Greetings Smartians!
Sorry I wasn't responding, but I went to the Nellis Air Force Base outside Las Vegas to see/shoot the Air Force's annual Airshow. This is off thread but it was AWESOME!!! Took around 4 to 5,000 pics! Got blisters so bad I can't wear shoes! (Sandals work OK but are a tad wet and cold...)

(Never said I was Smart!)
Anyway, I'm IN on the trip to Emporia on the 22nd! But just to clarify, let me see if I understand what we're doing: We're all going to Alfonzo's house for BBQ, and then Lula is going to have the baby. Is that right?

Cool!
Here's what I will do: I WON'T promise to post any pictures anytime soon.

And I WON'T attempt to organize our Emporia activities (Alfonzo, Lula and Andy are doing that. Right?) But I WILL contact ALL the people who were at the Halloween party with this info.
As for December, meh! Andy, I know the event could be put together but I don't think I'm going to have the time. I'm not bailing on the idea, but I know December! It's a sneaky month!
For those wondering what we're talking about, here's the idea: Wouldn't it be great to set up a photo-shoot of say, 8 Smarts, each with antlers, paired up in a line (4 x 2 cars), with REINS strung over them (think reindeer in a harness), all coming back to a Big Red Humvee, with Santa sitting on top holding the reins. This wouldn't be hard to do IF we had Antlers, Reins, a Red Humvee, a Santa and PERMISSION! All I have is a car, a camera and the idea. If any of you know where to source the other stuff SCREAM OUT! Otherwise, I'm doubtful.
I'll leave it to others to select a time for the 22nd. Anytime works for me. And BBQ is fine, too. Now, I'm going to send out emails to everyone not already in this conversation, upload a few thousand pics, begin the task of sorting them and then GO TO BED EARLY.

HA HA HA!
I'm gonna have fun, even if it kills me!
Terry
