We are going to BRING IT on Sunday, February 4th at the Michigan International Auto Show at DeVos Place. Downtown Grand Rapids, Michigan. They are open that Sunday from 10am - 6pm so I suggest meeting at 11am at the front entrance. Admission is: Adults $9, Children 6-14 $4 and Children 5 & Under are FREE! Tickets can be purchased online ( www.interactiveticketing.com/tickets/showspan_mia_2007/in... ), the box office or at the show. Having said all this I'm so excited... cameras are welcome and YES there will be a photo scavenger hunt! So who is in?

hmmm the conundrum...... shoot cars or women. The blur in my head of all those headlights. I'm sure Ill make the right decision and shoot the models.

My goal will be to capture all the smiles of the girls from the Grand Rapids Auto show.

Well, since you went ahead and changed the date and all, I'm in!

I think I may be able to corral the boys to come along with me since Devin is OBSESSED with all things that have wheels.

is that Superbowl Sunday? Not that I want to watch football but my husband will be gone...which means I'd have my kids....which means I wouldn't be able to take many pictures between running after them and screaming and pulling my hair out.

It is, which means that the place will be practically empty. Let 'em run! :)

HA Katie...you obviously haven't met "the boys". They won't just run...they will hotwire cars, remove bikinis and destroy the place. :)

A trip to the auto show sounds like a great opportunity to get some "exposure"

... however, I find myself (hello self) wondering just why I would be happy about Ian's inability to remove a bikini
after all, I haven't worn one in years

We have a pretty cool photo/audio thingee on the 2007 Grand Rapids Auto Show on Absolute Michigan. I put it together using Soundslides (Mac/PC) which is a pretty amazing program for doing these sorts of things. I guess while I'm at it and since I haven't paid for it yet, I should give a shout out to the really useful MP3 Trimmer program. (Mac)

I also added a link to this meetup on our blog. When you all have settled on a tag for the photos, if you could post a comment with a link on it there, that would be great!

Let's make that GRFlickrAutoShow07 instead. That way we can distinguish the year if and when we do this again. :)

(I already cleared this with Terry, but he has a meeting so I'm posting it here.)

I say meet right at the main entrance where every year you see people trying to pawn off a copy of the Grand Rapids Press on you. There is more than enough open space to gather and meet. So when you walk in the ticket counter is on the left and right in front you hand your ticket to get through the ropes. We meet on the other side of the ropes. Sound good?
