Great!  Next Tuesday in Minneapolis.

I went to the K7 event a few years ago.  There were a total of about 25 people 
at the presentation, so the odds of winning the camera were VERY high (but I 
didn't, sadly).  Too bad they're not giving away a K30 at every presentation... 
that would really bring people in.

It will be interesting to see the K30, although really the K5 is next on my 
to-do list.  In a year or so.  I don't think I could afford whatever is going 
to succeed the K5 (but I'd be happy to be surprised)!

I've got less than 24 hours before I have to be in Seattle to win the Optio, 
pocket the "high end glass" and toss the 645D to a compatriot on the sidewalk. 
What a coup! 

Can't forget the "t" shirt either. Be there early. They rarely have any "t"s 
larger than 2x, a few of those. And I'm a 3x kinda guy.

Thanks Larry!

LOL.  I think they'll just throw it off the edge.  I'm almost tempted
to take the bike down on the Parkway and make a day of it.

demoing the water/impact resistance of the Optio WG-2.


Take it down to the rocks below Mabry Mill & hit it with a ball-peen hammer?

i think i'm the only one in Denver but i put the 15 August event at REI on my 
calendar and could make it a sure thing if any Denver lurkers come forward


i went to a similar event at REI last year — Pentax was featured with lots of 
outdoor gear; it was an unsettling mixture of genuine outdoor adventure and 
sales pitch, but they did a slide show of some nice mountain backpacking routes 
shot with a K-5; i won a pair of socks, but not the Optio


the 22 September event is even closer to me, but 6:55 a.m., i dunno
