Future Shootout location suggestions

Having missed the dinner on the last night of this year's Shootout, I'm not sure if the question of future locations was posed. However, I was thinking the other day that an 'urban' Shootout might be a great alternative to the expansive National Park locations that have been done to date. I was specifically thinking of NYC or San Francisco. Both offer great landscape opportunities. Additionally, it might be possible to recruit a pro like B.D. Colen for PJ/Street shots and thus expand the scope of the Shootout. I'm sure Andy would have lots of suggestions for NYC locations. And an SF shoot would have to include a trip to Smugmug HQ:wink
Just a thought,
E

    At the dinner Andy announced that next year would be Yellowstone and the Grand Tetons.

    Daniel asked for a Puffin Shoot :D in my neck of the woods (New Brunswick, Canada) and I'm actually working on an idea for 2011 to see if it would fly with everyone. We are the hidden gem of the Maritime Provinces photographically speaking.iloveyou.gif

    E - one of the wonderful things about meeting and making friends on these shootouts, and getting a sense of what they are about, is that you can now organize ad hoc! Recall that is what I did when we first met in Washington - just started a thread and the rest just happened! :D

    San Fran is fabulous, and there are plenty of Grinners there that would meet up for such an event. I am also pretty sure you would be welcomed at HQ with open arms.

    I've never been to NYC, but think it would be fab too.

    The shootouts and mini shootouts are for the community by the community, all they take is a leader!
