salad to cookies before)
Beverages (ie: Beer, soft drinks, wine etc)
Fold up tables
Pizza & Wings money (make a donation to the cause)
If you plan on going please respond to this thread and let us know what you plan on bringing.
The party will be at Qube Visual

I'm looking forward to meeting some of the other members. I'll bring a whole batch of homemade chocolate chip cookies and some DR Pepper to drink.
See you on the 19th!
Obviously, I'll bring some money as well.
Posted by Mel Ladewig on November 28, 2007 at 2:14 PM
I'll be bringing some beer and money for the pizza fund.
I am planning on bringing cookies (as long as Veronica is willing to make them) and make a donation to the cause. I will be posting the details for everybody coming and food being brought over on the events page sometime this weekend.

I will bring Guacomole and chips plus money for Pizza, etc.
Last year was a blast, can't wait!
Posted by Joshua Hardin on December 2, 2007 at 10:54 PM
I'm in. I'll bring some beer, and if you were there last year you remember I drink good beer.
Posted by Amy Lindsey on December 3, 2007 at 3:18 PM
I'll think of you all while stuck in gloomy Indiana. Wish i could be there!
I'll bring some cashish for pizza/wings plus some beer and possibly a dessert should my wife be inclined to do some baking. :)
I'll be there with my wife and I look forward to meeting everyone!
Posted by John Klotz on December 24, 2007 at 11:23 PM
Count me in too! With all that beer flowin' guess I better ante up and bring some Wings to munch on.

As luck would have it, it turns out that my fiancee has signed up for a work training course in Denver that weekend. I'll now tag along and join the fun. It'll be nice to put some faces to names. Count me in for some dough towards pizza/wings.
Posted by Brent Murphy on January 3, 2008 at 7:46 PM
I'll be there. I'll bring some tortilla pinwheels or something. Not sure if the wife is coming.
It is quite likely that I will be in attendance with a double-sawbuck contribution for grub.

Wish I could make it, sounds like a ton of fun. Plus I would like to meet all the fantastic people here in the forum. Unfortunately (or fortunately depending on how you look at it), I'll be in Breck with my wife and mother-in-law cruising the mountain. Have a great time!

Will bring something to eat...are there rules for the print swap?
Posted by Les Barstow on January 7, 2008 at 6:21 PM
I hope there are some rules. (As opposed to last time...)
The White Elephant rules we used here at work recently were:
* all items hidden/covered to start
* each person gets a number and play proceeds in numerical order from there
* person picks an item, or "steals" an item already taken
* items "stolen" are replaced by a newly picked item, or via another "steal".
* items cannot be immediately "stolen" back.
* items can only pass into 3 sets of hands - i.e. two "steals". After that, the item is "frozen".
* If the first person to choose still has their original item at the end, they can choose to "steal" in exchange for the item they have; this proceeds as per a normal "steal" - i.e. the person "stolen" from can in turn "steal" from someone else, until everyone's happy or there are no more items available to "steal".

BTW, I will be bringing my wife, so count me in for two and not just one!
Posted by Rene Pirolt on January 8, 2008 at 12:37 AM
Les,
I think to keep the entertainment going and to simplify the rules, I don’t think we should limit the steal to 3 for each item.
In other words, any item can be stolen – but each item is limited to ONE steal per round. (So, a person cannot immediately steal back an item).
Posted by Les Barstow on January 8, 2008 at 10:18 AM
Works for me - I was just putting forward a set of rules as an alternative to being confused!
I will be there and will bring beer and $$$ for pizza. I will also bring a copy of my new book, "Seasons of Light" which I will offer as a door prize or raffle item. I'll also bring a print although I'm having trouble with this old brain getting a grasp of the stealing rules!

Looks like this year I'll finally be able to make it -- usually this event falls on my birthday and I have other plans. I'm looking forward to meeting everyone at long last I'll definitely chip in for pizza and since there seems to be a lot of beer, I'll bring some soft drinks.
Posted by Chris Ebright on January 10, 2008 at 1:07 AM
I will be there with some money. and I will be drinking everyone else's beer!
Posted by Rick Dunn on January 13, 2008 at 10:22 AM
Wish I could be there - this will be the first one I've missed I think. I'll raise a beer from here, though. Cheers!!
Posted by Derek Sedillo on January 13, 2008 at 12:22 PM
What, you mean your not driving out from Oregon? LOL...
I guess that is a bit far to go to party. But you guys will be missed this year that is for sure.
I am planning on being there and will probably bring some greens like a salad and/or other veggies. I'm trying to maintain my girlish figure after the Holidays.
Posted by Ken Wyatt on January 13, 2008 at 7:01 PM
Looks like I'll be able to attend this year. I'll be bringing my tour co-leader, Adam Letchnir. Put us down for soft drinks.

It looks like I'll be able to make it. I'll bring some snacks and pizza$. I also have a 2 ft x 4 ft. folding table if needed.
Posted by Bill Pelzmann on January 17, 2008 at 7:21 PM
Darn, I almost made it back to Denver this weekend - then my business meeting got postponed for a week. Close.
Posted by Grant Collier on January 18, 2008 at 1:59 AM
It looks like I may be able to make this after all. I'll bring $$$ if I come.
Posted by Fred Stearns on January 18, 2008 at 9:21 PM
Update. Melissa and I will be there with a Texas Sheet Cake,
