I guess the wrong e-mail was sent out, the plan is to convene on Tollefson Square at a single time in 2008.
Details are being worked out at this time.
You have been warned.
Until Next Time,

Haha! We do get actual work done. Having 6 local bloggers on staff is just a happy accident. Of course with our own blog anyone in the office can be a blogger!

I’ve only posted 10,000+ shots on my website. Multiply that number by 10 (or more, haven’t counted lately) and that’s the number I have on my computer at home. Erik has a way to go but I for one certainly welcome a little healthy competition. May even have to fill out my collection of parking lot photos but will make sure and give credit for the inspiration to Erik.

No competition here. The only way I upload so many photos is that I have configured my cell phone and Flickr account so that the photos are instantly shown online once they are taken. Many of them will lose much relevance after a year or so.
