Time to organize a Chicago RFF Club outing
Anyone up for coffee and gear at Borders on Randolph, followed by
an optional visit to the new Vivian Maier show and or some street shooting?
How about Sunday Jan 23rd ?

Maybe I can finally make it this. It'll be a last minute decision though.
FWIW, mornings are generally better for me.

I wish I could change my flight on the 23rd...

I'd prefer the afternoon ( it is Chicago in January, after all ), but am flexible.

Probably worth noting that the Bears will be playing that day at 3 PM.
It's the NFC title game, so a large percentage of the city will be paying attention.
The wife and I will be two of them
We won't know until next weekend whether that game will be played here or somewhere else.
PS thank Marc for setting this up !
<edit> sorry forgot... I'll be there at 11, or earlier.

I plan on attending. However, I will most likely be in the 'burbs the night before ( as it's my mother's birthday ) and will probably spend the night there, so I'll do my best to get back to my house and down to the loop by 11.

bump - one week to go
I went to the VM exhibit with dantes this week - she is the real deal - well worth seeing - the photos make me want to buy a Rolleiflex - because as we all know, If I had that camera - I could take great pictures
See you all next Sunday

Sounds great Marc. Never had a doubt she was special.
Rolleis really do make you a better shooter.
Well the wife finally decided to come. Yay
A friend who has been a pro RF shooter for 40 years, may also show up.

My M5s need red dots!
VM was, apparently, very shy. She didn't even speak about photography.
BTW, I've been earning my wife's support for this outing, and the place and time are great. Sunday at 11 AM at the Randolph/State Borders fits perfectly! I'll show up with my M5 and fast Nokton... and I don't know what else.
BTW, I have a beard now.

I'm on board for this outing: keep some cameras on the table so I know where to sit. VM has a nicely-assembled entry on Wikipedia.

Hi everyone;
I am new to the forum and would like to attend the meeting. I am looking forward to see you guys! I am using M8 with 28mm, 35mm (broken and sent back to Leica), 50mm and Canon 5D with 28mm. I am mainly doing documentary-type street photography.
