UPDATE: The final date and place is Sunday March 4th, at 10:30 A.M. in the main hall of Brussels Central Station. See also the event tracking on upcoming.org. Bring whoever you want and see you there!

It's been a while since I kicked off something stolen from across the pond, but Jan Tielens had the great idea of doing a Belgian Photowalk, so I'll happily broadcast it here and hope that we can get a lot of people aboard!

Actually, we don't really know what the 'mericans mean by "photowalking" but our version of it is pretty plain and simple:

If you're interested in photography, let's get together for a day to walk around some place, have some fun and and shoot some pictures!

Digital or film, beginner or pro, cellphone, compact or SLR camera, kilopixels or megapixels, Java, .NET, php or Cobol, it doesn't matter - you're all welcome as long as you're interested and can cope with people stopping every 10 seconds to take pictures So it's nothing official, it's not a course, it's just a day to hang out with some fellow passionado's, have some fun, get to know some new people, exchange ideas and tips, and make some great pictures.

So here's the plan: we meet in Brussels (a central location with lots of nice photographic opportunities) on Saturday 3rd or Sunday 4th of March at 10 A.M 10:30 A.M at the main hall of Brussels Central Station. We go on a nice tour through the city, have some lunch, walk around some more, and of course take lots of pictures. If you put them online afterwards (e.g. on flickr) we can tag everything and have a nice tagged collective memory of a lovely day

If you want to join us, leave a comment with the following details:

- You and how many of your friends (you did invite all your friends, didn't you?)?
- Do you prefer Saturday 3rd or Sunday 4th of March?
- Any good ideas where we can start our walk? I guess near the central station would be best, but I don't know Brussels well enough to make good suggestions on a starting place and an interesting route we can follow.
- Other brilliant ideas to make this an even bigger success?

Let's hear from you and get those ideas rolling!
