Polaroid Breakfast

For those of you who missed it last year, a few of us are getting together at Katzs Deli for the 2nd annual Polaroid Breakfast. Last year I wasn’t able to make it do to an airport security snafu but this year, unless the weather or security have it out for me again, I plan to be there.

We’ll be talking about all things Polaroid, from the recently announced The Impossible Project to what filters you might be using or where you’ve still been able to find some film. It should be a good times had by all, but mostly it’s just a chance to get together and meet up with other instant film fans.

You don’t need a camera, just an interest and a working alarm clock to get there by 9:00 a.m.

The details:

• Where: Katz’s Deli
• When: 9:00 a.m. Saturday, March 14th

I don’t have any reservations as it’s meant to just be a small gathering, but there’s been a lot more interest over the past year, so if you could just RSVP in the comments below in case I end up needing to give them a heads up.

Polaroid breakfast

For all you polaroid geeks out there attending SXSW a few of us are going to be having a breakfast at Katzs Deli at 9:00 a.m. Saturday March 8th. It’s right on 6th street and has received 5 out of 5 golden eggs while been nominated for the best bargin breakfast in Austin by Mr. Breakfast. I’ve recently enacted a strict policy where I won’t eat anywhere that doesn’t receive 4+ golden eggs, so this place made the cut.

At this point it’s just a couple of us so we haven’t made any sort of reservations, but breakfast topics will likely include cursing Polaroid for discontinuing production of their film to why the SX-70 is so much sexier then the SLR 680 SE. Mark Bixby will also be there to tell us how he got up the nerve to permanently modify his cameras. I know it’s early for SXSW standards but most of you die hards should be up taking pictures of the sunrise anyway.

If you think you might want to attend just leave a comment below. If you can’t make it but still want to chat about the dire polaroid film situation just come up and grab me. I’ll be the tall guy with the camera.

Update: I realized after the fact that it might have sounded like you needed a polaroid camera to attend, and that wasn’t my intention at all. All you need is a good solid interest in polaroids and a working alarm clock!
