Hi all,

I will be organizing the xmas slideshow at our social. I am looking for images from members of TPMG which are from various events over the past year whether they were official or ad-hoc. It doesn't matter. If you would like to contribute, please send me your images (1024 pixels on the long side) to lxdesign@rogers.com

Thank you!


David

Thanks for organizing this, Sue!

(As bad luck would have it, I have a thingy at 7, but I can scoot up to the Maddy as soon as it's over. Save me some nachos! :)

I have photos to donate to the cause...something we were doing at NPS where we got a "stern talking to" from a cop. :-)

Gotta find 'em first.

Madison is a big Escher-esque place. Assuming reserved area, if known can someone describe area within the Madison.

I missed christmas party there one year unaware there is a separate entrance basement bar.

@ Donald: They didn't specify exactly where we'd be, but every time we've booked at the Madison, they've put us in the large area on the second floor behind the pool table area (toward the front of the building facing the street) in our own room. You can always ask at the bar.

@ Mr. Walczak: Food's not bad. If you manage to arrive before 7pm, they have half-price appetizers. There are usually a few of us who get there early.... :)

@ match stick: Don't know when your exams end, but there are two events (shooting events, not socials, though there's usually food and drink involved at some point) later in December.

Great seeing everybody tonight, but yes, there were issues with the location this time around. I was not very impressed with the Maddy tonight at all. Good thing that you guys were so fun to hang out with that it helped me to put those frustrations aside. :)

Thanks Sue

Had a good time. Was nice to meet some of the new members and
see some familiar faces. Winning the 5D MKII in the raffle was the highlight of the evening :)

Tim

lets see if this gets more people out :twisted:
