SPE

This is a biggie... coming up soon!

http://spewest.wordpress.com/conference/

registration is 22 bucks unless you volunteer for 4 hours and then you get in for free

The deadline for submitting to the student show has been pushed back to Oct 31st -it's free.

There's a good number of us going, including Professor Rebecca - this is the best real world event that we can connect you with... TAKE ADVANTAGE IF POSSIBLE. Networking is probably the best thing for Photographers, so mingling with the best is a good place to start.

For pitching in and possibly sleeping on the floor of the Grand Hyatt in Union Square, email the club with the email title being: "Sleeping with Chris is the Best"

For Possible carpooling: email the club with the email title: "Spencer's got hot wheels"

*** if you're responding to either of these two, INCLUDE DETAILS. how many days, what days, weather you have a problem with sleeping on the ground or having your feet on the hump.

Meeting Review:

Hola Personas.... this is what we covered:

Melanie Pullen is a huge name that is going to be giving us a personalized tour of her show at the Ace Gallery on Nov.7th @3pm. Amazing opportunity to pry into her brain. We have a carpool list, contact Becca at photoclub007@gmail.com and title it with "Becca's rockin Carpool" Warning only members may join, so if you have not paid dues, you can give them to Becca on that day.

The student sale: Set up on the 5th, Dec 6th, pre sale with art donors (eliete benefactors who help support our community by buying up and coming art work and donating galliers), Dec 7-11 is the sale for the rest of us.
Fine Print... The ceramics club takes 15% for doing all the work, and getting everyone there. Your work must be legit - no $1 trashed assignments - people have made thousands of dollars selling their work at this thing. That doesn't mean you have to have framed stuff selling for 100 bucks, it just means it has to be presentable. If you have work in the show, you must spend some time sitting the gallery. You must be a member of the photo club to be in it.

The winter trip destination has been decided: Vegas. Awesome.

For SPE info: see next post.

We also handed out a couple of job opps and info during this meeting
