Apologies to Kyle if my Playboy inspired custom Leica t-shirt sent him over the brink, Linda, please forgive him and me! (see Jim Shulman's pics I have bag over picture right shoulder). Props to ICP security! they check their log for our name, our LUG button and wanted picture ID, then gave us an ICP button! I was expecting them to check if our Leicas was real! I FINALLY got to show people my shots from the 1999, MidAtlantic LUG meeting held in Washington DC!! Those Leica guys get a pat on the back for dealing with the biggest bunch of brats (including me) so many of us just whine and whine about how Leica makes lens too heavy,(how is a 50 Nocti too heavy? try lugging a 300 2.8 all day at U.S. Open) take too long to bring product to market, etc! The PLUG gang (Alfie,Powell,Glen, me) left ICP headed to Chinatown and little Italy area, great picture area and somehow loss Glen, yo dude! you okay?! talk to us!!! ^_^ Note to Gerhard, the PLUG meets each first Friday, as you may know, for NYC, if you announce meet at some cafe in the village on a Saturday around noon I know I would show up with slides, a viewer and prints; food, drink, and Leica goes well together! Oh and last wish, after seeing Jim's slides of rare M's, if Leica is listening to list, how about a drink container in the shape of a M body, it'll hold enough for a double martini or scotch!! <paul> - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
