John,The Barbary Coast is across from Ballys not the MGM It is one of the best bangs for the buck on the strip. It also has a very good restaurant in the lobby. Generally, it is where I stay every year. Steve ------------------

Dave, what is up?You will plan for drinks with everyone here, but if Steve and I were involved, I bet your wife would kill you. You can't blame us for your own bad judgement. Don't know if I will be there. Depends on what the unemployment checks look like.

In another post I have proposed that the Film-Tech Drink be held Wednesday evening at 5:30 PM in the Bourbon Street Bar. The Bourbon Street Inn in across Flamingo Road from Bally's. The reason I picked Wednesday is that Monday evening there is the Independent Film Showcase. Tuesday Evening The trade show goes until 6:00 PM and it has been pointed out that many people go directly to Dinner after the trade show. There are also films being shown that evening. Wednesday evening the trade show ends at 5:00 PM and there is only one film being shown that evening at 7:30 PM. I figured that it would be more convenient to have a Drink at 5:30 and there would still be time to meet people for a dinner at a reasonable hour. I figure Thursday is out because too many people will have left and those that stay will attend the Banquet. I picked the Bourbon Street Bar because it is quiet and we can take control of it with little or no resistance. And that's where we held it last year. If there is any flaw in my reasoning please let me know. If you can think of a better place, let me know.

Sorry to say that I've had to cancel my ShoWest reservations.  Last week, my wife was diagnosed with a large bleeding ulcer, likely caused by medications she has been taking for another problem. She is now taking Prevacid and likely a powerful antibiotic to clean out the "bad" bacteria in her digestive system, so the metabolism of her regular medications is likely to be problematic for a while. We decided that I should not be 2000 miles away for so long, so my daughters and I will be at the Academy Sci-Tech Awards dinner in LA Saturday 3/3, but I will return directly home to Rochester rather than spend five additional days away at ShoWest. So, please enjoy ShoWest, give my regards, and share a toast for my wife's return to good health. I may be hard to live with, but we're both glad that I'm not the cause of her ulcer.  ------------------
