Dgrin Meetups - Midwest & Central

What time Sunday works for everyone?

I could do morning (but not too early since I work 'til midnight Saturday night), but other times during the day are also possible.

As mentioned previously I would prefer an afternoon meet up time since I'll be doing an wedding the night before and won't get back until quite late. 1pm? 2pm?

I can do Sunday morning but I'll have to leave early. I work at 1PM. New job so I just got my schedule. If this Sunday is going to be hard for us to meet we can reschedule. Or we don't all need to be there at once, I could meet David there in the morning and then David could meet with Shima once I leave. Any other ideas?

Afternoon is fine with me. I've never been to CBG before. This place is huge looking at their website. And it's open til 9pm!

Cool It will be my first time there as well. We should probably all exchange cell #'s in case we're having troubles finding one another.

It's open 7am - sunset. Morning is OK but nothing before 9am. Still thinking this one through. :confused

This is why my contract states 2-4 weeks before they get anything... you should contemplate adding something like that in if it's not there already... cuz having to start doing that already on Sunday sounds painful! ::hugs:: best of luck with it!

I'm in the process of moving to Hoonah, Alaska for a job starting August 3rd... I need to get it done and over with, otherwise I would've included a two week clause for editing.

Ahhhhhh, makes sense then. Best of luck with it, wish I could meet you before you leave, but doesn't look like that will happen.

yeah, would've been fun doing a group meetup!

Yay! My husband has off on Sunday, so he's going to join us. Stuffjunkie and I were thinking of a 2pm meetup. Who else does that work for?

Me. 2 is fine. I (or "we" - working on that) might arrive earlier. I'd like to overlap with Nick if possible, but the other half might not want to make an entire day of it. Like I say - working on that.

The best meeting place I can think of is right outside the entrance of their cafe restaurant, in the building smack dab in the middle of the joint.

Never been there, but we'll figure out where that is. I'm going to PM you w/ my cell #.

Looks like 2pm is good for several of us. I spoke to David earlier today and afternoon works best. We should be at the cafe enterance at the CBG about 2pm Sunday. C U there.

Yup! See you then

It looks like I'm not going to be able to make it at all. Sorry, just bad timing. Hope you all have fun and I'm sure we'll get together again. Make sure you start a thread letting us all know how it went.

Had a great time together with everyone today, can't wait to Chicago Botanical Gardens round 2... that place is awesome! I'll post photos later this week, still getting caught up on my wedding photos from yesterday at the moment

Successful outing with the local Dgrin/SM shooters. Excellent weather and company! The day wasn't long enough for proper coverage of that place. Must... do... another.

Nick, we missed you! Maybe next time???

Thread here with some results. Add to it if you got 'em.

I'm in Chicago every so often for work. Usually around Midway, Wood Dale and others.

I'm going to be in Wichita next week (Tues - Thurs).

I'll keep the in mind that some might be persuaded to come to KC to shoot.

I can't really be the only one around KC to attend these forums...anyone else?

We can include some BBQ in the mix.

Short Notice
Richard from Madrid and I are meeting up at "The Bean" in Chi town Monday, Oct. 12th at 10am to shoot whatever we find interesting.

note: I won't be online after posting this, so if something happens to change this scheduled meetup, I won't get a chance to edit this.
