McWorkshop. Round 3. Day 5.

Amber again. 

The final official day of the McWorkshop arrived. Friday was contest day, and our awesome attendees had stayed up crazy late (some not even going to bed!) the night before working on their contest submissions. Our morning started off with Will from ShootQ giving us a quick ShootQ tutorial. After he finished sharing this awesome studio management software with us, Corey took the stage for his final day. One of our awesome students, Jessica, had to leave just after lunch in order to get back for a wedding, so Corey gave the whirlwind version of his Lightroom tutorial and his DAM (Digital Asset Management) workflow so that she could see both... all before lunch! 

Lunch was at Cafe on the Square, and was sponsored by ShootQ. (Thanks so much to Will for coming up, and to Rachel and Andrew and Mark for being wonderful and dear friends. Much love.) 

(um, ew!)




Good times, as always.



After lunch, we did the contest. We were so stoked to see the contest entries and winners! We're going to do a separate blog post on that later this week. [Edit: I'd have to say that all of the contest entries were really great!]

Corey wrapped up the day of teaching with a little more Lightroom instruction and his final mentoring sessions. We broke for a short naptime, and then met back for our final dinner.
Photographer's Edit sponsored a delicious dinner at Fiddlin' Pigs.



We usually love Fiddlin' Pigs for its fun bluegrass and clogging, but we had never seen it this packed! We opted to sit outside... where we could hear each other talk, but still enjoy the music!



I was so excited. Corey's wonderful wife and my dearest friend, Jill, was able to join us for dinner this time. I had missed her all week....she'd not been feeling well. 



The weather outside was ominous... but the rain managed to miss us. Whew.



Fun times!





(And just for fun... Mariah with giant food, one more time.)



After dinner, we headed back to the studio for a few cocktails and RockBand! Have I mentioned how much I love RockBand?? Someone commandeered Corey's camera, so we have no idea who grabbed these images... but thankfully, someone did. Corey and I were obviously too busy playing.







One more post to come. I'll get it up as soon as I can!

McWorkshoppers... we miss you!!

The feedback from your workshops has been amazing. I just convinced my husband that I need to come out east for the next one!

OMGoodness - I LOVE ROCKBAND! I got through Bon Jovi's Wanted Dead or Alive the last weekend on guitar on "hard". I'm still proud!

My mom would add cinnamon and honey to the pb&b sandwiches before frying them in a butter. Mmmmm... I just drooled on my keyboard. Seriously.

We played Rock Band and Lego Star Wars after our last PUG. Seriously addicting.

We just bought Guitar Hero and love it. Is Rockband worth it?
