Spotting Gathering For Public Access TV Show

[PhilDernerJr]

I've been contacted by a gentleman that produces public access TV who wants to do a 10 minute piece on our hobby. Most of it would be him filming us in action, performing a couple of interviews, and the now typical thing for us when being covered by the media *yawn*. lol

This producer airs one show each month in Queens, usually a profile about a local feature such as a park, historical site, local group or event. LAst week's episode was about the Jamaica El Train.

I haven't decided when, but I assume on an upcoming Saturday. On LGA's runway construction schedule, I see that 13/31 will be closed on July 15, which would mean the Planeview would be the place to be, and a good place for this kind of event (close to traffic, green, open, legal, etc.)

Let me know your thoughts guys.

That sounds like a great idea, Phil, hopefully one more opportunity for us to present our hobby in a favorable light. I like your thoughts about LGA on 7/15, weather permitting. Should make for some great visuals, and like you say, accessible and legal. I should be available that day.

July 15th sound's good to me to.

Let me know! I would love to spot at planeview!

As long as the weather looks good, I should be able to get myself out there. Maybe I'll actually manage to meet some of you this time!

[PhilDernerJr]

Awesome guys. :)

I've emailed the producer about the date, and I also invited him to the picnic. I'm awaiting a response and will let you know if we are a go for July 15.

Thanks for being willing to get involved in this.

i might be going to work with my dad on that day, so we might stop by. what time? this might be a great chance for me to meet the gang

Phil,

Any news on this Saturday yet? Long-range forecast looks like a decent morning. Although with chance of T-storms Fri & Sat, it may be pretty-hazy.

[PhilDernerJr]

The producer can only be there from 8-9am, so I hope you folks can make it out there that early.

I have to take Mel to a doctor's appointment in the early afternoon, so we'll try to make as much of the morning as possible. :)

Meh... sucks that it's between 8-9. It would mean my dad and I would have to get up at 5:30 on Saturday for the drive.

Not sure if I can make it for the interview but I know my dad and I planned on going down anyway to JFK, I got my new lens and I'm dying to use it for banking shots!

Anybody thinking of JFK afterwards?

[pgengler]

Anybody thinking of JFK afterwards?

Since I'll already be out (trudging out from Jersey that day), I may head over to JFK if I don't feel like just falling asleep from being up. Any idea where you're going to be, in case I should head over and want to meet up with you?
