Well not much time for me visiting, as the organizing people have a bunch of media interviews set for Sun. Mon-Tues-Wednesday. It looks like not much free time the whole week. Man I'm very glad this isn't the regular life I lead! I don't know how entertainment people put up with the interviews and appearances all the time. Particularly when some of the reporters are two straws away from a moron! Accompanied by a short brained photographer. Photographers? Hell a couple of these guys couldn't shoot their way out of a wet outhouse! I think the LUG crew might be interested in some of the behind the scenes incidents of the past few of weeks. :-) When we get the next week or two out of the way I'll run a bunch of notes about behind the scenes with the media. ted -----Original Message----- From: lug-bounces+tedgrant=shaw.ca@leica-users.org [mailto:lug-bounces+tedgrant=shaw.ca@leica-users.org] On Behalf Of Vick Ko Sent: Friday, March 21, 2008 2:04 PM To: Leica Users Group Subject: Re: [Leica] ANY LUGGERS IN OTTAWA?
