Will be there - bringing a dip & chips.
I assume this will be in the evening. What time ???

We decided that since we always seem to have so little time together to start it earlier. So the party is going to begin at 4PM this year.

I'll be there. Will bring pizza $, but since I've got to come direct from work in COS, I'm not sure I'll cart anything else besides a print up.

Doh! The 17th is a Saturday, so I guess I'll bring up something eatable too.
Posted by Matthew Kennedy on December 12, 2008 at 7:39 PM

Posted by Don Eason on December 27, 2008 at 4:41 PM
I'm bummed; looks like I will miss this again. I am off to the NAMM show in CA that weekend (those of you who are musicians will know what that is) "drumming up" business. Hope y'all have a great time, in fact I'm sure you will! :toast:

Posted by Kurt Rinne on January 5, 2009 at 12:39 AM
I will attend and bring some $$ for pizza. I'd also like to be part of the White Elephant if anyone can provide more info about that it would be appreciated.
Posted by Rene Pirolt on January 5, 2009 at 3:35 PM
Hi Kurt

If you wish to participate in the White Elephant, just bring a print of any of your photographs.

Last year people brought images that were 8x10 or larger. (Some were a lot larger!). You can mount and mat, or leave as loose print – your choice.

Please make sure it is wrapped, rolled, or covered in a way that you cannot see the image until is opened.

If you have any questions, just shoot me an email via link, below.
Posted by Erik Stensland on January 5, 2009 at 6:16 PM
I plan to come as well. I'll bring $ and maybe some brownies.
Posted by Scott Fricke on January 5, 2009 at 7:46 PM
I'll be there. Will bring chips and pop.
Posted by Monte Trumbull on January 5, 2009 at 8:35 PM
My son and I will be there. We will bring money for pizza and beer. Let me know if you still need chairs or tables.
Posted by Rene Pirolt on January 6, 2009 at 2:10 PM
Bret - great to hear that you and Melissa will make it!

Monty - if you or anyone has any tables, we can definitely use them. Thanks!
Posted by Jeremy Week on January 6, 2009 at 3:03 PM
I'll be there and bring some $ for food. Looking forward to it!
Posted by George Hager on January 7, 2009 at 12:52 PM
My computer is acting a little goofy so I better reply while I still can. I'll be there barring a blizzard. Will bring some shrimp. Probably have two other folks coming as well, but they are still unsure. They will contribute $ to food.
Posted by Paul Martin on January 8, 2009 at 2:24 PM
Sorry I can't make it this year, last year's get together was great. I'll try and soak up a few rays in Maui for all of my fellow RMNP'ers :biggrin:
Posted by Art Escobado on January 11, 2009 at 10:22 AM

Posted by Richard Voninski on January 13, 2009 at 2:20 PM
Bill,

Yes you can easily park in their parking lot. But advice to all, don't keep valuables in your cars since we did have a problem several years ago with theft.

Posted by Richard Voninski on January 13, 2009 at 7:50 PM
I broke the event page today trying to put up the attendees for the event on Saturday. Rene where are you? The event specifics are listed above and everything is all a go for Saturday starting at 4PM at Qube. Looking forward to seeing everybody.

I'll be there with Melissa. We will bring some finger food to keep hunger at bay while we are waiting for the pizza.
Posted by Les Barstow on January 14, 2009 at 2:46 PM
I have to back out, unfortunately. It's going to be odd not being there... We're definitely going to have to have a group outing this year.
Posted by ALEKS_MIESAK on January 14, 2009 at 6:23 PM
I've been a "lurker" on the forum but I plan on attending the event.

I will be bringing a print, chocolate cookies and maybe some home brewed beer ... unless I have a bad day at work between now and then and drink it all on my own :wink:
Posted by Tony Litschewski on January 15, 2009 at 9:04 AM
Looks like I'll be able to make it this year. I'll bring along one, possilbly two, lurkers on the forum. We'll bring some chicken and coleslaw.
Posted by Richard Voninski on January 15, 2009 at 10:27 AM

Hey, everyone...
Just wanted to drop a note to say how much I enjoyed the shindig. It was fun seeing old friends and meeting new ones!
Thanks for organizing the event, and I can't wait for the next one.
:toast:
Posted by John Klotz on January 18, 2009 at 12:42 AM
Richie, Rene, Brent - you guys rock! Thanks for another great shindig! Ditto Bobs remarks!
Posted by Kurt Rinne on January 18, 2009 at 12:46 AM
Tonight’s Shindig was great,
It was nice finally putting faces to names of all the great photos I’ve seen on this site.
And to see some of the photos in actual print form was truly wonderful.
Thanks to everyone who organized this event. I look forward to next year’s shindig.

Kurt
