nice series Josh! payback is h*ll though, i gave you $20 not to post those

i certainly enjoyed hanging out with these two characters yesterday. having the secret service chase Joe off the WH fence, being throw out of the Willard, buying drugs on 7th st outside fuddruckers, and stopping traffic on pennsylvania ave for pics, the day was quite fun it's interesting hanging out with young kids these days

honestly though, it was a pleasure meeting Josh and Joe. they both have an awesome sense for photography and will undoubtedly be two to watch out for! we discussed trying to make this a routine event....come and join us!

i hope to get some images out later today.

Thanks guys We had a blast, and it was great to finally meet some people from the board. I'd say we need to do it again fairly soon, and get some more people in on it
Alright, time to eat.
