December 2007 Archives
I was thinking about upgrading my camera for a long time, but never really got around to researching for a camera I really wanted. This past weekend, I decided I really wanted to find "the one". I have a couple trips coming up. One being my trip to Chicago to visit friends and family for the holidays and two being that I'm going to New York Fashion Week in February 2008 for work!
I have an old 2 mega pixel Canon Powershot S200 and it was long over due for an upgrade so after looking through several reviews I decided on the Canon Powershot SD1000. I was looking for something even smaller than my S200 and wanted something sleek and clean, but most of all I want good image quality and the SD1000 had it all. I love the ultra compact size of this little digital elph and I also love Canon cameras because or their great lenses. This camera is almost as thin as my Blackberry Pearl and half of the length.
I will post some pictures from the camera once I take a few so you can see what they look like. Stay Tuned.
The party information is slowly creeping on to websites like Going.com. Here is another party I'm thinking about checking out when I'm in Chicago. It's called Yo! New Years Eve and it's at Subterranean in the Wicker Park area of Chicago.
It seems like all the cool stuff is going on around that neighborhood. When I was growing up in Chicago Clark and Belmont (Lake View) was the hip hot spot, but slowly Wicker Park got its claim to fame. Now, it seems as though all the cool urban nightlife and shops are sprouting up in Wicker Park / Bucktown.
I'm also thinking about the Debonair Social Club for New Years. Seems like more of my scene. There is also Swtich at Smartbar, but i don't really like that club. The music can be so loud that the dance floor shakes - not very impressive.
After looking through several lists of New Years 2008 parties and not really finding anything impressive I came across The Beta Theta's Class of '07 NYE party @ the Darkroom in Chicago. I'm thinking about checking this one out. It seems the most interesting out of all the other overly priced events going on for new years. And it's about $60 for a night of full open bar!
