I would LOVE to do this, but probably can't. I've subscribed to the thread, just so I can keep an eye on it and see what date gets picked. Between two upcoming weddings, a trip to Nashville, my mom's bday at the end of this month, and some commitments I've made to be here for a friend, September isn't looking like a good travel time for me--but who knows! Maybe I'll end up being free the day ya'll pick.

EDIT: And by two upcoming weddings, I mean weddings I need to attend, NOT weddings I'm shooting as the photographer! Just to be clear about that.

Thanks for taking the initiative. I should be able to be there.

I was wondering why you were getting married twice.
I knew Tennessee had some odd customs but polyandry?

I'll try to make it whatever day it is but the second 2 are my best bet.

The_Traveler · Aug 7, 2014

My thoughts are to start very early at the monuments, then get over to Eastern Market for some people shooting, back to the museums for more stuff and have a late convivial lunch.
Other ideas are great.

My son will have soccer games Saturday mornings, but I'm sure I could work something out.

So you're saying you're EAGER to attend the meet up on Saturday!

Lew, when you say EARLY at the monuments, I'm one of those "by the dawn's early light" golden hour kind of guys so I vote for as early as possible while still having daylight and participation by others. I'm not a drinker. The more walking we do (vs. driving) the better. As for food, no fast food (unless it's a food truck), I've probably overdone Salvadoran (or the salvadoran version of Mexican) this summer, and I'm not big on sandwiches. Anyplace that has access to ice cream is a big plus as far as I'm concerned.

Thanks for organizing this.
