Is there anyone else coming from the South Bay, who would like to carpool?

Is this a free event? if not, how much is it?

Hi Penn, there is no charge to attend this event.

Thanks Johanna. I will be coming from the South Bay but will be carpooling in the other person's car. If she doesn't go then I am open for carpooling.

It is now 3 days until the meetup, and we still do not have a firm food sponsor. Unless this changes, I do not think there will be any refreshments or food at this event so please plan accordingly.

At tomorrow?s meetup featuring Digital Photography Workflow in Lightroom 2 with Tom Hogarty, Borrow Lenses will supply 10% discount cards to attendees and a $50 gift certificate to a lucky winner for use in their camera gear and camera lens rental store! See what Borrow Lenses has in store at http://www.borrowlenses.com!

I've heard from others and everyone has good remarks about Borrow Lenses. I've yet to rent stuff from them, but sooner or later I know I will. Thanks Johanna...

I rented a 80-400mm lens from them a few weeks back for the Mavericks Surf Contest. I took about 1400 shots of the contest. Here is a link to some of my best. http://www.bit.ly/coH5kE The people at Borrow Lenses were really cool to work with which is why I asked them if they would like to sponsor the group.

Luke,
Great idea...nice work on the Maverick images too. I saw the live feed and those waves were simply "Epic"... I thought I was going to shoot it but my media credentials weren't turned in on time.

Some nice shots ther Luke on the Mavericks!

Sounds like a really fund day! Borrow Lenses Rock on.

I've used Borrow Lenses many times for a variety of gear. They make trying out new tools easy and affordable. There have been some timing snafus on delivery but that was as much my fault as theirs. All in all, a great deal!

Another option would be Keeble and Schucat in Palo Alto. I just pick up the item on the reserved date. No hassles.

Please excuse if this is a redundant question, but I thought I saw a posting about available parking. Can anyone illuminate?

Is there a parking garage nearby and would anyone know how much it costs? Thanks.

Jennifer - if you're talking about parking @ Adobe, there's easy street parking right next to it - usually within 1/2 block.

Quite a bit of togs in the group. It is worthwhile for Borrow Lenses to sponsor us!

Because of the size of attendance, the meeting will not be streamed via Adobe Connect. We'll work on this for future meetings, I know it is a popular request! But we can talk to Tom and hopefully we can post his presentation post-meeting on our webite and he can write a guest blog post for us too.

I always have no issue finding street parking after 6pm in the area. There are 2 Garages on Townsend just down from Adobe, but I think they close at 9pm so please keep that in mind.

Don't forget to bring your $$ for the Raffle tonight!

Buy your tickets starting at 6:30pm until the start of our presentation around 7pm.
Tickets will be sold for $3 each or 2 tickets for $5.
