Marv, this is a good photo op! Bring the 14mm lens. I'll bring my ultra wide as well.

So is this still a "strobist" type photo meet or just a "yo whats up" meet?

More like a "Yo whats Up" but can degenerate/escalate/morph/evolve into a strobist/photowalk/etc. We can all stalk Abel as he goes around DT.

Actually a late night Downtown walk would be cool - something I am loathe to do alone but a group would be better.

Too bad Glenwood closes the gates at 7, or that would be an awesome night time location.

looking forward to the meetup tonight...

troy, i doubt it will be crowded... might be a bit more people there around 11pm since it is a bar but as early as we're meeting, we'll be just fine.

Hey man, If I lend you my 5D Mk II, a tripod, and the appropriate lens, will you film it for me?

abel has a good idea, I had originally thought I wouldn't bother with my camera, but walking around downtown at night might be kinda cool...and maybe some long exposures of the streets too....hmmmm..

and I talked to the wife, so I think I'm in

We are headed that way in just a bit... which means coming from Katy, we will be late!
