Well, I decided to leave my video camera at home (he's been very bad lately) and steal my friends digital camera. This is my first photo trip report and I usually only carry a video camera so this picture taking thing was new to me.
This is the awesome goodness that is SFMM with TPR peeps and a kick @$$ party afterwards.
I'll let the photos speak for themselves, Enjoy!
