BluDomain will not be available online for the next few hours. We have just received news that our entire team can't get booked on a flight until Christmas Eve landing in Colorado at 9:49 p.m. They are taking the flight in the meantime they are looking for any snow mobilers, helicopters, airplanes, private jets to rescue them. Everyone has children and this is horrible news. Please be patient BluDomain is heading to airport now to try and arrange a flight into a flat land and then driving to 8-10 hours into Colorado hopefully on Friday or Saturday if the snow clears up. Aundrea's fish is by herself and so we are also dealing with that and finding out how long Beta Fish can live without food. Yes a fish. In the meantime we are trying to be in good spirits.
NEWS- BluDomain is fearing that the hotel connection is too slow They are also fearing that they are receiving emails however they don't think they are receiving them if you reply to the email they have been sending clients all morning. If you compose a new email they get it but not if you reply to their emails. BluDomain is looking for an internet cafe. Thanks for being patient. And if you repllied to any emails this morning and haven't heard anything especially to support please compose a new email and send it back.
** Picture of Blu eating Cuban food at Costa Mesa's "Habana" with darling photographer Lauren Hillary last night. Stay tuned for our Christmas holiday card shot by the famous Chenin & Doug Boutwell. And Jack was there! Stayed tuned as Jack hangs out with the famous Becker for the Christmas holidays!!
United has cancelled all flights to Colorado meaning that the team from BluDomain minus me are stranded in California. Colorado is expected to get 3 feet of snow today. The good news BluDomain has all of their computers with them. The bad news they don't have all the files.
BluDomain will be setting up shop in the hotel and doing their best to accomodate all clients.
Please be patient. Anyone that signed up for the holiday card Aundrea will be doing her best with the contracts she took with her before they left. If you sent them in yesterday they have no way of knowing until they return unless you email her.
If anyone knows photographer Jennifer Bush please have her call 303.895-6196 and leave phone number- Aundrea just told me she can't get any emails to her.
I say BluDomain ditches work, goes out to see the Holiday movie starring Cameron Diaz, and goes shopping for Christmas. What do you think?
Yes! Everyone should take the day off! I'm in Denver too and there's nothing to do but enjoy being snowed in...

That sounds like a good idea! can I take the day off from being a mom today and see that movie too? LOL! Have fun being stuck in CA!

I can't believe all of this snow!! I'm in Denver too. I'm doing a little bit of work today (I have an album to finish), but mostly I'm curling up with a good romantic comedy ("a lot like love") :).
Congrats on being a new auntie! I'm sure your heart just doubled in size when you saw him!

I agree. Work is never a good idea.

Oh my! How fun, and how sad....what a place and time to be stuck- that many days huh? That is unreal!Beta fish need food, but more importantly, they need heat, does she have lights wrapped around the bowl? I am sending good vibes to the Beta- and the BLu crew too!

Go see Holiday - great film to pass the time with. I actually live in Surrey, England, just down the road from where they filmed half of the film so it was really odd to see it all. Very funny and entertaining.
Best of luck getting the flights back. Such a pain when that happens (the last 3 flights I've taken have been delayed by a day each, so maybe I'm jinxed!)
Good luck to little fishy Beta too!
Merry Christmas!

Oh my gosh . . . I will keep my fingers crossed that you will be able to get home soon.
I am in the area of where you are "stuck" so if you need help with anything don't hesitate to give me a call.
Posted by: Susan Nunn | December 20, 2006 at 03:13 PM
Being a traveler myself, not being able to get home really is a drag, Especially during a holiday. I need to chat with Aundrea, regarding new account questions and the contract she sent me Monday night. If she is up to it, and not sitting in a movie, I can email my number. Personally, I'd probably go see the movie.

How horrible for you guys! I hope you guys find a way to get home safely...and soon. I'm sure you really miss your families. Thanks for keeping us posted.

Sorry to hear about the weather. I tried purchasing a gift card but got a returned email saying your server is down. Can I still purchase one at the $495 price? Please email me w/details or let me know how to handle. Thanks!

We have a place for you to stay! I'm a fellow photographer who you are presently designing a site for and I'm less than fifteen minutes from where you are stranded. In all seriousness, if you need a relaxing no-cost place to stay, my husband and I have plenty of room and the door is open. PLEASE give me a call! The plus, I have computer hook-up! :) :) :)

Sending positive vibes your way. What a crappy thing to deal with. I'll be thinking of the fishy too. How sweet of everyone to offer help too (:

This wouldn't have been nearly as bad if you brought your children with you and had *me* photograph them (wink)!
Posted by: Carrie Sandoval | December 21, 2006 at 08:09 AM
oh no! I'm sorry you all are suck! I hope something works out and you are able to get home to your families and fish :)
