I could give you a ride unless you don`t want to miss the independence of going in your own car. I am renting one anyway, so it would be pointless if I parked it somewhere.

Michael, I hope you have a pleasent trip to the USA. [Smile]

By the way, Nevada is nothing but a king-sized kitty litter box, so don't get lost in the desert. Don't bring your dog, either. They think those "crunchies" they find are "treats"... [puke]

Should European visitors wear a bullet-proof jacket ? [Big Grin]

No, I'm not coming unfortunately. I don't really work in the film business, you know. Just passionate about it, simply...

I wish you all a good time at ShoWest. Have a nice flight Michael.

Wow LOTS of people will be there this year! Everyone be sure to head over to the Kinoton booth, as that is where we tend to migrate. The Kinoton guys will also know when/where our Wednesday get-together will be. [Smile]

That`s a pity, Lionel. I would have liked to see how Greg beats you up to underline his point that even the smallest American has more fight in him than any Frenchman. Technically you are not really French of course, but you come close enough.

Michael,

Thanks for the offer, but being able to drive and drive and drive is one of the reasons I moved off an island!

I say this should be the year for the First Annual Film-Tech scavenger hunt. You have to go to different booths at the trade show and collect clues and silly floor samples. Whoever wins is the king of Film-Tech for the year. (Or queen).

INSANITY REIGNS SUPREME AT SHOWEST 2003.

Oh, oh, Bob. Better get your flak jacket on.

BTW, Thanks for the offer of a steak dinner. While the steak would be nice, I much prefer either Filet Mignon or Prime Rib....medium-rare of course.

Yeah

BTW, will some people boycott the Kinoton booth because it's made in Germany ? [evil]

"Being close enough to a Frenchman" is something never to be told to a Belgian. Quoting Antony Mason's hilarious book "Xenophobe guide to the Belgians":

quote:
The only thing that Belgians cannot abide, particularly the French-speaking Belgians, is to be asked if they are French. True to life, it sends Agatha Christie's Belgian detective, Hercule Poirot, into near apoplexy. The Belgians dislike the French with the kind of inborn passion that most Englishmen would recognize. The pride of the French in their own nation is, to the Belgians, the best argument against nationalism. How could the French, a nation so intelligent, be so laughably misguided ?
