Author Topic: SHOWEST Film-Tech drink info (2007 info starts on pg 4) Phil Hill I love my cootie bug Posts: 7595 From: Hollywood, CA USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 03-11-2006 05:10 PM                  I will ONLY show up for the FT party so as to get some of Steve's cheese! Yeah, yeah, I know Mr. Maartini I owe you a cheap-ass burger diner, I will pay off when I see you at Robbie's Hotel Hell and Restaurant. Hugs!  |  IP: Logged Joshua Waaland Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 800 From: Cleveland, Ohio Registered: Dec 1999 posted 03-11-2006 10:46 PM                     You guys are making me jealous. I won't be able to go again this year. I am going to start planning for next year though.  |  IP: Logged Mike Olpin Chop Chop!

Posts: 3836 From: Albuquerque, NM Registered: Feb 2000 posted 03-12-2006 12:28 PM                        And The Olpinator makes it 10. For Phil's upcoming payoff to Boss Maar, may I suggest Schoop's? Inside the gas station at the corner of Las Vegas Blvd So and Richmar (south of both outlet malls across from Paradise Spa) the motto is, "Eat at Schoop's and get gas." From Indiana since 1948. Wow, that's before even Phil was born! For post F-T Drink hangover recovery (hint: lots o' grease) go for the local one-off ma & pa places. My favorite morning sun in your eyes pub crawls: Four Kegs, Kilroy's, Peppermill (short Deuce ride or crawl from Bally's), Tiffany's (inside White Cross Drugs at Oakey and The Strip), the diner inside Huntridge Drugs, the diner inside Decatur Drugs, or even the Hangover Hamburger at any PT's Pub. And for a long crawl there's The Coffee Cup in Boulder City. I sober-up there just before my first class. Or flight. Whatever. Most people here vote In-N-Out as the best 'Vegas burger but that's why I say there should be rules about who is allowed to vote. The masses are asses.  |  IP: Logged Phil Hill I love my cootie bug Posts: 7595 From: Hollywood, CA USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 03-12-2006 02:53 PM                  So Paul, is there a Pink's hotdog place there? I wanna hear Brad whine some more...  |  IP: Logged Monte L Fullmer Film God Posts: 8367 From: Nampa, Idaho, USA Registered: Nov 2004 posted 03-12-2006 03:01 PM                     Yea, Mark - been on that US 50 in NV to Great Basin NP. Lehman Caves is quite interesting, but that drive is something else. going to So. Utah. Yeppers, I-15 southbound..just like I-84 here in the Boise area - stay in a lane and just go with the flo-Monte  |  IP: Logged Paul Mayer Oh get out of it Melvin, before it pulls you under! Posts: 3836 From: Albuquerque, NM Registered: Feb 2000 posted 03-12-2006 11:34 PM                        Sadly, no Pink's that I know of, though there are decent hot dogs to be had here like Sabrett's... I will pick up the monorail tickets tomorrow while running to Fry's.  |  IP: Logged Paul Mayer Oh get out of it Melvin, before it pulls you under! Posts: 3836 From: Albuquerque, NM Registered: Feb 2000 posted 03-13-2006 06:12 PM                        Well, it turns out that the only way I could buy 20 monorail rides for a dollar each was on a single pass, not individual tickets. So, no deals to be had unless someone can find that on-line free ticket promotion at Vegas.com (I haven't been able to). My apologies to everyone about this.  |  IP: Logged Anslem Rayburn Master Film Handler Posts: 476 From: Yuma, AZ, USA Registered: May 2002 posted 03-13-2006 07:30 PM                     According to this link the free monorail program is only for those who book through Vegas.com. quote: VEGAS.com and the Las Vegas Monorail Company announced today an expansive partnership to promote ridership by offering free monorail tickets distributed at booths at each monorail station, good for one free ride for customers of VEGAS.com, LasVegas.com and www.espanol.vegas.com. The partnership to promote the Las Vegas Monorail to business and leisure travelers will introduce more visitors to the benefit of getting around the city faster and without the expense of taxis. The partnership includes two new VEGAS.com-themed monorail trains which will also be outfitted with video screens featuring The Vegas Minute, a syndicated weekly TV news program with updates on the city.  |  IP: Logged Mike Heenan Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1896 From: Scottsdale, AZ, USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 03-13-2006 08:20 PM                     It seems like the ideal thing would be just to walk... I like to walk the strip, and 1 mile isn't all that far unless you're really pressed for time. Besides, you'll get exercise and a chance to burn off the calories you'll be putting on at the drink.  |  IP: Logged Joseph L.

I still hold the record for the person with the longest time in the business who has NEVER been to Showest, and who could never be sent there by any of my employers! The closest I ever came was when I worked for F-T's Louis Bornwasser. Every year, Louis would treat a different employee and their spouse to the Showest trip... UNTIL it became my turn. That was the year he decided to STOP GOING! He eventually started going to Showest again... AFTER I'd already left for another gig! Always my luck. Long ago, I resigned myself to the fact that I will probably never see a tradeshow (and hang wid my FT buds). So, c'mon, guys. Hows about an EAST COAST DRINK!  |  IP: Logged Bill Gabel Film God Posts: 3873 From: Technicolor / Postworks NY, USA Registered: Jan 2002 posted 03-16-2006 11:18 AM                     Sounds like Party at Bob Maar's for those Famous Maartini's he has always talked about.  |  IP: Logged Paul Mayer Oh get out of it Melvin, before it pulls you under! Posts: 3836 From: Albuquerque, NM Registered: Feb 2000 posted 03-16-2006 12:17 PM                        Tim, ya just gotta get your rig to be the one that transports one of BL&S' big screen frames from Boston to 'Vegas. You can fit the truss pieces for a 65'-wide Hurley in there right? Finally got to meet Bob in person this year. And last night he showed several of us the technique for making a Maartini. Mmmmmm, Maartinis...  |  IP: Logged
