Sorry you can't make it David.

For the swap meet I will bring some stuff if anyone is interested including a BG-E2 grip (for 20D, 30D, 40D, etc.) and a BG-E4 grip (for 5D mkI).

i think i might be able to make it :P

i have a canon 35mm f2 lens with two filters (1 cp & 1 uv) and a nice box too to swap for a fisheye lens like this http://toronto.en.craigslist.ca/mss/pho/1941513803.html or something. actually i want an ultra wide angle lens but then i want to save my money for a new body so i'll have to go for something not expensive for now :oops:

This looks like it's turning more swap meet than social... is the trip worthwhile if one is not shopping?

I'm showing up for the wings, but if somebody has a new 45mm TS-E I'm willing to trade my motorcycle for it.

I'll bring my new 500mm f4, but I'm NOT swapping it no matter how many beers people buy me! ;-)

Looks like you'll go broke trying to knock someone out with beer at this place.

Hey Fizbot .. sorry you mixed up the date. The date was changed the same day the event was posted (Aug 31st). How are the wings. :)

Thanks for doing a trial run though. :D

Didn't try the wings (too messy on the gear!). Pad Thai special on Thursday is really good though!

Hi, I just found the group and registered a few days ago.

My wife and I and probably sister in law would like to attend and say hello.

While I have Canon equipment, not really anything for sale, except maybe a couple of Pocket Wizards if anyone is interested but otherwise, we'll come just to be social.

Andre

Welcome Andre to TPMG and the social. The selling/buying of items is totally optional and will be a very small distraction to the primary goal of the evening - socializing,gear talk,photography talk,etc

I'm going to be stuck and work later than I was hoping but I really think I can at least drop by and say hi... If anyone wants me to see if I can pick up a Metro receipt let me know. Doesn't seem to matter what time the receipt is from , as long as its from the same day.

Cheers!

Sure - we would need to sell about 2500 tickets miniumum though, just to make it financially viable...

Bump .. this event is tomorrow. Please try to confirm your attendance. Jamesy has confirmed with the pub and we will be seated in a prime location at the front of the pub. It is booked for 20 people which should suffice looking at the numbers right now.

I will be there later than the starting date. I apparently have a meeting at 7 that should be short.

You should be fine with just a Canon t-shirt.
