Bob:
1) I have no idea who is coming for sure or not. I'm sure folks will let
us know.
2) The PDML Exhibit Opening Reception is scheduled for May 7th, which is a
Friday.
3) Your tour sounds fun!
Cheers, Christine

Christine,
Can we get some basic paramaters on this event?
What's the count on who's coming? Committed vs Intending and
International vs not?
What activities on what days? Is it a Thursday night pre-opening
party or is that Friday?
Will US folks do Friday-Sat-Sunday? International a bit longer on either
end?
Can we get most folks at hotel 1 or hotel 2 (alternative price classes?).
I'm thinking that I have a 6 passener van and we could do some tours.
Is Jostein coming? Can he bring his slide show of the Antarctic?
(Why should the folks at Nordfjord photoclub have all the fun.)
Regards, Bob S.

Hi Everyone:
Photowalk Option #1--we'd probably have to do this one on Saturday--we
couldn't do the galleries on a Sunday.
Everyone meets at Chicago ave & Wells under the Brown Line El tracks. We
head straight-a-way to both the Stephen Daiter Gallery (
http://www.stephendaitergallery.com/ ) and Catherine Edelman Gallery (
http://www.edelmangallery.com/ ). Darrel & I have a good friend working at
the Daiter Gallery. I'll tell him we might come by, & maybe he'll give us
a
"special look-see" around the place. NO PROMISES, but I will let him know
we're coming. (Chicago Gallery Guide
http://art-collecting.com/galleries_il_chicago.htm ). Then we head east on
Chicago ave. toward Michigan ave--see the Water Tower, tramp & clown
around
the square, walk over to stare at the John Hancock, or go up to the
top--the
view is great!!!. After nudging everyone's vertigo to the forefront, we
head north and slightly west by way of Rush & Oak streets heading towards
Division and State streets. We tramp, & clown, & make beautiful pictures,
&
drink, & eat, & shop all along the way. Folks could then catch the Red
Line
at Clark & Division to head home or to a brothel of their choice if
they've
discovered where one is. This option's a bit of a walk, but very doable.
Our Mountain Goat will probably complain about it's ease, but the rest of
us
will feel well walked by end of day!
Photowalk Option # 2
We all meet at the Old Town Ale House on North ave (
http://www.oldtownalehouse.net/ there's music at this site. don't yell at
me). We all start with a quickie: a shot, a beer, and a pretzel, then head
east on North ave, ending up at North ave Beach. We tramp & clown around,
see the North Ave boat house, maybe walk to Oak street beach, walk back,
take pictures of each other. If the volleyball players are out, you can
gaze at nearly naked dudes and dudettes. We then head west on North Ave,
maybe stop at the Chicago Historical Society (
http://www.chicagohs.org/ ),
but continue on with purpose to North & Wells, the heart of Old Town,
(which
isn't the Old Town I grew up with, but it's still fun), where we tramp &
clown, & take pictures, & drink, & eat, & shop more if you like.
I'll be posting more photo options, but there's time for that. If you want
me to try and work in something you want to see in a photowalk option,
just
let me know. I'll give it a shot.
Cheers, Christine
P.S. I'd really like to do a PDML group shot on the beach somewhere. I'd
be bummed if we didn't do that--but if we couldn't make it happen, I'd
probably be able to get over the disappointment. Just FYI.
