2nd Annual Worldwide Photowalk

Hey folks. It’s another crazy week around here, and if you missed yesterday’s post it’s because there wasn’t one. I didn’t catch any events on the DFW calendar this week SO if YOU know of one leave a comment or email me.

Today there are TWO important announcements:

1. Signup NOW for Scott Kelby’s 2nd Annual Worldwide Photowalk. Dallas registration is open, and I will have event details coming very soon. Only 50 spots are available, and just like last year THEY WILL GO FAST. If you didn’t attend last year find out what you missed on Scott’s blog.

2. Adobe Community Expert AND Photoshop Genius, Chris Tarantino will be giving a Retouching Webinar next Wednesday, May 27th. This event is so FANTASTIC I couldn’t wait until Monday to post. It’s only $10 which is INCREDIBLY generous for someone of Chris’s extensive resume. I may just have to bribe him with his favorite libation so I can get a front row seat.

As always, you can catch updates quickest from me on Twitter.

Good morning dear readers.

On the contrary, just doing my best to keep my head above water at the moment. In the juggling act of this month, something is bound to drop. Rest assured the respite is only temporary, and blogging duties will continue as best they can.

DFW Events – Week of April 5th

Hola! Here we are at the beginning of another week. Sometimes you need a little extra motivation to get up on a Monday morning. For me, it’s wondering how I’ll pull off two classes today, one in Arlington then another tonight in Dallas. Fortunately, there are a lot of events for you to checkout in Dallas this week. Oh, and before I forget today is the last day for you to grab the latest MacHeist 3 bundle of software. They’ve raised over $400k for charity, and you get the benefit of amazing Mac software for only $39.

Richardson Entrepeneurs – Monday, April 6th at 7pm – Details appear still TBA. There is also another meeting scheduled for later this month, so this might be a misprint.

Texas Glamour Club – Tuesday, April 7th at 7pm – Join the crew at Mardi Gras Dallas for the usual BS & drinks.

North Texas Photo Club – Thursday, April 9th at 7:30pm – NTPC member Lisa Laxton will give a presentation on Digital Scrapbooking. Cost $8

DFW Events – Week of March 22nd

“Sounds like someone has a case of the Mondays.” – Office Space

Made it through the weekend, almost feel relieved it is Monday. Sydney is still sick, although a bit perkier than on Friday. She’s at least sitting up on her own, and calling for the dog. I appreciate all the tweets and love during  our small family crisis. Thank you all. Alrighty, on with this week’s events:

DFW WordPress Meetup – Saturday, March 28th at 4pm – Surprise! No on blogs anymore it’s all about Twitter. j/k Come learn how you can integrate various Twitter tools into your blogging life.

And that’s it. Why you ask? Well, most folks have left their home cities to be at Photoshop World in Boston. At least that’s where I would be this week, except I have some business to attend to here. If you’re going, be sure to catch @NAPP_News as there will be a tweetup, which I believe is tomorrow evening.
