I have the 18-55 lens that came with the camera (with vibration reduction which is amazing) as well as a 55-200 VR lens that was bought for almost half price when Circuit City was going out of business.

A bunch of old Hondas. There was a 350z and a nicely modded civic, but most of the other cars were slightly slower than me, and a few were much slower. Just a bunch of guys with a passion for cars hanging out. It's fun!

Hosting? There's always a maybe, but they seem more interested in business, not that anyone else wouldn't be!

Mall of Millenia for a photo shoot?

Sounds good to me. If we're in Orlando, we could always swing by the Maserati/Ferrari dealership. Now THAT'S a fun place!

Do they give out free cookies and beverages like BMW?!

Naw, I kidd, but I'd love to get a snap or two of a few exotics. They make a nice wallpaper!

I haven't been there in three years, but I'm pretty sure they do. It's also next to the Infinity dealership, so we could go there to.

Three's fine, but what about something a bit closer to lunch time. 1 or 1:30 maybe?

Ah! Right, I was trying to avoid the lunch time where everyone scrambles and traffic is plenty, but I forgot about it being on Saturday.

Maybe 1:30pm? Hit a local restaurant?

Don't know about anyone else, but that sounds great to me! Just nothing too expensive. Anyone like Bento?

Sorry 03MBC320 and LILBENZ230, maybe next time!

I love sushi. We should see who can down the most wasabi. An alternative restaurant in the area.. California Pizza Kitchen? Maybe for the vegetarians.. I hear they have great veggie pizzas.

I will RULE in a wasabi-eating contest!!! FYI, Bento has much more than just sushi. They have noodle bowls, rice plates/bowls, and boxes. They have veggie options. I really don't care, though, Pizza's good too.

Sorry you can't make it, Matt. I'm getting excited about this, tough. It's awesome to finally have a FLorida meet!
