To all DPP Members,

I am listing here the schedule and list of activities for our upcoming DPP 3rd Year Anniversary Party.

Date: Sat / June 27
Venue: Fully Booked High Street
Time: Open 10:00 am / Finish 12:00 midnight (WOW!)

Schedule: 10:30 am to 7:00 p.m. Free Workshops
8:00 p.m to 9:00 p.m Live Judging
9:00 p.m. to 12:00 Midnight Party

About Fully Booked:
We will be occupying for the entire day three venues / lecture rooms in Fully Booked. 1. The Basement 2. The 4th Floor , and 3. Top Shelf on the fifth floor. The Basement is like a 60-seater theater so workshops with slide show presentations will be held here. The 4th Floor will have 20 Intel Powered computers set up for our Photoshop classes. All our Photoshop classes will be held here. If the computers are taken, you can also bring your own laptop or just sit in and watch the lecture. Top Shelf is at the 5th Floor and will be the venue for workshops, live shoot, and displays by our sponsors.

What to Expect:
A whole day affair. Workshops start at 10:30 a.m. and continue all the way to 7:00 p.m. simutaneously on the three different lecture rooms listed above. After the lectures we will be having a LIVE JUDGING of the Top 10 images of our photo contest. This should not be missed by anyone as it will be really fun and also very educational.

After LIVE JUDGING we will go into our DPP ANNIVERSARY PARTY that will be sponsored by BACARDI (Only good booze in DPP!) For sounds we have hired a good band that will perform in a ROCK-EOKE setup. For those of you who do not know how this works, just imagine KARAOKE but done with a Live Band and infront of all your fellow DPP Members. Its the perfect topper for our Rock Issue.

Raffles and Goody Bags:
There will be raffle prizes given out throughout the entire day from our sponsors. Don't expect things like DSLRS to be raffled, but our sponsors have pledged some nice products. CANON PHILIPPINES and NIVEA have already pledged 300 Goody Bags for the event.

Registration and Entrance:
NO ENTRY without a DPP PARTICIPANT PASS that comes included in every issue of DPP #26. This applies the same to subscribers. You must have your PARTICIPANT pass or you will not be allowed to attend the free Lectures or our Party. The rule is ONE PASS PER PERSON. If you bring a wife, friend, mistress, or whatever, that means you need to have a pass for that person as well. Registration will be done at the Fully Booked Customer Service area in the Ground Floor. We will have our staff there where you will register for your workshops, receive a list of what room each class will be held, receive your Goody Bag, and fill in a raffle stub. The first 300 registered participants will receive Goody Bags. Once supplies run out we won't be replenishing.

Workshops:
We will be restricting each Participant to Three (3) Workshops for the day unless there is an empty slot and then the empty slot will be filled by first come first served. When you register you will be listing down the workshops that you want to attend. Once the class starts, we will double check if there are any empty seats and will then fill those seats with anyone waiting. Again, you will need a pass to enter the workshoops. NO PASS NO ENTRY.

Dress Code:
We are going to be implementing a dress code for our Anniversary Party. The attire is Casual Chic (no shorts, slippers, or sandals will be allowed). Dress to Impress because this is a DPP event and you should all be proud to be DPP Members.

Food and Drinks:
BACARDI will be sponsoring our event so expect the best Cuba Libres in town. There will also be beer. As for Food, you will be responsible for your own meals. We will have finger foods during the party but don't expect any full blown meals because this is a party and not a dinner. There are loads of restaurants in High Street, so if you're starving, step out briefly and come back.

Others:
Canon will be offering FREE sensor cleaning throughout the entire day and also product demonstrations at their booth.

Nikon will also offer FREE sensor cleaning for Nikon units. If you bought your unit through Columbia Digital, you will also get a FREE 3-Issue subscription to DPP.

All Photography Books will be at a 20% DISCOUNT in Fully Booked so if there is a book that you have always wanted to purchase, this Saturday will be it.


There you have it. We may have some minor changes as Saturday draws near but what you see listed above is more or less what is going to happen. I will EDIT my original post whenever I have an update so I encourage you to monitor this thread closely.

Looking forward to seeing everyone!

^Wow!

Canon free sensor cleaning... regardless of body I hope? :P

So there you go boys and girls!!!! :) Thanks for the info nick! :) see you on sat!

I still don't have my issue #26. can i just buy on the day of the event in fully booked? thanks!

Hi there maan,

If you are a subscriber, you don't have to worry about the pass. Fully booked will have a complete list of the subscribers on Saturday. :)

Wait I want to attend Wesley's talk and I also want to ask questions from Master Raymond!

can't wait for your lecture master jay! :) i haven't composed my questions for you yet from the other thread, i'm confused on where to start. :BlackEye:

I still don't have my issue #26. can i just buy on the day of the event in fully booked? thanks!

Passes as I stated are in every Issue of DPP. You can buy a copy on the day itself if Fully Booked still has copies. Last I checked, they are almost sold out. :)

Wow Nick Wow! I can't wait for future DPP events! I thought last year's was good! This Saturday's event ROCKS!

im so excited on this event...... :-)

Hi there maan,

If you are a subscriber, you don't have to worry about the pass. Fully booked will have a complete list of the subscribers on Saturday. :)

thanks ms.princess, i'm not a subscriber yet :-(


@mr. nick, sold out?! its not impossible, hope i can still grab one. :-(

cool, 20% discounts on books (plus I'll have my camera checked) :)

and yeah, I knows this kind of karaoke (we had one in Seattle last year)

thanks ms.princess, i'm not a subscriber yet :-(


@mr. nick, sold out?! its not impossible, hope i can still grab one. :-(

Yikes, try to check Fully Booked at Greenbelt. Last time I checked, i think that was just last week. There are still a few magazines. :)

Hi there maan,

If you are a subscriber, you don't have to worry about the pass. Fully booked will have a complete list of the subscribers on Saturday. :)

Ces,

Not true. My post says that if you are a subscriber you should be bringing your pass to the event. Don't forget your passes otherwise you won't be able to attend. There will be too much going on that day that we won't be able to try and monitor subscribers or non-subscribers.

For everyone its very simple. Inside every DPP is a Participants Pass. Keep it and bring it with you to the event.

Wow Nick Wow! I can't wait for future DPP events! I thought last year's was good! This Saturday's event ROCKS!

Yes Maam it gets better and better. This time we won't put a cap on attendees as we did last year but I can foresee the classes being standing room only.

Ces,

Noted nick! Thanks for the Info!

JUST UPDATED REGISTRATION

We have Goody Bags for the first 300 participants and will not be replenishing once stocks run out. Come early!

@Nick- expect "A Guide to Shooting Brides and Children by Pilar Tuason" will be one of the hottest Seminar slot this coming Saturday. I will fall in line for this one. = )

Yikes, try to check Fully Booked at Greenbelt. Last time I checked, i think that was just last week. There are still a few magazines. :)

thanks! prob is, im in a far away land of laguna ryt now... panic buying mode eto. :-)

@ sir nick, are DPP Mags also available in National Bookstore?

I am pretty sure they have. I just saw some at National Bookstore at Greenbelt 1.

Maan you won't find our magazine in NBS. Its a long story not worth explaining here. Have someone you know buy you a copy elsewhere and keep it for the event.

aww...too bad :-(
yup, will just ask someone to buy it for me in Manila.

thanks ms. princess and sir nick for the responses :-)
marketing glitches with NBS huh?!

this is the best anniversary the we should not miss.....!!!

maan, you may ask someone you know here in the metro to buy for you like what sir Nick said
or you can ask any kind-hearted DPP members to buy a copy for you and meet you on the event day, just make sure that both of you will really attend :)

there are still copies of DPP #26 at Fully Booked in SM-NE The Block i bet they won't last long

Because if it will take a whole day, while everyone willing to participate for the photo contest that would be a conflict.

Looking forward to seeing everyone! Sir Nick may I suggest to put which room per listed workshop, just to prevent anyone get confused before attending his/her prepared workshops.

In short floor location for each workshop listed.

just my 2 petot. :)

Here's and original DAVID TONG idea

"Webcast.... So folks not in the Phil can watch what's happening :D"

http://digitalphotographer.com.ph/forum/showpost.php?p=704511&postcount=4



EDIT: Nick, an additional suggestion: For potentially in-demand workshops, like the one that will be handled by that reputedly (and, admittedly) beautiful lady named Pilar, may they have a mirror session in those time slots where there are more rooms available (e.g., 10:30am TO 1:00pm time slots)? hehehe. Just exploring....

This is a good idea dan....so I can watch na lang and be a part of this event :)

Wait I want to attend Wesley's talk and I also want to ask questions from Master Raymond!


diggin this one too. :D

This may very well remind you of registration for classes during your college days (when it was purely a manual process):

Hi guys, can anyone help me with the directions going to fully booked and probably parking areas near the venue. I'm not that familiar with the place. Thanks!

Same here. Can anyone provide info for parking? The only parking space I know that's near is the one for Serendra (the one in Market Market is a bit far off), but if I am not mistaken, the rate is a bit high, especially since it will be a whole day event.

Tim, side parking lots beside Boni High Street are fully available early morning (for the joggers, and patrons for Krispy Kreme, and the slew of coffee shops there). And it's not expensive since I believe they have flat rate for the whole day.

What to Expect:
A whole day affair. Workshops start at 10:30 a.m. and continue all the way to 7:00 p.m. simutaneously on the three different lecture rooms listed above. After the lectures we will be having a LIVE JUDGING of the Top 10 images of our photo contest. This should not be missed by anyone as it will be really fun and also very educational.

Looking forward to seeing everyone!

Nick, for the Rock-eoke setup, will the lyrics be available? :D

can Nikon users have their sensors clean by Canon? haha. sorry if it's a stupid question

I will definitely join the black magic workshop. I'm not going to attend the workshop at the camera club of the phils. eventhough I paid for that. :D

Whew! The thread Ive been waiting for is here already... day and night monitoring hehe

Grabe! Fully Booked is Fully Loaded on Sat.
I want to attend on all workshops listed but I have to choose only 3 :)

Is there a separate list for waiting participant? :D

example:

I listed my name to my 1st 3 workshops choices, can I list my name to the other workshops as waiting participant? So that if there are still vacant seats on that particular workshop, Im on the priority list already :D (but i guess, there would be no vacant seats) sa dami ng aatend...

If this is not possible, I'll just sit in or stand in to the other workshops? Hope there still space coz Im pretty sure that all of these lectures will become standing room also :)

I'm excited na!

See you on Sat!

Cheers! This is really loaded! Thanks in advance DPP! :)

Good thing I ask. I was thinking sa makati area yung fully booked. hehe. Sa the fort area pala.

Guys what time are you going to fully booked? So that I can come earlier than all of you? Nyahahahaha...:D:D:D Excited...:Grin:

may GA ang AP so probably you'll be there early..hahahaha

Hi to all DPP Members!

Can you tell me how to go to Fully Booked High Street when i'm from QC?

Can anyone tell me where Fully Booked High Street is? is there a public transport access if i'll be coming from QC?

Thanks and cu there!!!

Tim, side parking lots beside Boni High Street are fully available early morning (for the joggers, and patrons for Krispy Kreme, and the slew of coffee shops there). And it's not expensive since I believe they have flat rate for the whole day.

if i remember correctly, i had an event there once where i stayed the whole day, i only paid about 70pesos.

i think its not flat rate, its 25 first 3 hours, then 5 pesos every hour after that.

may GA ang AP so probably you'll be there early..hahahaha
Yeah you're right,sabay na tayo ha?:Grin:

Yeah you're right,sabay na tayo ha?:Grin:



if i could wake up that early :Oops:

if i remember correctly, i had an event there once where i stayed the whole day, i only paid about 70pesos.

i think its not flat rate, its 25 first 3 hours, then 5 pesos every hour after that.

Sir, are you referring to the parking in Serendra? Or the parking for the early joggers?

Nick, for the Rock-eoke setup, will the lyrics be available? :D

Lyrics available Adrian. It won't come out on a screen but we'll have sheets with the lyrics. However, if you are brave enough to sing you should choose a song where you already know the words!

Hi to all DPP Members!

Can you tell me how to go to Fully Booked High Street when i'm from QC?
To get to the venue from QC: take the South Bound MRT and alight at the Guadalupe station. You need to walk towards Jollibee but be sure to turn left before reaching it. It's a really busy street so you have to be alert. From there you should begin to see jeepneys that will take you to Market Market. Take any of those jeepneys. The ride is about 20 minutes and you only have to pay minimum fare. From Market Market, you will have to walk towards Serendra and then Fully Booked. You can ask around for directions once you've reached Market Market :)

What I usually do when I don't feel like taking the jeepney or walking is take a cab from Guadalupe. The fare would be around P80.

Same here. Can anyone provide info for parking? The only parking space I know that's near is the one for Serendra (the one in Market Market is a bit far off), but if I am not mistaken, the rate is a bit high, especially since it will be a whole day event.

it's 30 pesos for the whole day.

I think there's a ride at the gas station at the corner of edsa-ayala.:)

UPDATED: CLASSROOMS

Like I said in the first post, there are three classrooms in Fully Booked--the Basement, 4F, and Top Shelf (5F). Once you register at the Customer Service Area you will be given a printout of what room each class will be held.

I think there's a ride at the gas station at the corner of edsa-ayala.:)
ah true! that would be the fort bus. i havent tried that route, but should be a good alternative if you prefer to have air conditioning :D

ah true! that would be the fort bus. i havent tried that route, but should be a good alternative if you prefer to have air conditioning :D
Yup! And alot safer I guess.:)

anyone knows how long it takes to clean a DLSR sensor by canon experts?

Because if it will take a whole day, while everyone willing to participate for the photo contest that would be a conflict.

Note to everyone that there will NOT be a live photo contest on this day. We have another photo contest thread where the best photos will be printed and be part of our LIVE JUDGING event that happens after the Workshops.

We encourage everyone to join our Photo Contest. Winning prize is priceless BRAGGING RIGHTS FOR ONE YEAR.

sir, can we record the lectures?
(using videocams or cellphones)

oh I'll try to get some songs ready (gulp)!

Guys & gals, again, here's the map to fully booked:

http://img132.imageshack.us/img132/2809/maptofullybooked.jpg



=====

If you planning to ride the public transportation, here's some direction.
1.) Ride the MRT >> Go down at Ayala Station.
2.) Go down at the opposite side of SM Makati. >> Going towards McKinley Road
3.) Ride the Bus going to Market Market
4. ) Tell the Bus driver to drop you off at Serendra & Bonifacio High Street.
5.) Note, you won't go down right in front of Fully Booked. You have to walk, at least 1-2 blocks.

You'll easily see Fully Booked. It is one whole building.

It is right between Serendra and Bonifacio High Street.

======

If you planning to bring your car and not familiar with the place, then here's some direction, coming from Mckinley Road (Please refer to the map)
1.) From EDSA, turn to McKinley Road
2.) Just go straight, as you can see in the map.

Parking: if i am not mistaken. there's parking at the back to Kenneth Cole (Kenneth Cole is located just in front of Fully Booked, Bonifacio High Street).

======

Now if you really get lost, i suggest you ask the security guards roaming around The Fort. :)

======

SEE YOU GUYS THERE! Hope above information can help you find your way to the DPP Grand EB. :)

thanks for the info cez... :)

Are Tshirt + Jeans + Chucks considered casual chic or not quite there yet? Or it should be colarred shirt or more..?

About the dress code:

Dress it up a bit if you can. Put a blazer over that tshirt and you'll be casual chic.

UPDATE: NIKON TO PROVIDE FREE SENSOR CLEANING AND DPP SUBSCRIPTION

You can thank the main man Anderson Tan for this. All Nikon shooters can have their sensors cleaned for free courtesy of Columbia Digital. Anderson has also mentioned that he will give anyone who brings a Columbia Digital purchased Nikon for cleaning or bring the serial number of your unit to the event, and he will give you a complementary 3-Issue subscription to the best photography magazine DPP! Thanks Anderson.

A blazer is a type of single breasted coat (http://www.apparelsearch.com/Definitions/Clothing/coat_definition.htm), closely related to a suit (http://www.apparelsearch.com/Definitions/Clothing/suit_definition.htm) jacket (http://www.apparelsearch.com/Definitions/Clothing/jacket.htm). Generally, it differs from a suit (http://www.apparelsearch.com/Definitions/Clothing/blazer.htm#) jacket in that the buttons are usually metallic, and the outer material generally more durable. They occur most often in blue colors, but blazers of other colors are not unheard of. They are included often in uniforms (http://www.apparelsearch.com/Definitions/Clothing/uniforms_definition.htm) of civilian bodies, such as airlines, boys schools (http://www.apparelsearch.com/education_schools_fashion.htm), yacht clubs, and private security organizations.

I better tell Derick that we should come in a suit! :Dum:

Men in Black Outfit wow!:)

Nick, special request --- Deodato sana (vynil, if at all possible)....

Sir Dan, so you're an audiophile pala :)

I think I'm going to wear my black|orange 'brand shirt' :)

Thanks Mam for the definition.

But what I said was a sarcasm.

Anyway thanks for clearing the outfit. Good thing our office based personnel have blazer's for uniforms. I'l have to borrow one my female officemate's blue blazer...that should go well with my orange shirt, green pants and pink chucks.:Grin: Now that's Chic!

Is it ok to take videos of the seminars for those who are unable to attend?

Are you serious? i take it this level of seriousness is just for the evening event? So, are you sponsoring a jacket for the moderators Aly? :D:D:D

reply to the announcement made by nick regarding nikon's free sensor cleaning / free DPP subscription offer: anything in store for the Oly users? :)

You'll find out in the day itself.

Ces,

Not true. My post says that if you are a subscriber you should be bringing your pass to the event. Don't forget your passes otherwise you won't be able to attend. There will be too much going on that day that we won't be able to try and monitor subscribers or non-subscribers.

For everyone its very simple. Inside every DPP is a Participants Pass. Keep it and bring it with you to the event.

i got my free pass from the magazine... is it okay to have it laminated?

You'll find out in the day itself.
ay, bitin :) hope it's a good one :)

i got my free pass from the magazine... is it okay to have it laminated?

yes, you should, or place it in an ID holder

Ok to wear a suit? ...and rubber shoes? :)

wilson, no. it's not.Thanks. I guess I need to choose. :)

Guys & gals, again, here's the map to fully booked:

http://img132.imageshack.us/img132/2809/maptofullybooked.jpg



=====

If you planning to ride the public transportation, here's some direction.
1.) Ride the MRT >> Go down at Ayala Station.
2.) Go down at the opposite side of SM Makati. >> Going towards McKinley Road
3.) Ride the Bus going to Market Market
4. ) Tell the Bus driver to drop you off at Serendra & Bonifacio High Street.
5.) Note, you won't go down right in front of Fully Booked. You have to walk, at least 1-2 blocks.

You'll easily see Fully Booked. It is one whole building.

It is right between Serendra and Bonifacio High Street.

======

If you planning to bring your car and not familiar with the place, then here's some direction, coming from Mckinley Road (Please refer to the map)
1.) From EDSA, turn to McKinley Road
2.) Just go straight, as you can see in the map.

Parking: if i am not mistaken. there's parking at the back to Kenneth Cole (Kenneth Cole is located just in front of Fully Booked, Bonifacio High Street).

======

Now if you really get lost, i suggest you ask the security guards roaming around The Fort. :)

======

SEE YOU GUYS THERE! Hope above information can help you find your way to the DPP Grand EB. :)

Thanks for the guide. In case I am free on Sat I will be needing this.

hi nimrod...
do you happen to know if there's any transportation going around the venue after 7 or 8pm? Aside from Taxi. (coz im not used to riding on a taxi)..I'll probably on commute that day and not sure how to go home during the night.. :Grin: thanks thanks

Are you serious? i take it this level of seriousness is just for the evening event? So, are you sponsoring a jacket for the moderators Aly? :D:D:D

me sponsor a jacket?!! WHATCHATALKINABOUT?!!!:Sick:


I merely suggested we follow Nick's instruction "Dress to Impress because this is a DPP event and you should all be proud to be DPP Members." :Grin:


So, seriously, as a proud DPP member, what's your suggested attire for the night?:Scared:

hi Carmie!
the nearest terminal is at Market! Market! where The Fort buses, fx and jeepneys bound for EDSA (or Pasig, Sucat, Guadalupe, Bicutan, etc) are parked. There are also these small green-orange tricycles that can be found anywhere around the venue, though I think they won't take you as far as EDSA. Best move is to go to the bus and jeepney terminal at Market! Market! which is, like, 5 minutes walk from Fully Booked

Carmie, just pass thru Serendra and proceed to Market Market and you will find a lot of modes of commuting there other than a taxi, I think.

:Oops:: oooppss... I:Oops:'m not familiar with the place either. Soweee. I'll to ask some of my friends then get back to you. See you on Sat!

Ok to wear a suit? ...and rubber shoes? :)

not a problem. im wearing my transformers shirt and a blazer.

Carmie, you can go home even later than 8 pm (you'll be missing the party till midnight - that's sad)

I practically live in the area because our office is inside Market Market (yup, inside a mall!) and no worries on getting home late, hindi nauubusan ng jeep dun [trans: it's a busy place] :Grin:

same here, not familiar with the place.

sana may map :)

So, Rubber shoes would not be allowed? I am planning to wear a jeans and a polo shirt but i'll be wearing rubber shoes since I don't have those black (leather shoes. Do you think this would do? TIA.

Will you be sponsoring a jacket? Can I have one? Hehehehe...

@Ces, I tried.
@Aly, a suit's over kill. Nick merely suggested to dress decent. If you have a t-shirt for the day's event, bringing a jacket will spruce up your look from casual to casual chic. Now, if you want to wear a suit, seriously now............. :Scared::Scared::Scared: Toink......:RedEye::RedEye::RedEye::RedEye:

same here, not familiar with the place.

sana may map :)

try to read back for the map bro. it was posted by Princess Jarlyn Young.

same here, not familiar with the place.

sana may map :)

If you would kindly read back on other threads, there is a map posted.

question on the registration for workshops:

if another participant is running late (for example, got a flat tire on her way to the venue), can i sign her name up in the workshops of her choice?

Questions are getting stranger and stranger. But do keep them coming, we all want to make this party a success!

For the question above, I think it's only fair that you sign up only if you're physically there. Otherwise, people who sign up but don't show up will rob others (who are there) of the opportunity to attend the sessions.

Will you be sponsoring a jacket? Can I have one? Hehehehe...


No, Nimrod, I'm not sponsoring a jacket.:Oops:


@Derick - See what you started!!! Now everybody will ask me for a jacket!!!!:Angry:

@Nimrod, if your outfit becomes an issue, just look for Aly. I doubt he will give you a jacket, but he will certainly help you.

@Aly, it's not too late.:Grin::Grin::Grin::Grin:

Do some back reading. You'll see a map.

@Aly, it's not too late.:Grin::Grin::Grin::Grin:

:D:D:D So, Aly is a wardrober? Hehehehe... Yeah, Not too late. :):):) *peace bradah!*

:D:D:D So, Aly is a wardrober? Hehehehe... Yeah, Not too late. :):):) *peace bradah!*

No, I'm not a wardrober. And I'm not Donald Trump either! But If your outfit DOES become an issue, as moderator, I'll let it pass. :D:D:D

wish you all the success, i was there in teh first EB & it was ok, I hope now it would be bigger & better! if my wife wasn't coming here to hk on the 27th I would surely go home for this :D

oh well there's always next time :)

Aly - my jacket size would be XL & I bet a leather hat will go well with that. thanks. :Grin:

I think it won't be fair to the other people who came in early who wanted to sign up for the workshop they wanted...

So the answer is, sorry, you cannot sign in on your friend's behalf. You have to be physically there to sign up.

that's right ces. only members who are physically present can sign in for THEMSELVES. not for other people.

Tigas na, makunat pa!! :D:D:D:D:D

I hope everyone is getting excited cause we are!

One final meeting today at Fully Booked and if there are any changes I'll post them tomorrow. However, what we posted earlier as the schedule is more or less in place.

Hi, just joined DPP.

already secured a copy at SM Mall of Asia last Father's Day.

I'm so excited to attend this Saturday's activities and see all of you. :)

Had final meeting with FULLY BOOKED and there are no more changes. Please refer to the first post on this thread as your reference for Saturday's event. The doors to Fully Booked open at 10:00 am on Saturday but classes don't start until 11:00 a.m. Registration will take place all day but we recommend that you register early if you want to make the morning classes. We are expecting a full house and hopefully everyone gets a chance to attend the workshops. We also hope everyone sticks around until the evening when we have our Live Judging and Party.

Its gonna be fun and see you all on Saturday.

got my copy from GB5.. fully booked.. yey!! see u guys saturday!

Sir, if we arrived there ealier than 10AM, since Fully Booked is still close, is there a DPP/Fully Booked staff to assist fall-in-line policy?:):D I'm afraid to miss my desired lectures due to over flowing participants waiting outside of Fully Booked...just want to anticipate things :D
Hope it will be "first come, first serve and first to list basis" hehe

TIA

No, I'm not a wardrober. And I'm not Donald Trump either! But If your outfit DOES become an issue, as moderator, I'll let it pass. :D:D:D

:D:D:D Now I'm confident enough to attend the Anniv with my choice of clothes. See you all on Sat guys! 1 day to go for the big day! Yahooooo!

my flight to manila is 6:30am so enough time for me to be there by 10am :-)

Good question Marlon. We won't play police outside the doors of Fully Booked. We hope you members of DPP are courteous to each other and respectful. Once the door opens our registration will be at the Customer Service area and we will have a few people there to assist.

Those who posted on the list on a different thread here doesn't mean you have "reservations". Our event is strictly first-come-first-served and we ask that everyone be polite to each other.

Sir Nick, will there be an Anniversary shirt?

Sir Nick, will there be an Anniversary shirt?

You heard este read that fellow members...:)

Suggestion for the early birds, if you cant remember na who comes first, make a list outside :) so that when Fully Booked opens, smooth ang flow...:)

Haha Im gettin paranoid...is it just because Im excited? :D

Sir Nick, will there be an Anniversary shirt?

Uy I was also hoping for this one, hope they sell some. :)

I still see a few copies of the issue # 26 at booksale store, basement level here in Megamall

Thanks Jon! I finally got my "PASS"! Yey! See you all on Saturday! Wohoo! Cheers!

By the way, there are also a few copies left at Podium at the ground floor near the elevators.

Uy I was also hoping for this one, hope they sell some. :)

We were planning to do this but there is one catch.....Fully Booked is a retail store so we cannot sell inside their premises. So unfortunately, we don't have a DPP Shirt even though people are clamoring for it.

Then maybe DPP can still sell the shirts after the event.:)

It would have been nice too if there was a talk on concert photography ...especially since that's this issue's cover story...:)....still, I'm pretty stoked about tomorrow...:Grin:
