Wow, what an exhausting weekend! Great fun, though, and always a pleasure (so far!) to meet in person PDMLers whom I've only known via email up until now.
As you have all heard, the gallery reception was brilliant. Very nice job by Dank Haus and Christine organizing the event. Remarkable job by Cotty getting any usable video from the web feed! I did take photos during the course of the weekend but I haven't looked at any of them yet. They may be total crap. But I had a good time anyway. I had a stack of Image Wrap books for those who requested them. They were all taken, including the one I'd planned on keeping for myself (or turning over to Jay Taylor, who requested one after the order had been placed). Unfortunately, the amount received in payment by the end of the evening came out short. Bill Rob and arranged that he'd Pay Pal me money for his two. Chris Mitchell paid for all his first thing. And I'm probably missing a couple of others who paid in the midst of the crowd (yes, it got crowded - who'da thunk?) and the cheap champagne, but we're still $316.00 shy of what should have been taken in for the books so we'll do it on the honor system: If you picked up any books and couldn't get payment to me at the time (kind of understandable, under the circumstances) let me know and you can mail me a check or Pay Pal it to me. Here's who *should* have received books in Chicago: >> Image Wrap books for Chicago >> 1-4 - Chris Mitchell (for himself, Bob W, Ecke and Dario Bonazza) >> 5 - Mark Roberts >> 6 & 7 - Jostein >> 8 - Doug Brewer >> 9 - Christine (for Bill Robb) >> 10 - Bruce Dayton (possibly being picked up by Larry?) >> 12 - Stan Halpin >> 12 - Cory Waters (for Doug Franklin) >> 13 - Tim Bray -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
