You thought wrong...you were never offered to attend this event. LMao

If you didn't invite her and i didn't invite her, then who did? Can models invite themselves to our events?

I missed the soap opera.

Yeah, us guys were playing around and it got out of hand. We didn't mean any harm, but we're back on track.

It is however sad that the other hosts have to have someone else come to our thread and thread jack, solicit photographers, bash us and [b]

So has anyone got the new Einsteins from Paul C. Buff? I'm waiting for my email from them. I pre-ordered awhile back. Hopefully i get it before the event so i can show it at the workshop.

I read a review about these... definitely want to see in action!

Didn't get the Einstein but last monday, got the silver HOBD. When I opened the box I found it had a ding in it from inside out, not outside in which I would have expected if UPS crushed the box. On top of that, the rim was scalloped like someone was about ready to make an empanada out of it. Anyway, PCB  sent a replacement without waiting for me to return the defective model. Maybe I should try taking photos with it. Might make for a cool special effect.

Anyway, it's kind of bummer when you've waited for something in the mail only to find something wrong when it arrives. It's like having Xmas spoiled or going on a date and getting no action after dinner.

did you get a discount? When i ordered mine they said they would give me a discount because it has some scratches. The scratches didn't bother me at all.

When did you place a pre-order for the Einstein? I figure it will be a while before I receive mine (I placed a pre-order in December).

No. Just getting a replacement. Hopefully it's in better shape. If not, I am keeping both of them.

Did you get sun glasses with it? I used a light meter on it at full power and it was somewhere around f/90 at 10-12 feet away. Actually the metered had an error now that i think about it, lol.

These guys are super cool. I had my light on a stand and it was strapped down with the vagabond and this quick heavy hit of wind knocked it down. Suffice to say that I sent it in and told them that I dropped it and they fixed it free of charge.

The einsteins got side tracked because one of the main builders got sick or something like that.

Good job on the lights Steve. You should just ask the models to carpool with you as they will look good with that BMW 335 convertible. You will also look cool with the top down and 3-4 gorgeous models with you while driving on PCH.

I don't know yet. We will be having dinner at Hooters in Mission Valley as they have the HOTTEST Hooter girls ever. But that's too far so we'll go to the one in Oceanside. We might have Hooter girls attend our event as 2 of our models work there. We just like to pick them 'fashion' models who wants to be glamour models. At least they work out and take care of their bodies unlike...nvm.

Drew? Don't you get that eerie feeling that certain people are watching us?

They are ALL watching and they know it! They come in here and talk trash eventhough they are not sure what we're talking about. They check to see which models and photographers leave them and joins us. LMAO

By the way, at the after shoot dinner, we buy ALL models dinner eventhough they already make tons of money...and YOU...know it
