Got an e-mail today from FotoWeek DC; this year's show and events will be the week of November 5-12. Lots of stuff to see and do.

FotoDC

thanks for letting us know.
It looks interesting. I'll see if I can make some of the events.

Count me in for some, weather and work permitting!

I will be down there for quite a few events. We need to meet up (the pentaxians that will be going) and I will treat for coffee

Year before last Mike and I participated in the Night Visions event. That was a lot of fun. The link for that event this year doesn't seem to be working yet (or at least it didn't when I checked it).

I'll double check the link; it worked after I pasted it. I enjoy this event! Gives me a good reason to visit Georgetown and carouse (oops!) I mean be social! Some of it is occurring over the Veteran's Day (I want to say Armistice Day, my grandfather was a WWI vet) so I may have more time off to really enjoy it.

Tonight, I went to Oktoberfest at Fort Belvoir and took the K-5 and Tamron 18-200; tomorrow Mount Vernon (probably taking the Oly Pen....). Later this month, Charleston SC is on the agenda as well as Skyline Drive. I love this time of year!

Dean and Delucca (sp.?) perhaps? They make the best hot chocolate...

Ya, thats fine too

Well, I just printed my tickets. I'm planning to go Saturday, the 5th. Foto Central this year is not at the usual spot on Wisconsin Avenue; it will be at (unless I'm mistaken..) the corner of 18th and L Street near the Farragut West Metro in what used to be a very nice Borders. I may get to go back on the 6th in the afternoon. Possibly an evening event (but not sure...). The spot near Farragut West has three shops nearby: Penn Camera (alas, no Pentax...), Ritz Camera Ultra (Pentax is carried but
not in all shops), and Pro Photo (the source for my ZX-L; but mostly I go there for repair and service; some used Pentax film gear and lenses there).

The 11th and 12th; unless something comes up I'm hoping to visit Jamestown, Yorktown, etc.

Oh yes, in case I forget there are numerous spots near there where one can quench the thirst and hunger experiences that come with an active lifestyle. I like Elephant and Castle....

Nightvisions? Tickets for NightVisions in Washington from ShowClix

Nah, not for me. I need to rise early on Sunday morning to work on a project for someone (an Oly thing); may take me from Quantico up to Beltsville. I do plan to hit a place near Foto DC Central for lunch before they open; take that in and perhaps hit the Corcoran Gallery..maybe swing by the Spy Museum and check out the Trabants again too.

Mike and Mel have taken part in Nightvisions perhaps two years running though.
