I have to say I had a great time at the meet. It was great to finally meet Brad, Don Sneed, Paul Thompson, Josh Jones and all the other guys. To avoid the typical Dallas traffic ensnarlments I got to TI Founders IMAX theater just a little bit early. A couple other guys got there early, but James Hammonds was the first I immediately recognized. Later that night, we all saw James' head pop up on screen during the Film Tech screening when he had to step out for something. Hehe. I hope to visit again really soon.There's a good possibility Brad has the best equipped projection booth on the planet (or at least one of the very best). Just on amplifiers, there was enough for a 2000+ seat auditorium! Same goes for the wall to wall subwoofers. Brad's response was "is there a problem with that?" Um, no. Hehe. And with all those film readers on the two projectors, it made for a real "film threading race" between Brad and Josh. Overall, the screening room is first rate. The sound quality is impressive, particularly the front stage channel separation. Even the rocking seats were pretty comfy. Paul and Josh may still be on the road as of this writing. Get back safely so we can meet again.

Hey John it is about time you started posting, good to meet you in Dallas, keep William out of trouble !!Matthew...it is good to hear Mr. Rosser is still around in Silbee, the Pines theatre was my first theatre I service when I went to work for RCA in 1985, he was a very nice man, I always wonder if he was still alive & the theatre was still up & running...when I service that theatre it was a Carmike Cinema, the Pines was the only theatre out of 40 that never, ever had a problem, I only saw Mr. Rosser every 3-months for a PM service call, but if Mr. Rosser ever did call me for a emergency call...it was a problem....If you ever see Mr. Rosser again, please tell him Don Sneed (use to be with RCA) said hello....

Brad, I want to thank you for helping Josh and me put this together.In due time, I know Josh will be among the best of the service engineers in our industry. There is absolutely no doubt in my mind that Josh will be a person that will help to keep our profession alive and well in the future if he elects to stay in our profession. I am sure that he will stay in it. It is indeed an honor and pleasure for me to know Josh personally. He is what our industry needs.  Paul

I had a great time too.
It was nice to meet everyone.
Some of my friends and co-workers can't believe that someone actually has a private theatre.
Hopefully I'll be able to make the next one also.The only disappointment was Ethan having to work that night.
Rumor has it me worships the almighty 'fro.

James:When the Film-tech home page booted, I reached for the fire extinguisher! Luckily I put on my glasses and realized it was only
a naturally back-lit photo of your crowning glory and my flat-panel monitor was not aflame. Great pictures, and glad you were able to
make the trip.
