Beer?

I think it's a great idea to get to meet some of the DVI folks.

Chris -I ended up getting a room at Circus Circus. Reasonably cheap ($54) and I'm only in town for a couple nites.

See you guys at Entertainment Technology World (http://www.ent-techworld.com) on June 27-28, downtown Los Angeles at the LACC. I'll be at the Canon booth... please drop by and say howdy!

Mizell Wilson of ZGC will be in the Canon Booth at "ET World" as well to meet and greet and show off the P+S Technik Mini35Digital adapter for the XL1/XL1S.

Have a great time there everyone!

Howdy from Texas,

Looking forward to meeting those of you attending DV Expo East (http://www.dvexpo.com/east/) later this week, July 9-10-11 in New York City. Please drop by the Canon booth and find me, and say hello! See you there,

In addition to seeing Chris Hurd at DV Expo East, you will also find Mizell Wilson of ZGC manning the Mini35Digital adapter section of the Canon booth #211.

Christine Brnic of ZGC will be over at the Sony Booth #301 showing the Mini35Digital adapter for the PD150 and VX2000.

It promises to be a very good show!

Anybody in the NYC attending "The Show Formerly Known as MacWorld," please drop by the Canon booth and say hello, it would be great to meet you (as usual)!

Hey Chris,
It would be great to network with individuals with DV experience. What is the RES fest about? I am interested in attending the one in Chicago since it is DV related.

Thanks.

Chris, I assume you wear a cowboy hat at all times? Would that be a good way to identify you?

Curtis

Cowboy hats don't look good on me. Instead, I rely on a good old-fashioned name tag, which is required attire at these events anyway. Somebody trying to find me can go to whatever booth I'm working at any particular event and say, "can you point me to Chris Hurd," and they'll say "oh, that guy again? sure," and that's usually all it takes. Hope this helps,

WEVA is about a month away. Any one heading to Vegas?

I'm thinking I'll be there. See ya at Bally's,

I will be goiing to the IBC today and hope to see you there!! (monday)

greetings

David

Too bad I didn't read this before I went to IBC... We could have
meet there. Next year then? :)

seems like a good idea to me rob.. It was one heck of a show don't you think? The new tapeless formats from Sony and Panasonic. The hard disc options from JVC and Ikegami. Also some new Minidv stuff including the small autoque manufactured by Optex.
I really enjoyed it and I hope you did.
David

It was very nice indeed. We've seen very much digital cinema
there which was great. We also saw quite a few demos of
products, went to a free seminar as well. I even ran around
with a steadicam which was demanding beyond believe.

I was there saturday through monday though. Great time was
had by all!

I even went to a special presentation in the digital cinema
area where a hollywood DP (the guy that DP-ed Stuart Little 2)
talked which was quite interesting. I asked him what he thought
about shooting digital which he didn't really liked me asking
I think.... Heh.

Oh I also almost asked one of the tech guys in the digital
cinema to pop in my DVD version of my Lady X episode so
I could see it at a large screen... I chickened out though

I tried the steadicam pro and also the one with the Xl1s on it...I preferred the last one because of the weight!! No matter what those operators tell you..it can seriously hurt your back. I met Mister Steadicam himself Garret Brown. A friend of mine was actually doing the show for TIffen (steadicam ownners)
The mac's were impressive and so is final cut pro 4...still hoping to get my copy of that... your more of a pc man yourself right?
I guess i got hooked and i want to change but i keep buying mac's !

Yeah, I'm a PC guy. But that mainly established itself through
my professions (programming). I'm so versatile with the PC and
can exploit any part of it basically that it won't be likely I'll ever
switch. But that's basically stick with what you know and works :)

I have switched from Premiere to Vegas though.

Find me at the Canon booth and say howdy during ShowBiz Expo / Entertainment Technology World convening at the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center in Chicago on Friday Nov. 7th 12pm to 6pm and Saturday Nov. 8th 11am to 5pm. Registration required but the entire event is free. Lots going on. Hope to see you there!

Howdy from Texas,

I'm pretty bummed out because at the last minute I had to cancel my plans to attend Govt. Video Expo (http://www.gvexpo.com/) in Washington, D.C. on Dec. 3rd & 4th. I was really looking forward to this as a lot of you guys are going to be there and I always look forward to meeting folks and getting together over a beer or two.

However, plans are firm, and airline tickets have been purchased, and it's all set in stone, for my trip out to Los Angeles for DV Expo West (http://www.dvexpo.com/west/) on Dec. 10th through 12th. So if any of y'all are planning on being there, please stop by the Canon booth where I'll be working, and say howdy. There's always a good party or two at this event -- the DV Magazine staff usually have their little soiree, and it'll be great to see that gang again. There's usually a Canopus party, nothing like hanging out with former co-workers so I'll definitely be at that one if it's going on. Whether we hook up on the show floor, or at one of the evening events, I'm hoping to see you there!

I'm registerd already for teh DVExpo, but Decemer always seems to be teh most difficult month to get away.

Chris do you ever get to the CES in Vegas? I'm supposed to head to that as well, but I guess I need to see how DEcember ends up before I know for sure.

Hi Mark,

CES in Vegas and MacWorld in San Francisco are two shows that run during the same week in early January. For the past couple of years, I've been going to MacWorld (because San Francisco is such a beautiful, interesting city and because I'm already in Vegas five other times during the year). However this time I might go to CES since I haven't done that show in awhile. As soon as I know which one it's going to be, I'll post it right here.

Getting ready to drive to Vegas... wooo hooo. Not sure what to expect. Never been to the CES before. Lots of vendors selling the latest cool stuff cheap? A guy can dream can't he?/?

Cleveland will host one of the Videomaker Expos in March this year. Anyone coming into town for that is invited to come explore the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame--on me!

From January 8th through the 11th, anyone attending the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, please drop by the Canon booth and say hello -- it's always great to meet folks from the message boards!

For Mark, CES is not a selling show; nothing is for sale on the show floor. But it is the single biggest technology event of the year... all the latest electronics; lots to gawk at! It's a lot of fun. See you there!

For anyone attending VideoMaker Expo West in Burbank Jan. 22-24, please drop by the Canon booth and say howdy! See you there,

Chris what else is coming up over the next couple months other than NAB? I took a look at the calendar but nothing is listed.

The Mini35 Digital Image Converter will be at NAB in the Canon booth (#SU9649), the Panasonic booth (#C3811), the ZGC booth (#C10030) and in the P+S Technik booth (#C2158-6). Please come and check out the new 400 Series Mini35 firsthand!

No thread is ever old Steven. Thanks.

For anyone attending InfoComm in Atlanta next week (June 9-11), I'll be helping out at the Canon booth -- drop by and say hello!

So I guess you'll be the first one to play with the new XL2?

lol ;-)

I'll be attendiing - mainly the exhibits the 14, 15 or 16th. Anyone around?

I will be attending just to see the various booths, and hopefully, some of Jacob Rosenberg's Premiere Pro presentation. Just the 14th most likely. And maybe the 15th.

I'll be there. Canon wants to put me to work in their booth again. Drop by and say hello!

I'll be sure to drop by Chris. Can I return the text book you were so kind to lend me nearly a year ago?

Ozzie, I'll make sure to leave room for it in my bags. Thanks!
