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

Corey McNabb and.. well,
me

Amber - I'd LOVE to participate in this! Unfortunately, the pre-registration form page keeps giving me an error message. What should I do?

Sounds awesome Amber, although the registration form gives me a "Not Found" error

Would love to see y'all in Atlanta!

Im getting the not found error as well. You can almost bet you will see one of us there for the ATL one!

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!!

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
January 31 2008, 07:48 AM
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!

Looks awesome -- why none close to Kentucky?
I know -- I know --- we Kentuckians don't have a clue about photography, but you really should provide education to the underprivileged.

Maybe I can make the Atlanta one! You guys rock!

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
(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!)

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

And since you made fun, we'll have a special hat just for you... (ok, maybe not

)
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!

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!
