Wow, sounds like an awesome party! Happy Birthday SmugMug!! I just wish it was a bit less than 2,038 mi – about 1 day 5 hours away!

So is SmugMug hiding in the "Computer Sore" or in EOS? (google street view)

haha... have they been warned not to put the Nikonians and the Canonites next to each other? Or the wintendo users too close to the apple eaters?

So .....my question of the day. Is the invatation open to dgrinners who don't have a Smugmug account?

I live in San Jose, and would of course love to come and meet many of the people I only get to read about.

I wish, but unfortunately not in this years holiday budget

have fun though

Thanks for the invite, it'd have to be a lot of free swag to cover the £400 flight, though.

Pupator

Hmmm... only $340 for a plane ticket from here. Very tempting....

At the current exchange rate, you could fill that empty suitcase with stuff like
Wii's and sell them at home

Heh, that's actually worth considering, they're out of stock everywhere here too!

Shoot out suggestions?
I've been waiting for the locals to chime in, but I haven't heard anything solid yet. I know that people like to play things by ear, but I need to a general outline of things so I can plan around the shootout(s). Basically, I need to know if I have sell my Sharks tickets for Saturday night. Yes, priorities... hockey or photos -- can I have both?

I know that at least one person is flying out on Sunday afternoon.

I don't know if we have enough time to shoot before the smuggy shindig, but the suggestion of the Baylands have been thrown out.

Since we're all be in Moutain View, I suggest that we shoot star trails at night since the moon is at a crescent. Locations? Somewhere in hills of Saratoga? Near the dish by stanford? Or Shoreline Park ? Anyone have a better idea for a dark place near Moutnain View?

As for Saturday.... Everything is up in the air. One person suggested the [SIZE=-1]Presidio in the city (via IM). There are also many beautiful places that are not on the usual paths of tourist. The areas controlled by the Mid Peninsula
open-space can be a good choice as is coyote park in fremont. I heard of this place in the east bay (one mile easy hike up) where these is a great view of the city espeically at night
[/SIZE]
Suggestions? Ideas? Opinions?

Anything?

Maybe we should give out some kind of prize if you can make Shay blush.
