Save Saturday, August 23, 2008 for me (I’ve got something really cool for us to do that day)!
Jul. 3
3:16 am
Seriously, I have cooked up something very, very cool for us to do together, and you are SO going to want to be a part of it.
Although I can’t spill the beans until later this month, I wanted to give you a heads up now to mark your calendar to spend Saturday, August 23rd with me (Trust me; you’re gonna love it!) 
Remember; on August 23rd—-it’s you and me—doing something you’re totally going to be into, so try and keep that day open. More details soon!
Is this invite open to people in far flung places like Australia?
Kingsley
Perth, Western Australia
On the 23rd, I’ll be just out of 60 hours of flight, getting from Talkeetna, Alaska to Bastia, France… But I’ll book you nonetheless
We’ll be celebrating the release of Adobe Lightroom 2.0
It’s my birthday
I knew it! I knew that you’d come to Baltimore for a shoot sooner or later
Seriously, It is on my calendar - looking forward to it!
Same Q as Kingsley
but in UAE 
do i have to buy a new outfit or is it casual?
It’s NAPP subscription giveaway day. Either that or Scott gives away his entire equipment collection to us. Dibbs on his D300.
Well Michael, that will be easy for us to remember because it’s also my birthday
To Kingsley: Absolutely—-you’ll be able to be a part of this in Perth.
To Ivan: It’s not “Lightroom Launch Day” (Well, as far as I know anyway).
To Alexandre: Try to get a few hours sleep, because we’ve got stuff to do (glad you’ll be joining me though).
To Stacie: Thanks for saving that date; I’m counting on you (in fact, I’ll be dropping you a line off line about it next week).
To Fakhra: Save that date—the UAE is “in”
To Mag: Casual is fine.
You guys rock!
-Scott
Alright I saved the date.. Told my friend I can’t photograph her wedding. (Really thank you you saved me there!!!)
Can CANON guys play too ?
To Ivan: No, it’s not the 23rd. LR2 launch is on the August 28. May be a typo mistake….
Note: I leave in the country who creates more rumors than any other one.
Will this be an all day thing?
Cool!
Hmm, could it be a worldwide PhotoWalk with us all?
-possibly you’re going to clone yourself many times over and send a kelby to a different state and you’re going to do a photowalk with us all.
I can promise you that Fargo,ND is a warm state from June-August 23rd, so you’re very lucky.
Besides we know you’ve cloned yourself, it’s the only way you can write those books and be on a plane to a photo shoot while I’m watching photoshop TV on my computer.
Can’t wait, should be fun whatever you have planned. It’s also two days before I begin teaching Digital Photography at a local college (Have any tips on how to teach Photography to college kids? )
Have a good 4th of July!

Count me in!!!! Are you going to give us a hint?
-Bob
Well Scott, It’s a good thing I know you hate seafood.
I didn’t want to prepare something you wouldn’t like when you come to my house for dinner and to sign all of my Kelby books on the 23rd.
but seriously, what is everyone else who reads this blog going to do while you’re at my house? Curious.
Count me in, with batteries charged and an extra 4GB memory card thrown in for good measure….
-Mark
Scott,
You’re such a tease. But you never disappoint so I’ve got the event on my calendar. Just wasn’t sure what to call it. Maybe an official NAPP holiday? Fireworks and franks on the grill?
Hopefully my wife will be forgiving as it’s our 22nd wedding anniversary!
08 - 23 - 08
Replace the numbers with letters… H W H…
HaWaii(H)… You’re taking us all to Hawaii(H)?
Ha… I knew I would crack the code!! Nice try Mr. Kelby, but once again you have been outwitted. Better luck next time.
On my calendar………..
I’m sure that whatever it is, Scott will make it fun!!!
Scott, Great! I blocked off the day. Let’s just keep this between the two of us for now, okay? I know you can keep a secret. Steven
I’m eager to hear what your up to this time
… Gav
Scott - I’ve got you booked in my Outlook calender for this date.
Are you giving each of us a Nikon D700? Sweet!
It’s on my calendar!
Can’t wait to see what you’ve planned Scott! Do we need our tripods? Because I’m still a bit “sceeered” to take mine out to shoot.
yes, good way to count your active blog readers Scott
just kidding. Repeating Peter M question - are Canon guys invited too?
Another Canon Guy? Do we get to play too?
Is this a ploy to have us all write to our congress person again about the Copyright laws? New York has Hillary back, so maybe we can get something done here….
Maybe its a big Pin-the-Tail on the Adobe executive party?
PHOTOGRAPHY HAS BEEN A HOBBY OF MINE FOR MANY YEARS,IAM 62 NOW AND WOULD LIKE TOO SUPPLIMENT MY INCOME BY SELLING SOME OF MY PHOTOGRAPHS. WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THE SONY ALPHA A350. I HAVE THE OPTION TO PURCHASE ONE FAIRLY REASONABLE AND WOULD LIKE YOUR OPINION.I PARTICULARLY LIKE THE ADJUSTABLE DISPLAY. I VALUE YOUR PROFESSIONAL OPINION.
THANKS FOR YOUR TIME
JERRY MCLEOD
If you google August 23, 2008, http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&rls=com.microsoft%3Aen-us&q=August+23%2C+2008 the fourth entry is Scott’s blog post.
Maybe Scott is going to have us all assist him at Lauren Dana’s wedding or got front row seats to the WWE.
Canon, Sony, Olympus, Pentax, Nikon—everybody’s invited!!!!
Hope you’ll join me!
-Scott
Hey Scott,
Count me in too!
I will be busy going through the Hawaii shots and sharing memories with others about Moose, Laurie, Dave, and Matt. I hope I learn a lot from all four.
Can’t wait my Brotha!!
Mike
Hi Scott,
I actually left the convention center when I heard of your 8/23/08 “gathering” so I too will be joining in your Saturday Expedition.
Hope you’re well and Happy 4th of July!
Doug
its a date!
Hi Scott,
I will put it on my calendar. Better yet, just remind us again.
Also wanted to wish you and your staff a Happy Fourth of July. Keep up all the great work.

You’re all wrong. August 23rd is photographers around the world (and there will be tens of thousands) assemble in New York for a mass Tripod day. They will be forming a gigantic ring around the city with erected Tripods (yes I did mean to say that) and all shall be photographing public buildings. Following the demonstration they will all head off home, download the resultant images to their computers, apply copyright marks and then upload them to the web. From here we can all downloaded these ill - gotten images before telephoning our lawyers (solicitors here in Europe) to ask about the ‘Small Claims Court’. Yes I did watch the video.
I finally thought that I had figured it out. I thought that maybe August 23rd was Scott’s birthday, but that is on Monday!
So join me and wish a Happy Birthday (July 7th) to Scott! (Its amazing what you can find on Google these days) Thanks for sharing your time and passion with us big guy!
Just read this today on the 4th. I’ve saved the date and my bet is on a national photowalk. But maybe it’s a free day of Kelby Seminar classes. Which would be a bummer cause I think I’m going to sign up for a year using the July 4th coupon. Wonder though, how many people would it take to crash the server?
It’s Scott’s birthday Monday? Let’s have a party!
i must congratulate you guys photoshopusertv.com, kelbytraining.com, Matt,Dave, Scott.I am a Ghanaian graphic design student and i love what you guys do.try and come down here on of these days. Guess i am organizing an Adobe seminar for in September. i will send you the pix when i’m done. HAPPY BIRTHDAY in advance. I wish i could make it on 23rd but sorry i will be in school by then.
Rats, its one day after my birthday…
My calendar’s marked. Can’t wait to join in the fun.
Scott, you have the greatest group of readers, they totally rock!!
Scott… i can’t wait.
Is it Agust yet..???.
which reminds me, I’m shooting my first wedding…
What time are you going to be posting?
Can’t wait…
love your work. you are a true inspiration.
CS4?
