You guys are in luck. I just got a new Nikkor 18-200 mm f/3.5-5.6 VRII lens and can now take those spectacular EAS / IND / WheelSTO style shots. Check out some of my work from today here:

I'm thinking about changing the shoot location to down town areas. There should be easy parking on a Saturday since all those paid lots will be empty and street parking is free. Downtown would provide a better back drop than those plain white warehouses. We can meet in the parking lot across the street from Toyota Center as pictured in my photo below. We can then go to Sabine Street lofts and any other place you guys can think of with a wide open parking or free street parking? What other venues are downtown we could go to? Minute Maid Park? George R. Brown Center? Downtown Aquarium? Discovery Green? Note: I haven't been to any of these areas except, George R. Brown, so I don't know what the parking situation looks like in those locations.

Rafa: Wow, first post and it's to sign up for the photo shoot meet. Cool!

[Rafa]

frankzlin79: Why not? Sounds like a good way to go big and see some sweet cars. I'm new to the BMW scene so i could stand to learn some things!

Congrats on your new BMW Rafa, you picked the best model (imho).

Look foward to meeting you and checking out your car!

-Mike

[frankzlin79]

Rafa: All the cars who have signed up are all modded slighty different than each other (although we do have a lot of the same brand mods as well), so you will see and learn a lot.

Mike: Thanks! I love the car and can't wait to meet you all and see the mods!

So is the new plan to meet up down town, not at Fry's?

[frankzlin79]

Since nobody is really responding, I'm making the decision to meet in the downtown parking lot in front of the Toyota Center. Downtown will serve as a much better back drop, and plus, it's only 3 min from my house ha ha! Win.

Frank, that sounds like a good location to gather up. I believe some of the street parking is still metered on Saturday, so that might limit where we can park in downtown.

This is from the City of Houston:
Question: When are parking meters enforced?
Answer: Parking meters are enforced Monday through Saturday, 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., except where posted signs indicate otherwise. Parking meters are not enforced on Official 2010 City Holidays.

By the way your pictures of the Meetup in Uptown are awesome, I'm the owner of the AW M3 with the bike rack that was parked next to yours.

You are right about no free street parking on Saturdays until 6:00 pm. Therefore, to Golgothar, tinpot, xsilvor, and Rafa, can you meet at 3:45 pm on Sunday, July 25th?

Oh, okay so that was you. You should've introduced yourself. I noticed you left pretty early.
