or Tony and Robb [?], if you prefer …

Sorry this is off-topic, but I know I’ll find you here.

I’m visiting Chicago in a few weeks. I’ll actually be in Schaumburg. Is that anywhere near where you are?

Definately Colin. You’re a stone’s throw away from either of us. Contact me by e-mail and I’ll give you some contact info. Maybe we can do lunch or something – I’d jump OVER work to get a chance to meet another photoshopper!

Email me at: edgecomp at ix dot netcom dot com

That’d be great!

Peace,
Tony

Would you run over to Ikea and pick up some stuff for a photoshopper? We don’t have one in Denver. <g>

Well, Ikea’s in Schaumburg so I could buy a couch for you and then drive it over… how’s that?

Hey Colin…

If you know Pank (Bob Pankala), owner of TeamPhotoshop.com, you could also meet him…He’s a bit more WSW of Chicago, in Aurora (home of Wayne and Garth from "Wayne’s World"!). I met him a few years ago…great guy.

Eric:

Interestingly, I’ll fly into Denver a couple of days later. But I don’t think they’ll let me carry a couch as carry-on [even if I say it’s for a fellow Photoshopper :-)].

Bump!

Cheese, you’re back. Please email me. I had your email, but can’t find it. I’m more-or-less set to meet Tony for a beer [or 2 …] and wouldn’t want you to be left out!

I will be there on the evening of Mon 8 Sept, staying in Schaumburg, which Tony says is hand for him too. If you can email me [click on my name above] we can tie up the logistics a little nearer the time.

"Hand" should read "handy". Wasn’t the Edit function useful!

E-mail sent. I know of some pretty cool places we can meet at for beers and/or dinner. Depending on where you’re staying in Schaumburg.

I sent you an e-mail. Let me know which hotel you’ll be at and where you’re meeting.

Where are you from, Colin?

Tony…I just e-mailed with Colin to confirm. He’ll be minutes away from my apartment.

Have you ever been to Ram? There’s one close by and it’s a great place for a beer and a good burger or steak.

Cheesefood,

Haven’t been there, but heard of it. I’m easy. If they serve alcohol, it’s my kind of place <grin>. It’s a microbrewery so it should be interesting, but remember that Colin is from the UK where they have real beer. And I’m not sure how Colin feels about steak that’s not boiled first <grin>.

My e-mail address is in post #1, I told Colin via e-mail to drop me a line when we get close to the date and we’ll firm up. If you drop me a line, I’ll pass along my cell phone number and we can figger it all out. When we find out what hotel he’s at we can figure if Ram makes sense simply due to driving and all (no DUI’s!)

Pretty exciting. It’s not like the programmers club where you have to have a pocket protector (<cough> DAVE! – kidding bud).

Anyhow, drop me a line.

Peace,
Tony

We’re going to a brew-pub nearby that’s one of my fave’s: Ram. In fact, I’m taking some friends there tomorrow night as a "thank you" for watching the dog.

I’ll bring my camera.

Then again, would it be a Photoshop geek meeting without at least one camera?

How many Photoshop users does it take to screw in a lightbulb?

1 to draw the lightbulb
1 to draw the base
1 to adjust the lighting effects
1 to post in on the internet
45 to reinterpret the image by adding different styles, colors and shapes.

And finally One to show the kewl action they made which automates everything.
