I almost forgot....AUSTIN...

Austin....we HAVE a venue.

Thanks to a referral from one of my friends who also gives photography workshops and some anxious attendees....we have a home for our natural light workshop in Austin!!!  Austin's workshop will be held on Thursday, May 1 from 9 am-6 pm and Friday, May 2 from 9 am - 3 pm at the Alamo Drafthouse in the historic warehouse district of downtown .  This urban area is a hotbed for live music, restaurants and nightclubs.  Our mixer will be held on Wednesday night at the hotel at 7 pm.

Registrations will open Wednesday morning!  There will be a direct link on the website and one will be posted here on the blog as well.   

Hotel information to follow, but our event coordinator said there are plenty of hotels within walking distance to the theater.  I will post hotel information to the blog when it is available. 

Austin.

...I am one step closer to opening Austin's workshop.  I know you all are waiting so patiently...much more patiently than I am!!!  I thought I'd be able to sign contracts today, but I'm still waiting on a couple of phone calls back.  These games of phone tag get out of control sometimes!  Austin will be our first workshop held during the week at the coolest location another workshop photographer told me about.  I will open Austin just as soon as everything is done.  Stay tuned.

Phoenix - I am getting emails every day about the venue for Phoenix.  Rest assured I am doing my best to get that city opened.  I know you all are excited!!!  Me too!

Phoenix and Flint and Austin...oh my!

Well, don't you think it's time to at least *start* thinking about these cities' workshops?  I do.

And the first thing I want to address is my "condition".  It's pretty serious folks.  Not many people know this about me.  But I am afflicted with a very serious problem.  Wanna know what it is?  Deep breath...ok, here goes.  I....Cheryl Muhr....am allergic to.....SNOW.  There.  I said it.  And it's out there now for the world to see.  And I know what you all are thinking already.  Isn't there likely to be SNOW in Michigan in  May??  The answer apparently, is yes.   Yes there is.  So, in an effort to keep me on top of my game and not balled up in the fetal position boohooing over how "cooooold I am" and how it "hurts to even breeeeeeathe" I think....we would be safer to flip flop Austin and Michigan's workshops.  Sound good to you?  Yes, I thought so.  Austin will be in May and Flint will be in June. 

I have also been receiving numerous emails every day asking to be added to the waitlists for San Diego and Sausalito.  I am more than happy to add everyone, but I really just want everyone to be aware that the likelihood of anyone getting a seat is slim to none.  I think at this point, everyone should just try to win a FREE seat HERE. 

I am STILL waiting on calls back from my stalking my many phone messages I have left for the group sales departments in California's cities.  I promise I am working on this every day.

Also, if there are any vendors who wish to donate door prizes for our workshops and be added to our list of sponsors, please contact me at thesecretworkshop@gmail.com.
