    It is the purpose of life that each of us strives to become actually what he is potentially. We should be obsessed with stretching towards that goal through the world we inhabit.

    Exactly what I was looking for! Silly me, not looking in the middle of the email string :'))

    Do we have other plans than just dinner - or is all casual meet ups?

    The party is dinner at the brewery and it'll be a blast but that is the only "official" thing, complete with Nik's photo booth! There will be lots of other activities going on I'm sure. How can you not when you have a bunch of Dgrinners getting together? I think Christina went ahead and started a thread for shooting plans, somewhere in the Big Picture...

    Edited to add: Found it!

    Cool idea.

    Is there a physical address, so I can begin planning? I always thought SMHQ was an unmanrked bat cave that we mortals were not allowed to know.......?

    You missed the SmugParty?

    Looking forward to it! I will be there. Be good to meet some folks face-face that are going on the 2009 shootout as well (I'm in!).

    If you are looking for some food when you are not taking pictures, there is a great place nearby where I have my first solo exhibit!! I have two series of images, "Rockscapes in the Valley of Fire" and "Rock Textures in Point Lobos" and also some of my Yosemite Images. The restaurant is 3 miles away from the Tied House in nearby Sunnyvale at a new restaurant called the Rok Bistro. It is a fondue (cheese and chocolate) and Hot Stone place - they serve your entre' on a 700 degree rock and you cook it (steaks, fish, wild game, chicken). It isn't cheap dining, so you can drop in to just view the artwork!! There is also a weekly farmers market on Murphy Ave on Saturday mornings from 8am to 1pm. The address is 124. S. Murphy Ave in Sunnyvale. Yelp review linked.

    Looking forward to meeting y'all in person.
    Cheers,
    John

    I am confused, so I ask questions
    Howdy so I have been asked a few questions that I am not sure of the answer for:
    1. What is the attire?
    2. Is it just finger food or a whole meal?
    3. If it is a whole meal... vegan options I am assuming?
    4. Is there a camera minimum per person ;)

    It's a bar. Dress however you want, as long as it's legal and respects the bar's rules.

    Food is your choice: Fish and Chips, Veggie Burger, Burger Burger, and Pasta Primavera.

    Wish I could come to the party.

    I work for Brocade in San Jose (right by the airport) and had hoped to "time" a necessary business trip to coincide with the birthday party. Some issues beyond my control have prevented that from happening . . . grrr

    Have fun celebratingclap.gif I'll be at the ten year party, I promise! With continued smuggy growth, you'll need to rent the Moscone Center to handle the raving user fans . . .

    I knew, of course, that trees and plants had roots, stems, bark, branches and foliage that reached up toward the light. But I was coming to realize that the real magician was light itself.

    I'm now waiting for my last (and third) airplane.... Only little over an hour of airtime to go. Have had 14+ hours in the air today already. All for a party, I must be crazy eek7.gif

    You do have 100 other photographers around. What do you have to sell? ear.gif

    Hi Ivar

    I hope those hours in the air have been pleasant!

    As far as what to sell, well potentially everything could be for sale. Most likely first candidate is the 24-105, but I also may sell the 24mm TSE (currently being evaluated by another grinner). Who knows, the potential is there to trade a couple pcs of glass and come home with a new cam body! mwink.gif

    So, I am just getting ready to leave for the airport. Power nap on the plane, and then I will see Phyxius and 4leggedfoto at SFO!

    Will check in to Hotel Zico tonight.
