Hi all! I could've posted this in the workshops section, but seriously, this is one of the most fun things that has happened to me in quite some time! I'm just going to copy the text from my blog, because there are millions of links smile.gif


We've been planning for months, and I am so excited to finally tell you about an incredible upcoming opportunity.

What is involved?

*Two speakers: the incredible Corey McNabb and.. well, mesmile.gif

*Spectacular sponsors: White Glove First Edition Books, B&H Photo, WPPI, Rangefinder Magazine, Lowepro, Adobe, Marathon Press, Lexjet, Shoot Q, Photographer's Edit, Triple Scoop Music, Wacom, Pixel2Canvas, and McWorkshops.

*7 cities: Orlando, Atlanta, Raleigh, DC, New York City, Boston, and Chicago!

*8 hours of learning. Corey will give you the lowdown on wedding photography, and I'll talk with you about Lifestyle Baby Photography.

*Loads of prizes (over $17,000 worth!)

* Sponsored Lunch

*We might even throw in a little Guitar Hero wink.gif

I'm talking about the Rockstar Roadtrip! From March 24th through April 7th, Corey and I will be trekking across the east coast, sharing the secrets to our successes with as many people as we can! We are so excited!
Check out the website, and register now! Pre-registration price is a mere $175, so you really can't afford not to come! I can't wait to see you all there!

Lauren The Awesome
Amber - I'd LOVE to participate in this! Unfortunately, the pre-registration form page keeps giving me an error message. What should I do?
kaitlin
Sounds awesome Amber, although the registration form gives me a "Not Found" error sad.gif Would love to see y'all in Atlanta!
MikeWarren
Im getting the not found error as well. You can almost bet you will see one of us there for the ATL one!
Corey McNabb
Hey everyone!

We're super excited!! (About the upcoming tour, not that the sign up form isn't working!)

The web site lives on my server, but the form lives on White Glove's server as they will be taking registrations.

The web design team that created the form for us is aware of the issue and is working hard to fix the problem... we're sorry you guys are having trouble!! I guess every new venture has its speedbumps. We thoroughly tested the form before the launch, but it looks like due to the excitement over our tour, we seem to have crashed White Glove's server!!! Yay!! I guess that's a good problem to have!

The good news is, you can still sign up!!!

You can call White Glove directly at 714-841-6900 9-5 PST, or you can call me directly at the studio at 828.254.4954 10-6 EST, to sign up until the webform is back up!!!

Again, we're very sorry for any inconvenience, but we'll be up and running again soon... finger's crossed!!

Corey
andrew
Sounds great... let me know if there's anything I can do to help when you make it out this way!!
Rich Smith
Hmmm... $175 for 8 hours of learning and prizes? I don't know... could you possibly make it a better deal? Like throw a car in there for all participants or something?
amber holritz
Hi guys,

Corey pretty much covered the issue that we're having with the registration form...no worries, it'll be up and running soon, I'm sure.

What I wanted to ad was that I love y'alls enthusiasm! We've been super excited to get this launched, and the positive response since we blogged and forumed late last night has been just spectacular!

Thank you!
JenStewartPhotography
That is an AWESOME deal, so are there any plans to come out to the west coast???? I hear Sacramento is a great place for a workshop *wink* *wink* *hint* *hint* laughing.gif
JimCook
Looks awesome -- why none close to Kentucky? mad.gif

I know -- I know --- we Kentuckians don't have a clue about photography, but you really should provide education to the underprivileged. laughing.gif

Melody
Wow! I think this is awesome smile.gif Maybe I can make the Atlanta one! You guys rock! smile.gif
Airika Pope
This looks great! Let us know when you want to visit God's country in the Pacific Northwest.

SEATTLE is where the rockstars flock! thumbsup.gif
Corey McNabb
Alright, gang.... according to White Glove, the registration form is back up and running!!! Yay~!~!~!

You can now sign up here: http://www.wgbooks.com/rockstarform.php

Of course, you can always call to sign up too if you'd prefer: 714-841-6900

And here's the site again with more info: http://www.rockstarroadtrip.com

I'm so excited for you guys! This is going to be a great experience and oh my goodness, that's a crazy low price. It's practically free when you put in all the discounts and goodies.

Oh Jen! Is Bella really that big now?! She certainly is "bella" but with both your good looks how could you not make such a beautiful baby? I wholeheartedly agree with you on a Sacramento Tour. I am sure SF would be into it as well.

Should I be offended that you refer to Corey teaching him the rockstar walk? I mean, what will I teach him?

Hmmm...

But seriously, I'd LOVE to see some Jim Cook smile.gif

(And for those of you who are requesting different cities... we hope to do a couple more tours, upcoming... ,but maybe you should turn the East Coast into a springtime destination!)
Tim Co.

Once I have had the best -- I will accept no substitutions. Shyla is my runway sensei!


But you have taught me many things Amber, including how to laugh uncontrollably over the word "water" and how to be exceedingly shy.

Oh yes,

He'll certainly be wearing that hat at every stop along the way smile.gif And since you made fun, we'll have a special hat just for you... (ok, maybe not wink.gif )

We'll be on from 9-5. The tentative plan is for Corey to talk weddings from 9-12, we'll break for lunch together from 12-1, and I'll chat about babies from 1-4... then we'll have open Q&A (or a guest speaker, we'll see!) from 4-5.

We're going to have so much fun... and our sponsors have been insanely generous... just wait til you hear all the prizes floating around!

I guess I'll have to buy this to fit in.

Hope to see you in NYC!

So let's say that, ummm, theoretically, a person already attended the awesome ROCKSTAR WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY workshop, where they had a BLAST and learned a lot and got to see Sea Wolf and drink lots of martinis and stayed up too late and got up too early and was still late, and they wanted to attend the road trip, would there be anything new or would they just get to sit in the back cracking jokes and iChatting and texting the staff as they're giving their presentations?

You can NEVER learn too much! And as "a certain someone" (I won't name any names, but his name rhymes with "sly bliller"), just goofed around for week in my last workshop and probably didn't retain a bit of useful information, I might suggest a refresher course!
Katie Humphreys
Sooo cool you guys! You both have so much to offer, and it IS a crazy low price for all the goodies! smile.gif You will have a blast! Too bad there's nothing out here in CA..... rolleyes.gif

Thanks Katie smile.gif Although a West Coast tour probably lies in our future, we've got several folks flying over to our side of the world to see us over here! Fun!

I'm working on being there in NYC. Amber and Corey rock in just about every way possible!

Sweet! We'll be in NYC for sure! Make sure you have Jill pack the car with all the ingredients for those chocolate martinis so that we can all partake together!
