Alan: I’m sure you get this a lot, but is this really Ceasar’s Palace?
Hotel Clerk: What do you mean?
Alan: Did Ceasar really live here?
Hotel Clerk: No.
Alan: Didn’t think so.
Some people don’t know this about me. But I love…no I LOVE hanging out with friends especially now that I’m older. And I can get up to no good and no one will look at me twice. Well, almost no one looks at me twice.
Magic Mountain with Lou.
Faces in Lou’s Living Room.
Multnomah Falls.
Posing at a hotel in LA. Lou was my camera guy.
Me and TOBES! She’s my Canadian friend. Everyone needs one.
Gotcha! (And thanks for my beautiful skin, Amy!)
The above photos are all random shots from some of thee most awesome get togethers I have had with some of thee most eclectic group of girls. In 30 days, I will be headed out to make more awesome memories and I gaurantee they will be documented with photos. The 30th anniversary WPPI 2010 Convention is headed to Vegas and you bet your sweet bottom that I will be there!
[Side note, the last time I went to Vegas I stayed out til 4 AM, walked back to my hotel barefoot and fell asleep next to my bed, not in it.] Am I looking forward to the learning that will be learn-ed from some super successful photographers in the industry? Am I looking forward to meeting some of the most talented and inspiring photographers in the industry; my peers and others I want to model my business after? Hot diggity dog I am. BUT I am looking forward to staying up past midnight every night with Christine; giggling about old memories of flying on the I-5 between Oregon and Washington states with Amy; finally having a face to face conversation with Kellie? Psssh, do you even have to ask…HECK YEAH. My flight on Virgin America has been booked. My room at the New York, New York is reserved. All the classes I am interested in attending are added to my Google Calendar. I have RSVPed to this party for Sunday, and this party for Tuesday. I’ve been Google Waving it with Mr. Rob Ninja and the Photog Shootout community gathering ideas for super secret fun that will be announced later. I have been passing e-mails back and forth with other Central Valley photographers that are also Vegas bound. It will be crazy to put faces to Twitter accounts! I will be meeting up with Ati after she’s done with her workshop so I can see the sparks bouncing off of her after Making Things Happen Intensive. I can only imagine the WPPI trade show floor with hundreds of vendors! I am hyperventilating. AHHHH! Is it March 7 yet? Oh, and yes. I will be bringing some pepper with me. Since “tigers love pepper…they hate cinnamon.” HA!
