I don't either, but I clicked on the link and there were the inane 140 digit messages. My Favorite, by memory, 'Historical photographs are like 1500 year butterflies dead on a car grill.' Or close to that.
Part of me really hopes for an EMP.

maybe they answered their "to open, or not" with a 'not'
Soooooooo turns out I knew a bunch of people there-many from New Mexico. I just ran into one of them in Santa Fe a Lowe's a couple of hours ago while I was picking up some hardware for my new film drying cabinet. The reaction from this person?

Perfect!
Randy. You are in Chicago right? Let's get together for a cup or whatever when I am in Chicago at SAIC this summer.

Yes, I am in Chicago, Logan Square, near Western and Armitage, Blue Line El stop.
I can meet you downtown most any day, noon to midnight. I'm a night owl.
Or you may visit my darkroom / studio.
I assume you will be teaching SAIC this summer.
Sounds great!
From the pictures posted, it seemed a pretty even mix of male/female and young/old:

I'm just surprised at the ultra-low profile this event always keeps. You'd think there would be at least a little publicity to drum up interest or attendance beforehand, or a little dissemination of information afterwards. All the CCP has ever released on any of these events so far has been: "Access Denied. Information about this event is private."
The CCP has grown very elitist and secretive. It holds amazing archives, but the public can only see whatever the current exhibit is, (currently an 8-month long show of photojournalist Charles Harbutt). For a tax-payer supported "public" institution, it's disappointing...
"I love my Verito lens, but I always have to sharpen everything in Photoshop..."
That's funny! Sounds a lot like this place much of the time.
FWIW AFAIK the event is by invitation only.
