I guess i'll be there too.  |  IP: Logged Anslem Rayburn Master Film Handler Posts: 476 From: Yuma, AZ, USA Registered: May 2002 posted 02-14-2006 04:03 AM                     Just talked to our tech who said : "If you can tell me this week, I'll get you a ticket for free" The ticket price has been the excuse for the last 4 friggin' years, so maybe I can talk "THEM" into letting me go. If I can talk work into letting me go, I'm in. I like to drink and curse, just as a warning. I am also a bad gambler and like long walks on the beach...  |  IP: Logged Jim Ziegler Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 753 From: West Hollywood, CA Registered: Jul 99 posted 02-15-2006 05:11 AM                     Boss says we are going, so I'll be there...  |  IP: Logged Adam Martin I'm not even gonna point out the irony. Posts: 3686 From: Dallas, TX Registered: Nov 2000 posted 02-15-2006 12:44 PM                     I will be there, so you all should cancel your reservations before the deadline passes!  |  IP: Logged Dave Williams Wet nipple scene Posts: 1836 From: Salt Lake City, UT, USA Registered: Jan 2000 posted 02-15-2006 02:00 PM                        Now if only I had a tech with free passes to hand around, I would be in good shape! Too bad I actually LEFT the business years ago. No free passes for those in the finance industry. DAMMIT!

I understand from pictures I´ve seen in the pictures warehouse, this is a thing that happens at the Film-Tech drink every year. How did it start, and is he really eating all that cheese?

I'm about ready to get Brad to bring some of the left over nachos (depicted here) and come down to fight Steve for some of that cheese! I still haven't figured out why so many engineers devour cheese like it's going out of style...  |  IP: Logged Bob Maar (Maar stands for Maartini) Posts: 28608 From: New York City & Newport, RI Registered: Feb 2001 posted 02-15-2006 04:06 PM                        Last time I saw Steve, several years ago.. the conversation went like this: Bob: What kind of cheese is that? Steve: (Gave me a strange look) and said, Nacho Cheese!  |  IP: Logged Steve Guttag We forgot the crackers Gromit!!!

WOW! You'd better have good reasons to go there.. like business, or relatives, or husking acres of dried up corn. Say hi to the Adamanys for me while you're there . Thats one of the bleakest parts of the world! You WILL need Vegas and plenty of cheese afterwards......

Posts: 12814 From: Annapolis, MD Registered: Dec 1999 posted 02-16-2006 06:48 AM                     Mark I used Dubuque as a more known name and the city with the "airport" (all three gates...though it is two for departures and 1 for arrivals)...I'm actually going to Farley, Iowa "The Heart of the Corn Belt." as the sign sez upon arrival into the "city". Yes, my journey their is family related.  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 02-16-2006 09:14 AM                     Steve, Am not sure there is an airport there that can land more than a small Cessna... but there is definately a Steamboat dock down by the river. While you're in Eye-Oh-Way be sure to cob onto some Maytag Blue Cheese for the F-T drink Party... Great Cheese! Donno why but these posts make me think of that song "River City Iowa" and ya got big big trouble.... down by the pool hall... oh yea . Have a safe trip at any rate....
