Re: Easter week end meets
Birddog114,

If appropriate, I will gladly donation 5 bottles of wine (3 red / 2 white) and a slab of beer to go with lunch on Easter Saturday 27 March 2005. ta ta for now, fozzie
When people ask what equipment I use - I tell them my eyes.

I have spent a fortune in petrol the last two weekends, so doubt I'll make it, although I need to get down soon so I can get some hands on to decide on a 50 or 85 prime lens. Do you have the 50s and the 85s or do I need to rely on Glen bringing his collection when I visit in a few weeks. Weekend after Easter I'm in Rutherglen so I'll probably make it on 9/4. Fozzie Shame I'll miss both you and the reds (in that order). Peter

stubbsy, Forget about the "Zoom Zoom" get the one with equipped solar cell then no more talk about the fuel! you're not fill up your car! you filled up the Govt. coffin same as I do. What do you mean: if or do I have the 50 or 85? I do have the 50/1.4, 85/1.4 for my own collection, even I don't use much the 50 nowaday. Birddog114

Wish I could make this one (easter lunch (feast) sounds very good  It has been way to long since I tasted Mrs Birddogs cooking ) but I will be away.
Looking at the calendar I think I shoudl be able to make the 9th or 16th. Andrew
Nikon D3 and lot's of Nikon stuff!!
Sorry birddog. I meant would there be those lenses there for me to play with. I'm guessing the answer is yes. Why don't you use the 50? Peter

Re: Easter week end meets
Minor point of order - Easter Saturday is actually the 26th. I've added these events to the calendar. g.

I have developed a new tool (called the witometer) to measure humour in posts on the forum. I ran it over Gary's effort above - it barely registered!

4:00AM for VR Club meet

Since the Film meet is incredibly outdated, it'll be happening on Easter Saturday, 1995.
If you have your time machine handy, it'll promise to be an exciting meet! We'll be discussing how we're all going to be replaced by digital cameras in 10 years! Producer & Editor @ GadgetGuy.com.au

Huynhie,
We do it next week-end with 12:01 RRS BH55 meet  Birddog114

Yes... I'm still working on that one. It appears I need a better job... or some very hard drugs that I can't taint my bosses with and coerse them into giving me a raise... mwahahahaha... Producer & Editor @ GadgetGuy.com.au

And please remmeber, these above early hour meets only for "real keen photogs" at 12:01am, 2:00am & 4:00am.

You must be on a similar sleeping routine as the characters from "Men In Black" with 23 hour days, Birddog.

Even the AA meeting is more worst! 48 hours non stop with day and night meets and dinners, talks, are scheduled for continuously 48 hours. Birddog114

Bugger it then.
We have to merge a LAN game and the 12-4am meets, Birddog.  Producer & Editor @ GadgetGuy.com.au

Great ideas, we bring more joys to our members and a longevity memoirs for them to bring home. Birddog114

I couldn't agree more.
Nothing says I love you like a counter-terrorist unit firing assault rifles and throwing flashbangs at you! We'd probably need to play some military flight sims and have Birddog beat every one of us... Producer & Editor @ GadgetGuy.com.au

Leigh, We set up a game server and start practising now, can we? Pls. tell me, PM me what do you need/ require so I can start up and you'll configure it so we will be in the game soon. Birddog114

Me.
If it goes ahead, does the VR club really start at 4am  .
If so, then I will have to leave the Hotel at 3am on foot to get to your place on time  .fozzie
When people ask what equipment I use - I tell them my eyes.
Please, I need your confirmation! No confirmation! No seat! No Play! Birddog114

Can I look over the fence then? Mikhail

NO! sorry! Birddog114

Without an invite or proper dress code, the security guards will walk you out to public property and make sure you continue on your way
On a serious note, Birddog probably requires numbers as usually his wife is gracious enough to supply lunch, as this is the Easter weekend there is possible no way that she can duck out and grab extra food if a few unannounced visitors arrive.
Hope you understand where he is comming from
I won't be able to come on either Friday or Saturday - I have family in town... Cheers, John

Still trying to balance the many family commitments over Easter Birddog, Terri's birthday is Tuesday and it seems every member of her family wants to take her out individually
 As soon as I have details will let you know.
Good to know! will you buy her a D2x for her birthday's present Birddog114

I'll just make a Flash version of the D2x for myself. I'll never know the difference (I'll believe my own lies, provided I've drunk enough before I tell myself it...).
We could make a cardboard cut-out shell of a D2x and mount it over the D70 for her! Better yet, we could take the cardboard cut-out version of the D2x to a Westfield! Producer & Editor @ GadgetGuy.com.au
