Muvipix 2009 - Minneapolis in September

[Chuck Engels]

It is a good possibility we will be having a Muvipix get together in Minneapolis in September. We would maybe meet at the Mall of America, not sure yet. We will be staying at a campground in Apple Valley on the south side of the Twin Cities. Possible dates are the 8th, 9th, or 10th. If anyone is interested in joining in please let me know

That would be great! I'm in!

Sounds like fun to me! There are 3 birthdays in my family at that time, but hopefully I'll still be able to make it.

I hope the snow isn't too bad there in September...

Chuck,

Most probably yes for September 8, 9, 10 in the Minneapolis area - just not sure on our travel schedule yet.

Nifty!! I just discovered this area of the forum and love it! YES, I would LOVE to attend a get-together. I'm fairly new to muvipix so I've never heard of one of these before - I was actually thinking of suggesting this a while ago...but my thought was we all meet in Montana, around Butte, so we could head off to Yellowstone and/or Glacier for some shooting and then reassemble to share what we captured. Trust me, I'm familiar with Minneapolis/Bloomington/Apple Valley and Montana is SOOOOOOOOO much better.

What actually happens at one of these get-togethers?

We don't know because we've never done this before

I only picked Minneapolis because that is where I will be with my family and we have a fair number of members in the area. We are certainly hoping that we can do other get togethers in the future after we see how this one goes.

Well count me in. I'd feel like I actually took a vacation - all without leaving the "Twities" (I just coined this name for the Twin Cities - pronounce it like "twitties" - hahahahaha).

We "locals" could come up with a list of possible photo ops (not to include Air Force One flyovers!!!) for anyone not familiar with the area.

I heard they have two seasons up there... shovel and swat... is that true?

You know if you can't make Minneapolis in September, Donna and I would be happy to host one here in the Houston area just in time for the hurricane season!

Nothing like a good hurricane party.

[Chuck Engels]

We could make that a plan for next year, that might force me to take a trip the the Grand Canyon by way of Texas

[Chuck Engels]

Ok, the plans are getting finalized for this September

We will be in Wisconsin Dells on Labor Day Monday September 7th, then on to a campground (Lebanon Hills RV Park) Apple Valley, Minnesota for the 8th, 9th and 10th, leaving on Friday the 11th. We would be happy to have a get together any of those days. We could meet at the campground (where there would be possible swimming, if the pool is still open then, and other activities) or at the Mall of America, Hotel, a restaurant or park.

Those that are interested please speak up with what you think would be a good day, time and place to all get together
Muvipix will be happy to supply some food and rent a spot if necessary so it doesn't have to be cheap and free, be creative.
The folks in Wisconsin, Iowa, and Illinois are close enough to make the trip if they have time, the more the merrier !!!

Let's plan something really fun

[Kerrie]

Definitely looking forward to this Chuck! Have to check my calendar...but so far looks nice and open!
