A few notes:
- Make sure you come with at least 3/4 tank of gas. - There is no gas station stop for this tight schedule.
- We will not go through iPass. Instead, please make sure to use attendant since some FXs are out of state and as soon as you pass toll, pull over or drive slow until the whole group can catch up.

Andy, this was for 14 people with a bit too much ordered. It should give you an idea based on the # of people that arrive Saturday approximately how much this order should be adjusted:

Awesome, what a great day.

 

[la_fx35]

It was an awesome day. Thanks for the posting the video Z. :good:

Fantastic video Zebra. I had no idea you were video taping. I like how you called it Midwest instead of Chicago.

I updated the title to reflect that. It truly is a Midwest meet not a Chicago meet....it just so happens to be held in Chicago.

Zebra, I took your video and put it on my facebook and tagged all my FX infinitiscene buddies. hehe. Too bad you aren't on Facebook

nobody is jumping on the early photoshoot. If not, it's going to be cancelled. Or please offer suggestions on how to make it work.

 

[DaveButcher]

Count me in for photoshoot

Count me in for photoshoot

awesome!

So today I did a shot for the first time.....I like it (well at least for my first attempt....I hope to get better). Can't wait to do it on our cars....

I pulled this from my Facebook page since it's easier than having to upload a new image on photo bucket....so please excuse the watermark.

 

[RIPnFX]

Wow that's pretty good Jonas

 

[Chedman13]

Really nice Jonas.

I have to say your logo is amazing. Clean, simple and also the touching meaning behind it (saw your post on facebook).

awesome!

You said we were going in blind together! Now you have practice oh boy. Looks good though jonas. How were you able to take it?

I agree with Ed on the logo. Love the simplicity of it. I have yet to read the amazing story behind it. I will tonight.

You said we were going in blind together! Now you have practice oh boy.

The response to the morning shoot hasn't been very positive, so I wanted to just see if I can do one to possibly motivate people to come out in the morning. Hopefully that did it.

The other reason I wanted to try it was to see if I can make it work if it was just Dave and I....and I can. So worse case scenario, I should still be able to get shots just like the above with Dave's car and my car even without a 3rd person or more cars.

So no matter what, the morning shot is still on. The only thing that is critical is there being no traffic....so if Dave is up for it, we may meet even a little earlier. If there is traffic it won't be good and we will need lots of takes.
