What an awesome tour!
O. M. G.
“She will, I think, keep the bus from being a zoo on wheels.”
No. She will not.
Joe, I must admit – very exciting news for us europeans. Hope you’ll find a solution for this situation:-)
… no Florida stop ?!? Oh pretty pretty please 🙂
Nowhere at all in Florida? Bummer!
Any chance this tour will cross the atlantic? (pppllleeeeaasssee?)
The news is well worth the wait!
I think you must be a glutton for punishment or just like travelling too much. Good luck and don’t fore get to do the laundry
Numnuts and Strobist together? I hope you boys are carrying a lotta liability insurance (for the Chipotle visits, not the lighting seminars).
Woohoo! Joe & David together – can’t wait for the bus to hit Hartford!
Hi Joe and team,
I had a great time with you all last summer at the advanced lighting course. Now with David Hobby too. I will be at at least one of the stops.
Thanks to Jeff Snider and the folks at Adorama for sponsoring it.
I hope your server is in good shape on the 31st. I don’t want it crashing while I am signing up. 🙂
Take care,
Clive
Fan-double-tastic! Save me a spot – I will see you in Dallas!
Man, I wish you both good luck 🙂
And please… do something like that in Europe soon!
Oh wait – you say you’re not coming to Hartford…. I guess Boston will have to do then! Still stoked!
Wow! Just like a Rock and Roll band.. Sound like fun! 🙂
Yee haw! Boston is on the schedule!
Love the artwork!
Does this mean you’re already dreaming about something bigger, like theTheFlashPlane?!? *wink wink nudge nudge*
*Doesnt wait for answer and already clears next years schedule*
So when’s The Flash Plane coming to Australia?
Joe, Why do I keep hearing the Johnny Cash song, “I’ve been everywhere, now?” I think you could dub it the short pants tour. Are you going to do multiple dates on the cities that fill up fast? Sounds great. Maybe you can moonlight on blogs as well.
Bill
Woo hoo! Can’t wait for you guys to come to Boston!
–John
Planning on attending the DC event. Should be a blast. Any inside track for your Maine alumni? Just remember to not drop that “F” bomb 😉
I only wish it was one Nikon shooter and one Canon shooter.
Grueling tour for old guys LOL
(I was jus’ jokin’)
Debbi
Very cool! I hope you will be in my area.
Awesome, I’ll see you in Madison, but hey, no push pin for Madtown? Where’s the love?
Holy smoke! I can’t think of anything cooler and I’ll finally get the chance to attend one of your seminars, really looking forward to this!
Woo hoo you’re coming to Portland. I am sooooo there.
when is the UK tour? please?!
Is the bus waterproof? Can it become a submarine? What chances are there for you both to head across the Atlantic pnd and make it to blighty (UK)?
I’m with tb, pretty please on the Florida stop! THIRTY cities sounds more impressive than 29…
Depending on cost I will see you Salt Lake City!!!!
Damn again of being outside of US… David and Joe on the same bus…
How badly i would like to participate 🙁
Anyway – all the best and have fun guys!
(Same for anyone can attend.)
I see Denver – YEAH BABY!
You know… Canada’s not THAT far from those stops…
I see no pins on that map in Montreal, Toronto and Vancouver. If I send you some pins, will you come?
😉
Duh, nevermind, I must have missed the yellow pin on Madison…the cheese is getting to me…
Looking at your schedule though, looks pretty grueling on some of these stops…driving all night perhaps? Gonna be pretty wiped out by the end I bet!
Awesome guys! Very exciting. I’ll see you in your hometown Joe!
Sounds like an Epic trip! It’s going to be great to learn the nuances of both controls, manual and TTL.
Great news! I just put a reminder to myself to register next week. Can’t wait to see numnuts again. 🙂
Joe, you wuss! You are coming to Minneapolis and wait until April 17 when its a lovely -20 in the end of January! All kidding aside when in town, while I’m sure you’re off to Chicago right after the event but if you have some down time let me know and I’ll treat you to dinner or a coffee!
Jill Flusemann (photoshop Wilma/Joe extraordinairre 🙂
Outstanding!! an Atlanta stop!!
“The Why of Light”
That sounds like a good book.
Despite my inability to attend south of the border, I’m STILL excited for this! And the artistic representations of yourself and David are uncanny.
AARRGGHH!!
What’s with that huge, gaping hole in the middle of the country? I’d kill to have you guys come closer than 8 hours to Lincoln, Nebraska. What about Omaha? Or Kansas City? KC is a short hop from St. Louis if you want to extend your tour by one date.
Really nice, too bad you guys aren’t coming to Montreal. Two of my best sources for flash photography.
….and Europe?, like i.e. Switzerland
just make sure the “Black Water” valve on the bus doesn’t come loose on some random bridge
http://www.chicagotribune.com/chi-0503100266mar10,0,5749199.story
Maybe you all should rent the Robin Williams movie “RV” before heading out.
Rock Stars!!!!!
Oh, I so wish you guys were coming down to Australia with this, sounds fantastic!
Man, this sounds awesome. Let me echo others here, and say I wish Florida was included!!!
Yeah, Boston! I’m pretty sure my voice is going to jump 2 or 3 octaves when I secure a seat…
One more for the other side of the Atlantic 🙂
And you are not coming to Toronto because?
a: Too much hassle at the border
b: Canada is too cold according to Drew
c: Cannot go everywhere
d: Canadians ask too many questions
e: Planning a seperate Canadian Tour because Heart is touring Canada and Ann and Nancy Wilson booked their tour first
f: Joe and Dave have a criminal record and cannot get in the country
g: all of the above
1st things 1st. Happy Australia Day !!
ohhh and what a great tour. Wish I was living that side of the pond but alas I stuck with this wonderful country. Hope it exceeds everyone’s expectations and is the catalyst for a global itinerary.
Sweet! I am stoked for this. See you in Atlanta!
Joe, do you see that big, grey area just over the northern US border? There’s no pins in there mate… How come? Please put on some pins in that area next time… About where Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver, Calgary and other such other places would be :-).
Quite a few people this side of the border would like to buy you a beer (or two) 🙂
Cheers!
Bogdan
And does the bus have aquatic abilities to bring you both to the wrong side of the pond? Jealous of Europe!!
Psyched! Will be there for the opening gig in Seattle, watching all the “kinks” getting worked out. Can’t wait!
I’m issuing a challenge to both of you.
Every time the bus stops at a red-light one of you has to get out and set up lights, take the shot and get back on the bus before the light changes. Chinese fire drill style.
Assistants used have to be neutral. I know Joe and Drew have a TTL link.
Heckling is encouraged. Removing the batteries from your opponent’s flash not allowed. Mooning…. depends on the jurisdiction.
Posted here and on Strobist.
Big announcement from Mr.McN and Mr.Hobby……
I was hoping the announcement of the long awaited replacement to the D700, but no …. 🙁
Ah well … it’ll happen eventually.
Enjoy the trip
C.
Pretty big gap there in the midwest. How about making a stop in Kansas City 🙂
C’mon…….No Montana love? Moose would not be happy.
This made my day! I will be first in line in Seattle 🙂
Looking forward to March 26th – it’ll be a wh00t!
Love that you’re coming to Seattle, thanks! It’s only 5 hours ferry/driving time from me in Victoria (you T.O. people – stop whining – it’s only 2 hours to Buffalo!). The only downside is that March 11th is my wife’s AND my daughter’s b-days. Hmm..wonder what I’ll have to barter with….
I hate to make this a broken record, but Canada is calling! When will you guys be venturing north of the border? You name the time and place. We’ll be there in droves, I promise you!
Two of Canada’s largest cities are near the US border… Toronto and Vancouver.
Come on guys, show us a little love…
Cannot wait to sign up for the ATL tour stop!!
Looking forward to see the magic photons fly
BTW awesome illistration of you n david on the flash bus site!
The Gods finally know we’re here in Indiana. The announcement of the superbowl for next year is only an appetizer by comparison to the stopover by Joe and Dave.
I am SOOOOO going. See you at the NYC stop.
WHOOHOO……Albuquerque!!! You’re actually coming…i am so doing the happy dance!
Hi Joe,
The tour sounds great. Looking forward to the NYC dates.
A few weeks ago, you mentioned that you were a beta tester for the new PocketWizards for Nikon. Will you be doing a review?
They sound really good, but I’d still like to see some evaluations from independent sources.
Thanks,
Jim
Joe,
How will this tour differ from the NAPP lighting one you did last Fall?
See you in Dallas!
Hey!
Where’s Kansas City on this list? All those other cities are just a bit too far away to make it practical for a lot of us midwest photographers.
McNally and Hobby in Seattle? The first stop of the tour? For $99! Are you freakin’ kidding me, I’m setting myself a reminder to register as soon as I can!
I wonder if Nikon Europe wouldn’t be interested in sponsoring a tour of you two… At least the capitals from European Union. And since it’d be the first one in a lot of countries, I cannot imagine at least 1000 people per sitting. More like 5000, even. Just give it a thought; start from Dublin 🙂 and make your way eastwards.
When will the bus be coming to Australia?
Don’t tell you are going to miss cricket world cup .. !!
(just kidding .. I am sure you may not even know .. where it is happening 🙂
Hmm, Atlanta on April 3. Wife is due on April 4. This is gonna get tricky…
Joe & David see you in Atlanta.
DAMMIT, Joe! You FINALLY come to Seattle when I’ll be on the East Coast! Could timing be any worse?
Trying to decide if I would benefit from attending. I took your “Learn to Light” seminar at Gulf Photo Plus in 2009. I have David’s Lighting 101 DVD series. Is the Flash Bus Tour the same material, or would I learn new stuff? I’m willing to spend if I can learn something new.
Your candid response is appreciated!
Thanks
Sorry, I submitted a post earlier about taking Joe’s seminar “Learn to Light”. Actually it was in the spring of 2010, not 2009… not sure if he taught in 2009 or if the seminar changed…
thanks for correcting.
See you in Los Angeles!
Would love to see you in Jax, FL some time! And we have warmer weather than the freezing temps of the north… we’ll even throw in a few margaritas if it will entice you! ~ Palm trees and bikinis? what more can we offer up to ya to say “yes”? :o)
I was so excited to see Salt Lake City on there – but when I went to register I realized that March 20th is a Sunday, so I can’t come.
Any chance we could move Salt Lake to Monday the 21st?
Dang, dang, dang.
sorry nate….logistics, mileage and sked made SLC doable on Sunday, or not at all…apologies….joe
Joe, I guess I don’t check your blog often enough, as this tour is already full in Portland, OR. I put myself on the wait list. Looks like it’s going to be a success for you both…Byron
Great post with great information about lighting category totally new peace of knowledge for me.
Wow! It’s a long way to go! How about the UK? 😉
