Sit up straight. No slouching. Look the interviewer in the eye. Don't bad mouth the other employers. Make sure your fly is zipped up.

Would you guys do me a HUGE favor and go to my online portfolio and tell me if it looks good enough to show my possible employers?

It looks great (although I'm not sure what they are looking for). As far as a webpage goes, I think it could be cleaner in design and layout.
The Black background is very brooding. Almost intrusive on the photos. The font is bigger than it needs to be; almost distracting.
Don't take my word for it; just an opinion.
The photos are great. Nice shots. Reminds me of a place I lived in for about 5 minutes. Not by any chance Augusta is it?
Are you bringing another potfolio with you?

lol, yeah it is Augusta. Weird. As far as the design, I wasn't going for anything beautiful, I just wanted to get them up. Thanks for the advice, I'll definatly head it. Do you think it's important enough to do before I go in the morning?
I am bringing a portfolio with me (mostly with the same shots). It was a little short notice, and I took all those pics in a weekend. Sshhh don't tell. I really wish I would have known farther in advance.
Oh well, no use cryin' over time and whatnot. But as far as the pictures are concerned. They're really okay? You can be brutally honest. I won't cry....much. lol

The pictures are fine! If you are bringing a port, I wouldnt worry about the online viewing though.
Some 2 cents on my part. I think your imagery would work better if on a plain white background and a clean ass verdana small font.
Better to have the veiwers gravitate towards the art than be distracted by other things.
Augusta! I knew it! Are you living there now?

Well, I just got back from the interview and it seemed to go well. They said they would let me know by the end of the day!
Yep, I'm living in Augusta now. :)

I lived there about 2 and half years (with some stupid chick). My bro was at Fort Gordon and I went out to visit and ended up staying (stupid chick)
I lived next to Augusta National at this apartment complex that had like 15 tennis courts in the complex. I did the tile work in the Augusta clubhouse. I worked at a place called Designer Tile and Tubs down on Broad St.
Do they still have the Post Office there? We used to go over the border to The Highlander in SC to party late.
Sigh.........
Memories.
