7 Days til WPPI in Vegas!!!


Ok, I am officially bouncing off the walls... 7 more days until I head off to Vegas for WPPI 2008!

(again, I think I may have just peed a little)

For those of you who are unaware of what this is, its basically a "gathering" of roughly 10,000 photographers from around the world to network, learn, teach, see new products and 'up and coming' cool thingies.... oh, and sprinkle a few parties on the top as well ;)

This is my first time going, I am going alone (although I already know 30-40 people that are going and will meet them when I get there), I am sharing a room with a total stranger, and I am SO SO SO excited to see and learn as much as I can! I am heading down Sunday, dropping my stuff off at the hotel, going straight to a party, and then Monday thru Thursday I am going to switch into "Sponge Mode" and absorb as much as I can from the 10 or so classes I am attending on everything from Marketing, Posing, Lighting, Post-Processing, and Book-keeping....

Can't Wait!!!!!!!

oh and P.S. as per my "101 Things to Accomplish in 1001 Days" entry, I can scratch off the following once I am home from Vegas:

10. Go to Vegas
12. Meet David Jay
13. Meet Jasmine Star
16. Meet Mike Colón
31. Own a Shootsac (possibly to buy it directly from Jessica Claire at the Tradeshow!)
84. help new photographers as much I as I can with any questions they may have
86. ROCK OUT at a 90's disco!
96. go to Vegas (Hopefully for WPPI!) (WOOPS, didnt notice this was on my list twice!! haha!)
