All, The state of California (finally) has a budget, so they won't be closing and selling off the Capitol grounds in Sacramento. This is the 2nd announcement for our planned 2nd Saturday NorCal PDML gathering.
Its a little less than three weeks away. Weather willing, we'll have a great time! I'll get some parking information emailed out for out-of-town visitors in a week or so. Any questions? Don't hesitate to ask. I'll have my K10D, a sack full of Ltd lenses, and a collection of A series classics (50 f1.2, 50 f2.8 macro, 100 f2.8 macro, A* 200 f4 macro) with me. I have a few old classics (Contax IIa, Leica IIf, Rolleiflex 2.8C) I can bring if anyone is interested. Email me if you think you might come and I'll put you on my little distribution list....

Sacramento has a pretty good selection of photogenic locations in the downtown area, and, it turns out, quite a vibrant arts scene. The Second Saturday of every month most of the local art galleries open from 6 to 9 for, you guessed it, a "2nd Saturday" art walk. Here's the current proposal: Date: Saturday, Mar. 14 Time: Start at 11am Plans: Meet on the State Capitol grounds Shoot on the grounds for a couple of hours Adjourn to the Pyramid Alehouse around 1pm for lunch After that, we have lots of options: The California State Railroad Museum Old Sacramento Wineries/Tasting at Clarksburg and Bogle only 15 miles south Finish by attending 2nd Saturday art walk If you're interested, please contact me directly via email and I'll get a list of folks together, send out parking info, etc.... --Mark Local links: ------------ Capitol Park: http://www.parks.ca.gov/?page_id=495 Pyramid: http://www.pyramidbrew.com/alehouses/sacramento Rail Museum: http://www.parks.ca.gov/?page_id=668 Old Sacramento: http://www.oldsacramento.com/ Sugar Mill Wineries: http://www.oldsugarmill.com/ Bogle Vineyards: http://www.boglewinery.com/ 2nd Saturday Art Walk in Sacramento and a few galleries I like ------------------------------------ http://2nd-sat.com/ http://www.viewpointgallery.org/ http://www.appelgallery.com/index.asp http://www.sdgallery.com/index.htm http://www.artfoundryinc.com/about.html http://www.20art.net/ -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
