You heard about it? I must be doing a better job than I realized :-).

I saw at least one post about it here on APUG, I think.

We are unfortunately quite a way south from SF. However, we have a couple SF folks from RFF interested, and we're doing a joint "photoSlam!" in late April where we will bring folks together to share work, equipment, ideas and techniques in an informal setting. We also will be having a studio lighting workshop in May and our field trips tend to be towards the city (if only because both our field trip organizer and myself tend to like doing work there).

Yup, coming down that far once in a while would be do-able, but I live in Marin in work in SOMA, so it would be a pretty big hike. Getting something regular going in the city or a little north might even entice some of the wine country folks down occasionally.
