Please RSVP - Annual Shindig - January 29, 2011 - At Qube Visual

The date has been chosen as Jan 29, 2011. Please join us for our 8th Annual RMNP get-together at QUBE Visual --> here! Please RSVP here if you are attending and let us know what you will be bringing -(we need $$$, food (we will have subway and pizza like usual), soda/beer, tables, and Alex's beer ) - (@Brent - pipe in if I am forgetting something))

Also, if you are not able to post here anymore just shoot me an email and let me know that you would like to join us.

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. This annual event is enjoyed by all and we welcome all RMNP members/participants to join in the celebration and fun.

Besides food, drink and socializing, we'll have these activities on hand:

Print and Portfolio Sharing - Bring a print, portfolio, and/or other projects you're working on to share with others.

Print Exchange - Bring any print you would like to exchange. If you have suggestions let us know to modify the rules. We will consider changes if they make sense otherwise it will be business as usual. The rules are posted, below

Gear Swap/Sale- Bring photography related gear you wish to sell or trade. We will set up a table where we can display all items. Please tag items with your name.

Print Exchange / White Elephant Rules

To participate in the event, you must bring a print of any size, either loose or matted and mounted. (Suggested size is 8x10 or larger.) The print must be covered, wrapped, or rolled so the image is not visible.


All covered prints will be placed on a table.


Each person draws a number to determine the order of play.


For the first round, the person with the lowest number picks a covered print from the table and reveals it to the group.


For each subsequent round, the person with the next highest number either picks a covered print from the table and reveals it to the group, or steals a previously revealed print from another person.


If the person picks a covered print, the game moves to the next round.


If the person decides to steal someone else print, he/she replaces the item by either picking a covered print from the table, or stealing another person’s print. This step continues until everyone has a print in hand, and the game moves to the next round.


There is no limit to the number of times a print can be stolen; however, each print may only be stolen once per round.


If the person from the first round still has the original item after the last round of the game, he/she may choose to steal any other print, resulting in one more round of the game.

Sorry to say that I'm going to miss the shindig. Last week my sister talked me into going to Disney World instead! I'm sure you will have a great time and I will be thinking of you all.

Oh, man, this is the second year in a row I'm going to be out of town shindig weekend.

I'll be there with $ and a print. I'm hoping to get a discount code for anyone interested in ordering F-Stop gear that I can bring to the gathering.

I'm going to try to attend. Since others will be bringing $$$, I'll be a wise guy and bring ¢¢¢.

Unfortunately I won't be able to make it this year, I will be in Death Valley!

@Steve - Dang - I was hoping to win your print in the White Elephant.

Well, looks like my wires are crossed and I may have some logistical issues with the shindig. I've got plans to be in Breck that weekend. So now I'm uncertain whether I'll be there. If I can make it, I'll bring $ and a print. If not I'll be very disappointed to miss it this year. Its always a highlight, especially to steal Steve's print from Rich in the white elephant.

thanks Brent!!

Sorry I didn't make it. Work didn't go as smoothly since we had to deal with power outages on the East Coast. I'm sure everyone had a blast and hope to see you out on the trails.
