Last minute micro-meet Sydney CBD today!

Postby Geoff on Sun Aug 27, 2006 12:39 pm

Hi all,
For those that may be interested, Justin and myself will be meeting at St.Mary's cathederal today at 3pm for a general catch up and photo shoot. Anyone interested in coming are more than welcome. We may then head down to the Empire Hotel at Annandale for a beverage and I hear there's some live jazz being performed there! The more the merrier!

Non DLSR is fine.

And you are permitted to be late. Just bring a note. :)

You are without your camera - Shame!

Bring a CF card and you can take some shots with mine, although I might be selfish at times...

PM me if you are going to turn up - I'll send you my mobile #
