Somebody take their iPhone and live-blog it for us, okay? Even if all the juicy bits have been leaked by then, I'd still like to see how the actual event goes over...

Ok, kids... In NYC right now for Saturday's wedding, fly out to Italy on Sunday for next weekend's wedding and back to NYC on the 7th... Depending on how I feel when I get back and if I can get someone to send me an invite I'll try to stay for the announcement on the 9th...

Cheers,

Here's my bit of rain on the parade: These events don't necessarily imply any kind of central coordination from the Leica Worldwide Command Center.

Having noted the speculative frenzy on photo-fora about the whole "9/9/09 at 9" bit, any savvy store marketer would be smart to schedule some kind of event at that time, just to build store traffic... even if they don't have anything to announce/show other than, say, S2 news.

OK, and the taking of pre-orders (with a deposit) gets them what? $3 USD of interest earned for the period?

Granted, that still doesn't mean something coordinated is happening directed by the LHC (Leica High Command, not Large Hadron Collider) but these guys aren't Ferengi enough to pull this kind of actionable stunt.

There is a press announcement at 9am in NYC at the Time Warner bld. Appears to require an invitation which I am attempting to obtain.

At 1pm there is a presentation by Justin Staley on Leica s new announcements at B&H s Super Store in NYC. This one is open to the public and you can register for it at B&H website under I believe ...events.

Thanks for the info! Doesn't look like I will be able to make the road trip as the week is already booked solid...

thanks again.
