Chime in, folks!

Works for me too! although I will have to meet you after 5pm as Joyce does not finish work until 5pm so I won't be there until a little after then

Ha! Three's a gang worthy of beer drinking. I think we're on.

Did I miss anybody in my PM? If so, invite more people!

It's been a year since you had a Guinness?

Works for me. I'm missing my Guinness. Don't know if I'll have any prints yet, I was going to start printing this weekend but I'm down with bug. Hopefully I can print though it!

Sorry to hear you're not feeling well, Ike. But I am looking forward to seeing you on the 4th! We are so many now that we could probably start a good bar fight or two... Try to replicate the Irish spirit of St Patrick.

I actually went there this Sunday at 4. Oopps! Still plan on seeing you all on Sat the 4th at 4. Man is there a lot of water moving over the falls!

Tonic water on the rocks. I have two beers out being judged in San Fran right now. Brewing season is right around the corner!

All right, so everybody - 4pm tomorrow. Matt, I didn't know that you're a brewer. Would love to try it some time.

Just a map for you all. Click here.

The easiest way to find it is probably from downtown, cross the Hennepin Ave bridge, make a left on University, and it's half a block down on the left, across the street from Surdyks.

I'll be there but not until after 5pm. Joyce is working until 5pm.... Also it's across from West Photo (next to Surdyks).... An opportunity to browse and imbibe sounds like a win-win to me

I was enlightened to be in the company of such a great group of artists. The Guinness & Harp was tasty.
Andrew, I am curious on how the 3+ minute group photo will turn out with your homade pinhole…..crazy.
See ya’ll next time.

I had a lot of fun too; I always enjoy our get-togethers. I wish more people would join in. I know there are plenty of folks around that are on APUG. We're nice people, dammit!
You saw me dragging the old 5x7 around - I processed two sheets of FP4 and I'm surprised by how nice they look. The film expired in 1996 but there's hardly any base fog at all... I'll see how the prints look when I get to it this week.

What do you all feel about hanging out at Keegan's again? I thought the location was great, with lots of interesting shooting around and West Photo across the street...

See you next time.

It was fun to meet up with everyone again!... Like Thomas said, getting a few more people would be really cool..... I have been lurking on the f.295 forum a little lately and did mention it there and I know the MN group there meets quite regularly.

I had a boat load of fun shooting and not having to think too hard by using the pinhole and just kind of aiming it one on direction and hoping for the best. I'll be playing around a lot more with it and will be starting some similar prototypes over the next few weeks.

Also a reminder that the MN 'F' stop show is coming up in April. It's a place to go and geek out on new and old photographic gear and help with GAS if so inclined?

Group shots up in the gallery for those that didn't attend. It's in the 'Workshops and Get-togethers' gallery, which I think you can view even if you're not a subscriber.
