Hi everyone,

2008 was a rough year for me... 3 lay-offs, severe money issues, and lack-of-career depression. It's 2009, and though I still don't have a job, I need to get out of the house! I usually don't leave, as leaving costs money in gas or lunches; but, I want to get out, and I really miss you all!

Do any of you want to get together on January 31st, to shoot for a few hours? Any suggestions for a free/cheap location?

Arie :)

Hey Arie!

I'm sorry to hear about your rough year. Here's to a happy and more prosperous 2009 for you! I'm always up to getting out as well. I'm not sure how the 31st is for me, but if I am free, count me in. There's also an outing with another group on the 17th in Hollywood (kind of an L.A. via metro exploration) if you are interested. Gremlin studio has another open house on the 23rd. Let me know if you are interested in going to either of these.

Glad to see you back again!

Chuck

Both of those sound good! Keep me posted! I am interested!

Well, Gremlins is have another Open house on the 23rd. You should come check it out. I guess from what the site says, they are doing Body Painting and stuff. Plus I have plans to be there and I will be showing off my new book (-;

Awesome, sounds great! Chuck, do you want to meet me at my place in Glendale, and I'll drive from there? I don't have a job yet, but I hope to by then... i'll see what time I get off work! Crossing fingers for a job soon!
01/11/2009 02:57:39 AM · #6
I would love to meet up with any local photographers as well

That sounds fine Arie. Which one are you interested in going to (or both)?

You are more than welcome to join in! As I mentioned above, there's an L.A. Metro/Hollywood exploration on the 17th and the Gremlin Studio open house on the 23rd.

Chuck

For carpooling, the Gremlin Studios on the 23rd. I think I'll still try to go to the outing on the 17th. Do you have details?

I think we are meeting at the Chinese Theater at 10am. My plan was to pick up a day pass at the red line in North Hollywood and meet up with them there. I think the station lets off about a block away.

Here is the info on the outing so far.
01/11/2009 11:47:22 PM · #11
It's barely a block! I know that station well. I'll see you on Saturday!
01/12/2009 12:46:01 AM · #12
Great! See you on Saturday. Will you be taking the Red Line from No Ho? If so, let me know what time and I will meet you there. Otherwise, see you at the thater in Hollywood.

Both outings sound very fun I think I am going to shoot for the 23rd. Thanks for welcoming me. Does the Gremlin studio have a website?

Info on this can be found in this thread

Chuck, not sure yet. I may park at HH, because I will get validation at Koji's at some point. I love that place, and I have friends that work there!

Hi Arie! I would love to make it this weekend but I might be busy with a contractor and moving. I'll keep you posted though!
01/14/2009 11:02:55 PM · #17
An update for those interested in the outing on the 17th...

We are meeting at the North Hollywood Metro Station at 10am, not at the Chinese theater in Hollywood.

Updated Info.
01/15/2009 01:57:11 AM · #18
Greg, keep me posted! Would love to see you! Chuck, see you in NoHo!
01/15/2009 02:55:42 AM · #19
Hey guys, I would love to meet some fellow L.A. photogs! I can't make the 17th, but I'll do my darndest to show up at the Gremlin thing. And count me in for sure on the 31st, pending some details. Anyone have any ideas?
01/15/2009 03:52:27 PM · #20
The 31st is a maybe right now as the 17th and 23rd are solid. Let's play it by ear about the 31st, as there are two outings this month already (that I didnt know about when I made the post). Hope to see you on the 23rd!
01/16/2009 03:15:30 PM · #21
Well, I can't make it this weekend. Need to start moving things so I can stop being a squatter at my old house. :) Plus I need to check on some touch-up work that some contractors need to do or have done and my cousin's wife is having surgery today so we'll probably visit her in Pasadena, too. I really wanted to break out the new camera, too! Oh well, we'll always have more outings, right? Have fun for me and I'll catch-up next time!

If you are going to Gremlin on the 23rd, make sure you contact them 48 hours in advance. See this thread for more info.
01/16/2009 11:58:22 PM · #23
Sorry you can't make it tomorrow, Greg! I hope to see you and Katy soon!

Chuck, thanks for the reminder!!! I'll email studio@dm-gremlin.com now!

It says you only have to RSVP if you 'Have Not' been there before. If memory serves correctly, you two have been there before 6-;

FYI: Their website mentions a $20 shooting fee for the open house.

"We have a fantastic photo shoot taking place during our January 23 Open House event. This shoot is open to Open House attendees for a $20 shooting fee, proceeds to be split between the models, Lisa, and Adam, to cover their costs of setting up the shoot. Full details are in this post in the studio's forums, and on the Open House web site."
