    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! :D

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

    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.

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

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

    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. rolleyes1.gif Yes, priorities... hockey or photos -- can I have both? :D

    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? ear.gif
