Hey J, unless I missed it, what's the actual hours of the M&G? I see the early start, but not the ending..  Also, you know who all the early models will be? 

And just curious, is the fee because there is a fee being charged by the club? Just curious, it's not an outrageous one.. smile

Sweet venue!!!  I hope to make it over for a bit, rescheduled a shoot for that day.. Go figure... lol

Got a good skate in before the blistering heat and the thunderclouds that are now gathering.

Orlando Meet and Greet

https://www.walker1812.com/borders/update.jpg
Updated the attendee list on the event thread and actually have had early bookings for the early access part... things are looking up.

Had lunch with GLue today and we have the Fall location lined up already we just have to think of a good weekend in October.  Is Saturday or Sunday better for that month with games and all?

I think GLue and Erica are going to work the door at the event as per usual and Howie and I will wander doing whatever comes up that needs doing all the little things.

We will need volunteers to shadow along with the Event Models to be strict with the photographers so the models don't have to and can be sweet and nice instead.  I expect that there will occasionally be a crush to shoot with them, it will be the handlers job to tell people shooting over others shoulders to back up and give the model space and if there is a line or crowd to limit the photographers to 10 mins or so each.

PS: If Garth asks nicely, I might bring the fog machine... if they don't already have one wink
