There is a monthly camera show (www.cameraexpo.com) which has recently moved to Carson. Just the place to find odds and ends. I have been going since 1987 and it's a fun place to hang out.

I was thinking, what if some of us Southern Ca people got together there? We can do a few laps at the show, it closes about 2:30, then we can go get a late lunch and meet one another in person, informally. It's about 5 weeks away so we can start to make plans now.

If anyone is interetsed let's dicsuss it here!

    Count me in! This is a great idea. Maybe I'll find a better bag.

    The show is once a month, but no show in March. I'm sure we can arrange another meet as well, but I WILL be at this one!

    Genuinely interested...
    I'm not sure about my schedule - work can get pretty rough, and my napoleonic SE plans can easily take whatever is left off the day job, but I'll try..
    Please keep posting here, will ya?

    If you have anything to sell, this is the place to bring it. If we consider how much we sell amongst fellow dgrinners, this may be the best chance to tade something (we won't tell Andy :D ).

    Maybe we can have lunch at a great ribs place and photograph ourselves chowin' down.

    Not only will we make Andy jealous but we'll have a joint submission for the next challenge... "gluttony" rolleyes1.gif

    I'm going of course, as well as 3 friends from my e-mail camera club. I plan to be there by 10am. Though the show is over at 2:30, it winds down around 2.

    Andy, PLEASE don't sell anything until after the 17th so we can save money for the show. :D

    When you park, the show is in the area at the left of the building. It's a large center and the camera show is in only one room. When I went last month I saw the whole place until I found the camera show.

    Before you eneter the actual show area (look for large yellow CAMERA SHOW signs) there is an open courtyard. We can meet there with room to spare. Maybe we can meet on the hour i the courtyard, just head into the courtyard area at 11, 12, 1 and 2 to look for stragglers.

    It'll be nice to get a group portrait too!

    I'll be there! I can't spend any money which is going to be ubelievably torturous, but I'll be there. I've been drooling for a medium format set up, want to start making some fine art prints, but I just don't think I can afford it, maybe somebody'll be selling holgas.

    Doesn't every 16 year old girl want to go to a camera show on her birthday? :D

    Well we can see how this meet goes and then schedule another one. They are held once a month. For those of you along the 91, we can carpool!

    and we don't have to do the show next month, we could (should?) also do a SoCal shooting exercise at a special locale.

    Depending on Uncle Sam, this may be my last camera show until 2007. I'll know more in a week or so.

    I will be there tomorrow at 9:30am with a Nikon N70 and 35-80 for sale. I'll check mail here before I leave.

    It'll be great to meet a lot of you!
