Yes, the pens make the whole trip worthwhile, don't they. :)

But you didn't answer my early question, Edward. Will you be there???

I will be with him *under* the bar.

Lorinda... "Rats" is right. NAB in Vegas is always an educational and fun time. But it looks like April's gonna be nuts now that we're getting our fishing show back into production after a year-long involuntary hiatus. We got only one full-time cameraman: me. And one full-time editor: me.

So maybe it's an every other other year thing... :-)

Once we're back on our feet I'm hoping it'll be an annual pilgrimage. Assuming, of course, that all the other companies don't follow Avid and Apple and bail out of NAB.

Should that happen, Dean, DV Info Net folks will simply convene in Honolulu. I'm down for that.

Oooohhh….yeah…..I like the way you think. Sounds like a blast! We might find you *under* a tiki bar there? :)

“You just keep thinkin’, Butch. That’s what you’re good at.”

How about a dvinfo meet one night somewhere in Vegas?

With so much going on, nights are kinda hard to arrange... I was thinking about one big morning get-together for anybody who wants to drop by and say hello. Last year it was just me and Scott Anderson but the year before we had a pretty good crowd. South Hall cafeteria Monday morning? Or Wednesday? (Tuesday morning is out for me -- will be sleeping in).

Then there's always the FCP SuperMeet on Wednesday night...

I'll be there and at the VASST/Sony Creative Software Party ( for anyone who uses Vegas here ). My 3rd NAB this year and I've worked all 3 of them. One of these years I'll go just to go, but hey, when I work for someone I get paid to go, and I can usually still sneak off on the last day to see what I really wanted to get a look at :).

Dave

I'll vote for Wed. morn!

Put a “late” somewhere in that sentence and it’ll look a little better to me. :)

I'll vote for monday, I'm leaving on Wednesday.

Have to be Wednesday morning for me, I'm not coming until Tuesday.

(ain't this fun?)

Anyway, on Wednesday night I'll be holding up the wall next to the bar that Chris and Michael Horton are under.

I'll be there covering the expo for '16:9' magazine. Really looking forward to finally meeting some other DVinfoers. It'll be my first NAB and first time in Vegas... so I expect things are going to get interesting!

By the way, does anyone else have a certain topical Elvis song playing on loop in their head?

Hi Mark, certain topical Elvis songs play in loops in my head all day long. Only occasionally is one of them ever "Viva Las Vegas" unfortunately. At any rate, I'm up for doing the morning meet & greet at the South Hall cafeteria on both days, Monday and Wednesday, just to see everybody (telling ya now though, Tuesday morning will be a no-show for me).

Well this will be my 21st consecutive NAB....OMG I'm getting old ! :)

I vote for Tues...'cause I leave on Wed.....but would love to meet some of you folks. Here's hoping... !
