PM sent!
How do you go about making Noise Ninja profiles? Does it require a test target to photograph?

Hi there, think I'll throw in my 2 cents:
In Minneapolis we have Loring Park. It is connected by bridge to the Walker Art Center and Minneapolis Sculpture Garden. The garden and park are very photogenic, and free for people to come and take snapshots.
The Walker Art Center does rent out space for a price. There is a bar in there too. It is a modern art center, so be prepared for that...
There is also a Dunn Bros coffee shop near the park, their back room can accommodate maybe 20 people at most.
The Minneapolis Convention Center is about 3 blocks away. There's also several restaurants in the vicinity...
I hope I was of some help.

Edit: And Brit's Pub has several private gathering rooms, probably 21+ though, but I had to give it a shot!

Thanks for the help. But yesterday after going out to shoot some local architecture, the "Memory Card Error" came up again, sans grip.
I'm afraid it is just an intermittent problem in the camera body. It happens at strange times, and with all my different memory cards.
So, because I can not function without a working camera, I next-day ordered a new K7, it should be here tomorrow. Perhaps in the future I will send my K10D to Pentax to be fixed, because it has done me well throughout my years. Then I'll convert it to IR, always wanted to do that.
I am originally from Rochester, NY. We get pretty good snow and ice out there, but everyone still tells me it's far worse in Minnesota. We'll have to see. The K7 works down to 14˚F right?

I had no idea there was going to be a meet next week, thanks for the heads up! I'm new to the Twin Cities so I can't think of any suggestions for John on the other thread. But I do know the convention center is only a block away :D

Hello, I'm having a serious problem with my K10D. It seems that I get a "Memory Card Error" when the camera is on, but only if the battery grip is connected! Pentax informs me that I will need to send in the camera and grip for diagnosis, but I want to do some investigating myself beforehand.
Is there anyone in Minneapolis who has a D-BG2 battery grip who is willing to meet me? I wish to connect your grip to my camera so test if the K10D is causing the problem or if it is my grip. I'm sure I can replace the grip for less than the cost of sending it to Pentax.
As a token of my appreciation I can supply coffee/beer/fixer to the first gentleman or lady who can assist me.
