*raises hand too*
And I'm right there with you on the way he says 'yonder'. 'Shine on' doesn't grab me so much but that 'yonder' rings my bell!
I'm so excited about the gala I can hardly stand it! I'm leaving on Wed. from MI, and flying to Atlanta where I'll meet up with my daughter. On Thurs., kcudawg is driving to my daughter's to join us in our road trip to Raleigh on Friday morning. I think we may be slightly crazy, cause kcudawg has to drive about 5 hrs. in the opposite direction from Raleigh to meet up with us. But what the heck, we just had to have our road trip time. We miss it so much! When Clay was touring, the getting there was 1/2 the fun.
I'm REALLY looking forward to seeing tons of Clay friends and hopefully meeting many new ones. I'll do my best to gather Clack, but as you know, the lighting in the Marriott ballroom is the worst. None of my photos were worth a hoot last year and my video was way too dark. Last year, I was close to the stage because a friend who had to cancel at the last minute, let me use her $1000 seat. This year, I'll be back to my usual spot by the kitchen door. So if you, or someone you know has a video camera that works well in low lighting conditions, please bring it along and tape the proceedings. You can never have too much Clack.
I've been studying my camera's manual to see if there is anything I can do in video mode, to compensate for the lighting conditions and I'm not seeing any info. I have the Canon S3 so if there is anyone who has any tips to share, please PM me.
