Michales: The Twin Cities' loss is Burlington's gain.
Amee: Ah, I see. If you'll stay here until summer, it should feel just like home (plus some mosquitos).
So...any ideas, anyone?

My vote would be for downtown (maybe warehouse district? or along the river) or near-northeast. I'm out of town (again) next weekend, so how about the weekend of the 21st?

yes, warehouse district! one of my all-time favorite places to walk around & shoot :). plus we could go to old chicago afterward & choose from 100+ beers!

Sorry, I'm a bit new to this.... what all do you do on your photo walks?

Well, kaslingsby, it's like this, see:
A group of Flickrites meet somewheres. Usually some easily-identified landmark or, even better, a place with food and drink. We take lots of pictures of each other taking pictures of each other. Then we wander. And take pictures. Of each other. Sometimes the scenery too. Then we go back to a place for more food and drink. Then we disperse and post our pictures with a common tag so they are easily viewed together. We're a fun bunch of dorks with cameras. Our last photowalk was in Highland Park, with a turnout of around 25 folks. Lots of people asked us if we were tourists or looking for owls.
To see some examples of photowalks, look here. Or here. Or here. Or even here. You should come along. They're a hoot.

I'd have to do the 21st, and probably earlier in the day, rather than later.

I'm new to the group. Also, I'm not much of a drinker, but I'd love to join you when you go out next. The 21/22 works for me as well. Hopefully it warms up a bit by then.

OK, we seem to have a date firming up. Any suggestions on where? I heard Warehouse District earlier.

That'd work for me. Do we have a time? There are a few different places we could gather, but the venue kinda depends on the time.

From A-Wix's original post, a few Mpls locations we could do...
-Dinky Town–lots of meeting places
-Warehouse district was mentioned–lots of meeting places
-Midtown Global Market on East Lake St.-multitude of lunch options
-26th & Nicollet Ave.S.-–lots of meeting places.
-Lyn/Lake, though I'm sure for some people, it's been done before
I'm no expert, just a few options.

How about Cuzzy's?

Cuzzy's gives you lots of places to go from downtown to the riverfront: Guthrie, Stone Arch, etc.
Posted 33 months ago.

26th & nicollet has been done once as a dusk/night walk.
cuzzy's is good by me. as are the dates.
to me, guthrie & the stone arch bridge area is a separate photowalk. there's plenty in the warehouse district to keep us there for quite some time.

Midtown Global Market would be fun if the weather was still this cruddy. Lots of neat stuff in there.
Posted 33 months ago.

Cuzzy's doesn't open until 5pm on Saturdays, so that's out as a meeting point if we're going to try and do it in the afternoon (though it's a possiblity for afters if things run long).
The Monte Carlo opens at 11 daily. Planning to roll out of there at 12:45, maybe? (Which means arriving at 11:45 if you plan to eat)
Or is that too early for folks? For me, I need to be done and home by 5pm, so I'd like to get started shortly after noon.

i'll reiterate my initial suggestion, then. old chicago is on first ave at 5th st. for those interested in park & ride, it's at the end of the lrt line. they open at 11am daily.

You don't like the dark wook, red-velvet wall-covering, "gentleman's smoking club" atmosphere of the Monte Carlo? Heck, I could probably spend a couple hours shooting pictures inside the joint.

Lots of people asked us if we were tourists or looking for owls.
I'll try that one. It'll be hard to justify owls in a bar, but it's worth a try, you never know.
I caught an awful cold from a friend of one of my relatives (b%$t&rd!) earlier this week, confining me indoors for most of my trip here in Mexico. I hope I'll be better by this weekend (I fly back tomorrow) and make it.

or we could just meet on a corner then pick a restaurant to go to later, for those who would like to do that. personally, i much prefer doing that, as it truly makes the most sense. i think meeting at 1st & 5th at the end of the lrt platform is a perfect start.

Meeting at 1st and 5th would be much less anxiety-inducing than trying to find everyone in a big restaurant.

Sounds like a plan. Time? We've got one person who can't start until 12:30, which sounds about right to me, since I'd grab lunch on the way downtown.

I bet if you bring 'em, someone will at very least want to look at them. I'd like to handle a Holga to see how it feels in my hands.

If I can make it, I'll bring my Holga and a few other cameras for people to try. That's a fun idea.

Missed you all by a week. I'm in the cities this weekend. Haven't done a slew of picture taking other than silly things like going to moa and ikea yesterday by way of the light rail (my first time on mpls mass transit) and a required stop at hell's kitchen for breakfast. I may have more photo ops this weekend.
Looking forward to going on a future walk and as long as the job thing pans out, I'll likely be moving here around year's end. There'll be more treks between now and then. Have fun on your walk. Looking forward to see the pics.
Do you guys ever use upcoming.org for scheduling and getting an idea how who/how many are coming? We use it for all our flickrwalks in Omaha & Lincoln. When you add them there and send the upcoming link to the flickr powers that be, they add it to their calendar on the flickr blog and will send you free flickr schwag to give out.

massdistraction did that once, i believe. not sure if it was upcoming.org specifically, but something like that. the shwag didn't come 'til much later, but it was available for future walks.
so far just using the discussion area in the group has worked out well for us i think.

OK, so that's 1st Avenue North and 5th Street North, not, 1st St. South and 5th Ave S., right? (just checking because to some it's not that obvious)

in the announcement i posted to the main page i made sure to state that it's 1st ave & 5th st. also, meeting at the end of the LRT platform in the warehouse district helps further clarify.

Curses! I can't make this one.
(Maybe for the photowalk after this, we could plan for Lowertown in Saint Paul? Meet at the Black Dog?)
Perhaps I'll start a new thread next week to gauge interest.

we did lowertown/black dog a few walks ago. i wouldn't mind doing the rice park area of downtown as a night walk. there are a lot of nice lights going on there, in the trees & neon signs.

They took all the Christmas lights down in Rice Park a week or two ago, unfortunately.

it must've been a week ago, since they were still there on the night of the 10th. oh well, at least the signs are permanent.

is anyone attending this photowalk afraid of dogs? lydia would very much like to join us, but i wanted to make sure no one would be freaked out. she's very mellow & sweet & won't bother you. she enjoyed the abandoned twin cities photowalk & deserves another, especially if the weather stays as nice as it has been lately.
she is dog aggressive, though, so no others.
