As usual we will be gathering at Bally's Wednesday evening after the trade show. We are looking at a 7:00 start and it will go until it is over (or when Ian gets plastered). We won't know the room number until about noon on Wednesday, so stop by the Jack Roe USA booth sometime between noon and 5:00 to find out the location.

Tuesday night we will be doing our usual informal run to Quarks. Email me directly if you will be around and would like to come.

I hope everyone has a good time. Now that I have moved to the east coast, Show West is out of the question for me. See you all at Show East!

It has begun. I and other coworkers have started working shifts for ShoWest. I will be handing out the goodie bags this Monday between 2pm and 8pm near registration if you want to stop and say hi.

Maybe this year will be the year I go to the Film-Tech Drink. I just never seem to have the time.

Leaving for Las Vegas bright and early Monday. Should be all checked-in by mid afternoon. Hope to see Chris and others when I pick up my registration badge. [Cool]

I'm presenting the Inter-Society Ken Mason award to Mary Ann Grasso-Anderson, Executive Director of NATO, at the Tuesday breakfast.

Inter-Society Committee for the Enhancement of Cinema Presentation meets Wednesday at 9:00am. Ted Costas takes over as President as my 2-year term expires. David Tuckerman of New Line Cinema replaces Ted as the Secretary-Treasurer.

Cyan Dye Track Committee Thursday at 7:00am, followed by the SMPTE Theatrical Projection committee meeting chaired by Pat Moore.

Just now leaving the house, I should get into vegas in about 6 hours. See everyone tonight!

Maybe one of the Film-Techers attending the drink could bring a laptop and leave it logged onto Film-Tech in the corner of the room with a webcam & live streaming video for all of the other members who are unfortunate enough to be elsewhere tonight. Possibly ??

Hope you guys have a good time!!

Nobody loves me enough to whisk me away to Vegas [Frown]

Have fun, all! Drink one for me! [beer]

And PS, don't do anything I would. [Razz]

Yet again, due to circumstances beyond my control, I have missed the Film-Tech Drink. These same circumstances have even prevented me from even making most of the ShoWest events including the trade show. DAMN DAMN DAMN. [Mad] I will, however, make the awards banquet which is always fun for me.

Anyhoo, those that made the drink...drink an extra one for me.

Drink night was alot of fun this year and I definately ate way too much vintage Guttag cheese. Many funny stories were told by those attending that you normally wouldn't see posted here. Perhaps those that couldn't attend this year can make it next year.

My plans to attend were sidetracked by my ex wife and her current husband punching each other in the face a few times and my getting temporary custardy of my daughter.

Damn drunks.

So next year when things calm down and I am governor of utah, I will show up.

O wait, I decided not to run this time around, mainly because I am a lame ass. That and I couldn't get a firm commitment from Joe Redifer to be my campaign spokesperson.

We really should start planning for this thing early, like right now. Start a fund for those that are too poor (all of us) to attend. Or at least make large blow up pictures of those that wanted to go, but are too lame to go (me).

Ciao

It was a pleasure to meet everybody in person.

And it was even more fun helping Brad construct the Guttag cheese shrine.

I hope I can attend next year and meet everybody who missed out this year.

Had a great time meeting all who attended.
Thanks Brad for a fun 5 hours of drink and chit chat.
Hope I can make it again.

Personally, I found the whole thing rather tiresome.

Nobody seemed to notice that I was even there.

Yeah, I agree Manny... Nobody noticed me either... Thank God, we had each other....

Dave,
Family squabbles are an even better reason to get out of town and head to Vegas..... You could ahve taken her on the Roller Coaster and there was plenty of Coke at the Film-Tech drink night that she would have had access to. There were actually quite a few kids attending Showorst this year with their parents! More than I've seen in past years. Vegas in itself is also becomming more of a family visitable place.

It was a nice group but no one looks like their picture....except Josh since there are 300 photos on the net to compare...John Ptlak really does have cap code marks on his forehead [Wink] ( mark of the film "beast" ? ). Ray Derrick has lost his mustache flying in from Australia. Dan Lyon is smaller than his photo but anyone who likes ( or endures ) a Pro-35 is big in my book. Aaron was a very capable bartender and Mark a capable bar patron. Jim from the Nugget Cinema was great to talk to directly since we have had done some business in the past. Adam, Mike, Scott D. Neff, The group from Jack Roe, and countless others....nice group [Smile] The cheese display ( Mount Guttag ) was impressive [Cool] No Phil or Manny but there where rumours that they found a pirate's hat and some left over pasta in one of the bathrooms; some stolen bed sheets and reports came in about their performances at the Ceasar's shopping Mall and the Apollo that evening......I had a good time, where else can you drop a drink on the floor when you knew you are past your limit [beer]

Basically in the entire world outside the US and probably Singapore.

Richard ... we've all been taking Manny's class on how to look like completely different people every time we have our pictures taken.
 
Posted by Scott Norwood (Member # 30) on 03-27-2004, 04:11 PM:
 
I haven't seen a single picture of Manny that looks like he does in real life.

Adam's current picture isn't bad.

Brad's current picture scares me.

So where are the showest pics?

Richard, You forgot to mention about Ian licking Brads wide angle attachment.... [Razz] Certainly this feat deserves a new Ian Graemlin!!

Mark
 
Posted by Richard Fowler (Member # 893) on 03-27-2004, 04:19 PM:
 
Ian was brushing Brad's attachment with his goatee.... he did not want to get cheese vapors on the glass [Wink] Adams new 3/4 profile looks like part of a layout in Details magazine [Smile] Brad's new picture conveys the serious nature of Film-Guarding the world during these critical times [thumbsup]

Maybe next year I will drag her along. I never even thought about that idea! Then again, the brain damage. [Mad]

It was good to see everyone again as well as the new faces.

Possibly more important than everything else at the show, all of the Scott video footage turned out fine and dandy. Coffee anyone? [Big Grin]

Thanks for the reminder, Adam. Tuition fees are now past due. [Wink]

Those sheets were not stolen; it became necessary to burn them! [Eek!]

"Then again, the brain damage."

Dave,
A few rides on that coaster and you'll forget you have brain damage [thumbsup] . Next year you MUST attend!

I had an incredible amount of fun hanging out with everyone at ShoWest this year, and I'm looking forward to hopefully seeing all of you again next year.

Richard, in regards to not looking like your picture, you're easily as guilty as anyone else. [Big Grin]
 
Posted by Mark Gulbrandsen (Member # 72) on 03-27-2004, 09:14 PM:
 
Ok...... Richard just has that moustache on that he got from attending Manny's school of disguise [Cool] .

Mark

And to think that Brad kept making fun of my scarf. [Razz]
 
Posted by Richard Fowler (Member # 893) on 03-28-2004, 02:16 AM:
 
Groucho Marx's mustache was the only one in Manny's box...now if I could find Ray Derrick's mustache that he lost on his trip to Vegas [Big Grin]
 
Posted by Rachel Gilardi (Member # 1016) on 03-28-2004, 09:49 AM:
 
I wanna go next time *sniffle sniffle*. [Razz]

You're right...he had me baffled and I didn't even recognize him.
