Looks like I will be up in New London, Connecticut area from the middle of May to around the middle of June. Anyone want to try and get together and take some shots?

I live in the area, as do several other DPCers. I would be interested....

Awesome.... Lets see if we can plan a small get together one night.

I will most likely be in, despite my lack of equipment and lacking skills. Also Mike (sinistral leo) may be in, perhaps Paul Gerst.

start kicking around dates and places.

I don't mind it Paul, we were all there at some point as well. Let's just hang out and have a good time...

Anyone know of any great spots where we can get a great view of the city or some awesome night shots?

Maybe we can get Shannon to teach us some of his magic tricks. haha

For this trick I'll need a volunteer and a few $100 bills...

Penny and I would be good to go if the timing was right. How about the Mystic area? Mystic Seaport is way cool...

The Mystic area has a lot of potential. If the date works out, I am in. There area many spots to shoot and also a lot of good places to eat. :-)

I'm up for mystic for sure. The ivy of Yale and NewHaven is another choice, and the pizza is spectacular. But I'm in no matter where.

Looking at my calendar, my schedule in this time period is a bit nuts...but if you select a date and I am available, I will try and meet up with you guys.

Joe, if you want to get together outside of an official GTG, send me a PM when you get into the area. I work across the river from New London.
