A year goes by... UNM night shoot anniversary meetup - August 16th, 6:30pm @ Brickyard Pizza

So, last year on august 17th, we had a massive meet up for some afternoon/night shooting at unm. If i understand, it was the biggest meet up the group had seen so far (27 or so people, clarify if needed, o overlords of the group.)

It was also the first outing for quite a number of us and i feel like the group took off a bit after that. Here are some pics from that night...

So.... I feel we should have a self-proclaimed anniversary meet up, at unm, probably starting around 6:30/7:30 on the 16th or the 23rd. We could meet for food/drinks around 6:30 before that if you want, and i know you'll want to.

Who's with me?

Hum. If I can get a ride home I might be able to. We have another party down by UNM to go to earlier in the afternoon. But that could be fun!

so yea... we COULD do that, but what are the real chances of getting everyone to migrate over?

probably slim....

I'd say go with the 16th, since the 17th will be a cool meetup too - santa fe penitentiary.

I second that motion. Saggio's would probably be fine, brickyard i prefer a bit more but is quite a bit smaller.

Come to one up on the 23rd. have fun filming.

benrobertsabq is a group administrator benrobertsabq  Pro User  says:

Think there's room in Brickyard for all of us? [Can't remember how much int space they have]

Saggio's might be good depending how many people we have coming? I live right by all of them anyway so can see about getting us a table set up for n people.

In general though, I can't believe it's been a whole year. Or is it I can't believe it's only been a year? :)

There are a bunch of fantastic people in this group who are generous with their time, advice and friendship in ways I never expected when I first got involved. And that's worth celebrating!

Looks like we've got a dozen people so far, if you plan on coming for food, chime in so we can get a rough headcount.

I am so annoyed that I keep missing these (even when I start the threads to plan them, ugh!) that I will be leaving the husband AT HOME and getting to this one no matter what. Even if I have to light my own butt on fire.

Which would make for lovely photos anyway.

It goes without saying... but I too will be there. Looking forward to it. :D

Heads up to the Albuquerque & Santa Fe group: For those of you not in the know... there is a UNM flickr group. That particular flickr pool gets direct love from the UNM homepage. Please stop by, sit a spell, take your shoes off and post your favorite UNM shots. We will give you lots of eyeballs... and love. : )

Whoot! ...itchy camera finger...

My vote goes to brickyard - cheaper (PBR special...) and better imo. There should be plenty of space too.

why don't we say meet at 6:30 for food/drinks then head out to unm after?

i think we'll be done by like 8:15 or so kevin, you know we all like to get to be early.

seriously though, we'll probably be leaving brickyard around 7:45~ and last year us stragglers stayed until 11:30.

Alright, for anyone who's not sure, Brickyard Pizza is on the South side of Central just West of Harvard, across from UNM.

Right about here!

Anyone needs better directions shout out and we'll get you squared away. :)

So do we want to have a secondary meetup spot for those who want to catch up with us on campus but can't make it for dinner?

8:00 at the parking garage on UNM campus maybe?

Thoughts?

That's right Marc. We'll be the unruly ones with the cameras. :D

So 6:30p at Brickyard for those who want to eat and drink, and then we'll wander over and regroup at 8:00p on the West side of the parking garage at UNM. Otherwise known as "In Front of PopeJoy Hall"
