Paul, that WOULD be a good way to go! Unfortunately, I run a dedicated account. While my route DOES run up to Boston, even if BL&S called my company and specifically requested me, the load planners would send whoever happened to be in the area on OTR freight. Louis, so you're off again on Showest? I heard you were at UDITOA this year. I'd like to get back down there for that again, it was lots of fun the time I went. I was at their second convention (as their first ever guest speaker ) several years ago, but they didn't have any kind of official trade presentations then.  |  IP: Logged Paul Mayer Oh get out of it Melvin, before it pulls you under!

A real "Martini" will change your taste's forever. P.S. It's all in the garnish.............  |  IP: Logged Paul Goulet Master Film Handler Posts: 347 From: Rhode Island Registered: Jan 2000 posted 03-17-2006 01:49 PM                        quote: Bob Maar Rachel, That is only because you have never had one mixed properly.

Speaking of MELLO YELLO, any in the Vegas area?  |  IP: Logged Jim Bedford Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 597 From: Telluride, CO, USA (733 mi.

Best ever view at a Film-Tech Drink and it wasn't a bad show out the window either! Where else can you see the NY skyline lurking just behind the Eiffel Tower with the Bellaggio fountains in between?  |  IP: Logged Mike Heenan Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1896 From: Scottsdale, AZ, USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 03-17-2006 05:30 PM                     Sausage Fest = No girls/women.  |  IP: Logged Steve Guttag We forgot the crackers Gromit!!!

I think I saw him cry when the Gin ran out.  |  IP: Logged Bob Maar (Maar stands for Maartini) Posts: 28608 From: New York City & Newport, RI Registered: Feb 2001 posted 03-17-2006 08:06 PM                        Yes, I cry a lot, but someone above gave me a "Red Pen", kinda made my day.  |  IP: Logged Phil Hill I love my cootie bug Posts: 7595 From: Hollywood, CA USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 03-18-2006 04:28 AM                  quote: Mikey So is this year turning out to be as big a sausage fest as the previous years? Not that *I* would ever think of such things or "goings on" in this year's or a previous ShoWest event let alone lower myself to take a pic of such activities...

Just thought you might want to know that.  |  IP: Logged Louis Bornwasser Film God Posts: 4441 From: prospect ky usa Registered: Mar 2005 posted 03-18-2006 08:52 AM                        Glad you guys had a good time. I stayed behind and worked, keeping all of this "obsolete" film equipment going. Louis  |  IP: Logged Paul Mayer Oh get out of it Melvin, before it pulls you under!

As for obsolescence, I overheard at least one tale of yet another botched digital presentation at this year's ShoWest. We drank to the continued public incompetence of the digitards.  |  IP: Logged
