We're at it again! Wetpixel and DivePhotoGuide will be hosting our DEMA 2009 Cocktail Party on Friday, November 6, 2009.

Date and Time: 8:00pm Friday, November 6, 2009
Location: Rosen Centre Terrace, 2nd floor (take the elevators to 2nd floor and follow signs to TERRACE)

Check the front page of Wetpixel at the end of the Thursday the 5th for location change details, or drop by the Wetpixel /DivePhotoGuide booth #1068 for an invite card.

Last year's party in Las Vegas was packed full of photography and dive industry folks. This year, the gathering will probably be much more casual; we promise to make up for it in Vegas 2010.

Great stuff Eric, looks like it was alot of fun.

Did you get "doggie bags" of some of the drinks for us?

[Nakedwithoutcamera]

Looks like a fun party...and I recognize quite a few people.

Ahh, so happy to see Mr Bantin with all his friends at the chippie shop

Once again, i miss the party...

Looks like great fun!

What is Matt drinking (is he 21 now?) and why hasn't he washed his chin?

Apparently that pic was taken 4.2 secs after he heard it was his round back at the bar ...

Mike,
Jim Yanny is on his way with a four thousand dollar present for you. (Well, that's what it cost me when I bought it!) So be nice.

Eric,

Thanks for hosting the party! It was fun as usual and it is always nice to see everyone (and all in one place!) :-)

Thanks to the sponsors also!

Best,
Kathy

What a nice guy Eric is - and he didn't rise to my baiting in the cafeteria after either!
