Usually all you find there is crap of the crappiest kind. Once in a while though it's good for shopping for odd props. I've gotten some cool roman pedestals there once, some antique soda and beer bottles, and much more. I actually think I got my 6-packs of Billy Beer, MASH Beer, and Rock & Roll Beer there too.

What day do you normally go?
Edit: Do I win anything I just noticed I did the 10,000 post. LOL

Sin City Burgers is OK.

Ali Baba, I've never heard of.

Buzz BBQ I have not personally tried but I know two friends who said that they wouldn't feed their food to their dogs.

I would like to see something in the trailer park in NLV on north Lamb. That would be awesome and budget minded.

Oh dear god... I was in that area last week with a tracheostomy patient of mine... Walnut and Cheyenne (the neighborhood I grew up in)

I don't want to add: "is your Hobo-Stab insurance up to date?" to my contracts.

I might be interested in setting up a single station for taking some "odd" type images if you send me your models after you are done with them. 

yeah. Mix and mingle... Have a set-up (that isn't $50 for 30 min :p)

Need to find a spot, though.

So I guess I need to do a legit casting for a video project. Damn people not following simple instructions.

So... I should be renting out a studio, lecture hall, event center... Something with enough room for this... Then I though why not see if we can make it more lively?

I'll book the place... If anyone else needs space for something like this... Casting or some such, or even just a get together, we can get some wings, chips, kinda like Roxy's get togethers, but more "do what the hell you want" bring lights and shoot, drink too much if your name starts with an A.. Or a J...

would anyone else be up for it? I'd supply the venue, someone else can bring chips.

What day are you looking to do this?

i'm game for bringing chips. and my latest cameras. sounds like a hoot. i could  even make some salsa.

completely unrelated...

nikon shooters...has anyone used/bought/played with the d800 and found it really uncomfortable? i fiddled with one at best buy this afternoon, and it made me yearn for the previous generation ergonomics. (my d700 is long sold, and my d300 is in dire need of repair for the false low battery issue). something about the grip, or the width, or something, but my fingers don't seem to fit right. the d600 was actually a hair better, i thought. not sure what i want to do. too many options. too many personal standards to keep up. ayayay.

It's interesting you say that. I borrowed my friend's D800 for a shoot and I even remember thinking to myself that it felt a little odd. Not really uncomfortable, but certainly a bit off. I guess you just have to get used to it.

Either mid-week or Sunday... I'd love a Fri/Sat - but know those are super busy days for so many people.

i'm sure you're right, and it's just a matter of acclimating.

it certainly didn't make my decision any easier. i was hoping the d800 would feel leaps and bounds better. and i'd have an excuse to go for it instead. lol

This works for me.

Guys and Gals:
I may need to hire an addiction counselor to help me get through this next week or so. I just left B&C Camera and they had 5 D800 cameras in stock. I held it in my hands and played with it a good ten minutes. I was so close to pulling my credit card out and going into 6 months of debt and interest. It's only been a few minutes since coming home but I can't stop thinking about it. I know I won't sleep well now because I was so close to having it. I need a friend and counselor. I know I don't need the camera and my D700 is really plenty for me. Someone please tell me how the camera won't make me any happier and how my images won't improve at all. I feel like such an equipment whore at the moment...argh

Buy a 5DIII and you will experience nirvana. You are aiming too low.

one lens sold. two cameras that need to go. and then i can haz new camruh!!

I'm in same boat with the D300 and 17-55. Don't think I could bring myself to sell it as low as market value is though. And no way do I see myself selling D700. There would be times I wouldn't want the huge files from the D800. Either way, I don't need it. It's only lust...

mine needs a little trip to nikon...i'm basically selling it for $400. and yet...no bites.

i'm trying not to spend $30 or whatever to renew at fred miranda...but it seems increasingly worthwhile to do so. it would probably be gone in a few days.

i'm pretty set on a d600 at this point ii think. i don't really love the ergonomics of the d800. i don't really need 36mp. and the difference in my tax rebate would only be a couple hundred max. and a little less weight than the d300/d700 is welcome.
