Keith & Rebecca, Rick and I were talking today about your upcoming visit and getting together for dinner. We thought it might be a lot of fun to get the Colorado Springs participants on Spirit of Photography all together for a pizza and beer when you are here. It would be a great way for all of us to finally meet each other. So, if you are interested and Keith/Rebecca can make it, let us know. Of course, we will work around Keith/Rebecca's schedule.

Hi Sue and Rick,
What an excellent idea! We haven't quite pinned down our schedule yet (probably around the first week in February), but I'll talk with Rebecca and we'll try to come up with more definite dates. We'd love to get together when we're in town.

Hi Sue and Rick,
I talked to Rebecca, and it looks like we will be arriving in Colorado Springs on Tuesday, 26 January 2010, and Rebecca will be returning to Kanasas on Sunday, the 31st of January. (I will be staying in Colorado for another week and then continuing on to Reno, Nevada, for the Nature Photography Summit presented by NANPA.) Please let us know what dates would work best for you.
We're both looking forward to meeting.

Keith, let's plan on January 30th then. Saturdays are always better for us since Rick works until 6:00pm and it makes for a late dinner. If we can't get a group together for some reason, then you can just come over to our house for dinner. If we get a group, then perhaps we could go to Extreme Pizza on Academy or anyplace else is fine with us. Just let me know and I'll make the arrangements.

Sue,
That sounds great! If you want, I can send an email out to the Colorado Springs members inviting them on the 30th. How about if you pick the time and place, then I'll send the email?
Keith

Keith, I'm so glad you have an email address for everyone. Depending upon how many can attend, let's say meet at 5:30pm at Extreme Pizza on Academy Blvd. If this time isn't good for you, please feel free to change it. If by some chance we get more than 20 people, then we'll probably have to switch the location. I don't know if they could handle that many, but I can always find out.

Sue,
Sounds great! I'll send out an email within the next couple of days. (We're out of town now, so I'll have to find time to get on the internet.)

Rick let me know about your visit the last time I was at the office. I all ready have it marked off in my books. I'm looking forward to seeing you soon and catching up before we meet again at NANPA in Reno.

Thanks Cindy. Rebecca and I are looking forward to seeing everyone too!

I've sent out an email invite to Spirit of Photography members in the Colorado Springs area, and hope to hear back from many of you soon.
To recap, we'll be meeting at 5:30 PM on the 30th of January at Extreme Pizza on Academy Blvd in Colorado Springs. This should be a great opportunity to meet fellow photographers, talk about our adventures, and maybe plan a few outings for 2010.
Here's a link to the map: http://maps.google.ca/maps?f=q&hl=en&geocode=&q=7340+N.+Academy+colorado+springs&sll=39.485147,-106.045811&sspn=0.00626,0.007188&ie=UTF8&ll=38.939484,-104.798048&spn=0.006309,0.007188&z=16&iwloc=addr
Please RSVP by responding to this thread if you plan to attend so we can make sure we have enough room to accomodate everyone on the 30th.
We hope to see you there!

I will plan on attending, sounds like fun. :)
Are you having people bring any images?
Joyce

Hi Joyce,
I'm glad you will be able to join us.
You're welcome to bring images if you would like; however this was really intended to be more of a social gathering where we could meet other photographers and get caught up with old friends.
We'd love to see images from any recent travels, and hear about your adventures.

What a great idea! Now let's hope the great blizzard of 2010 doesn't happen on January 30. Keith and Rebecca, the neighborhood isn't the same without you guys. It will be wonderful to see you again and to make some new acquaintances that share a passion for photography. Count Stephen and I in.

I' m so excited about this, I will try my best to attend for I will be working that day, I will have to trade a shift or something. Id like to meet everybody.

I hope you can make it! We're looking forward to meeting you in person.

Rick and Sue,
Please add three more to the count! Barbara von Hoffman and Michele and Steve Vaughan are going to try to make it as well. This is very exciting to be able to see so many of you in our short trip out there. Thank you, Rick and Sue for coming up with this! I'm really looking forward to it!

Tom and I are planning to attend. Thanks for the invite, looking forward to seeing you.

Hi Ellen,
Thank you! I was hoping to get a chance to talk with you and Tom while we're in Colorado Springs. I'm really looking forward to this get together.

I know Rebecca sent out thank you's this morning, but I wanted to add my thanks as well for the wonderful visit we had with all of you during the Pizza party. Sue and Rick, you picked the perfect location. Rebecca, Evan, McKenzie and I enjoyed visiting with everyone, and I wish I could have somehow spent more time talking to each one of you.
Talking about photography with you reinvigorated my desire to get out there and photograph. After my return from the NANPA Summit in Reno, I need to spend some time planning our photography trips for the year.
I visited a bit more with Tom and Ellen today, and Tom and I talked about how much we enjoyed the "outing" to Silver Dollar lake the summer before last. I'd like to somehow get back out here to Colorado for more "outings" this coming summer (or Fall). If anyone has any recommendations on where we might go for a day shoot, just let me know and I'll start the planning.
Thank you again for a wonderful evening, and for helping to reinvigorate my love for photography. If you haven't seen them already, there are a few pics from the event at this link. http://www.spiritofphotography.com/coppermine/thumbnails.php?album=215&page=1 (Most were taken by the self-designated photographer, Evan Parks Snell.)
