Hey, I was going to come with another photographer friend. Do they need to become a SLPS member? Or, can anyone just show up with a plate of food to view the showing?

@ Ariana... last year they had two shows going at the same time. One inside and one outside. I'm assuming it was the same show. And I'm guessing if the weather turned... they could just do the inside one only. I don't know though. Just a guess. :-)

Is this event going to be outside on November 21? While it looks like fun in the picture, what if it is cold and raining?
