    I don't NEED it but it would be nice to get a head count so i can give her the info when she calls closer to time to reconfirm with me.

    REX, sorry for the late reply, just got back from the Smokies. I won't be able to make it up this weekend. I'll be on the lookout for another GTG later.

    Thanks for always getting the groups going around here.

    I live in Rockmart, so Rome is a great place for me. I have also heard that the "prison farm" is a great place in Atlanta.

    If you're just looking for more bodies I can post this to a couple of the photo groups in the area to check for additional interest.

    Hey Rex,

    Thanks for the invite. Looks like a real nice photo op.

    I too didn't know what the "House of Dreams was so I googled it...

    I'll let you know if I can make it when we get closer to May 10th.
    Blessed are those who remain flexible, for they shall not get bent out of shape.

    I live in Jacksonville, AL (NE Calhoun County), about 1 hour from Rome, GA. I would not mind joining the GTG mwink.gif. I am not sure if I will be free on the 10th, but I will keep you guys updated.

    I have to bow out; my son's high school band is playing with the ASO that night and they (and I, as chaperone and band photographer) will be attending rehearsals all day.

    My wife and I were planning to attend but we have a schedule issue that came up.

    Please include us in your plans for any other activities. We would love to meet some fellow photographers.

    sorry I missed meeting with you, but I'm not sorry that I got to spend another day with "my kids" (all 110+ of them) here:

    Members of Milton High School's and Alpharetta High School's marching bands rehearse with the Atlanta Symphony Youth Orchestra. Later this evening the three groups played the Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture with the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra at Alpharetta's Verizon Wireless Amphitheater.

    Nice stuff StevenV. I don't blame you for not joining us. Kids are more important.

    Yep, I'm still here too.

    Rex, I wouldn't mind another downtown shoot sometime. The last one I was at was a lot of fun and I got some good shots.

    Hey Folks,
    I'm still here too. I've not done a downtown shoot in well over a year. That would be great. Where should we meet? I try to stay out of Atl unless I have a compelling reason to go there. Don't know too many places there.

    I just noticed this thread. Man, I'm sorry I missed out on the Berry get-together. I'm in Cartersville too. I LOVE to shoot at Berry, although I wouldn't have given up my Mother's Day to do it. :D

    Travelling to Athens is not likely for me, but if you all come up with something closer to home again, that would be fantastic!
