Sorry, but after all my planning, e-mails, and questions, I simply won't be able to afford to attend the shoot this year. It's cost me about $600 to fly there and back, rent a car, etc., and I haven't even been able to find someone local or passing through to go with.
Y'all have fun without me, out there in some of the most beautiful country on earth!

'In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the person's becoming in every facet an American, and nothing but an American...There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag... We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language... and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people.'

Dang! We'll miss you.
(But with that 600 bucks your saving, you should be able to put in a pretty good bid on a book or the plaque!)

Like I said, I really can't afford to spend it. I'll be casting bullets though, if that helps!
