I think I can go and would like to go but I can't quite justify it, so maybe next year. I would like to meet the folks at Beachtek but I got word that they aren't going to NAB '06.

I would like to see Sony's booth this year, but if I can request that someone take a few photos for me, that would be very appreciated.

Well, I decided to go to NAB! Couldn't pass up a trip to meet so many of the nice people on this forum. Besides, I haven't been to Vegas in many many years. Do they have a place at the Convention center where you can lock-up your credit cards before entering?!?!?!?!?

Many thanks to the folks at Quantel for the code.

We will have to figure a place to meet up while there. Did you set anything up yet Chris?


See you soon,

Mike

There's that, and another matter of importance: Greg, how's it going with the airlines and that keg? Need help? ;)

That's good news Mike, we'll see you there!

I figured at some point we'd all be over at the RED booth! =D

I know I'll be there Monday morning first thing.

I just convinced work to pay (well, reimburse me) for my hotel, ticket, and classes for the Post/Production Conference. I plan on being there the whole time. I'm actually looking forward to the classes. I can tell you that trying to find a place with 6 days of consecutive rooms is next to impossible right now -- unless you want to pay an arm and a leg. Even the non-conference hotels (and some of the motels!) are already $225+ a night. I lucked out with Harrah's -- the hotel casinos seem cheaper than the non-casino hotels. I need to start researching cheap eats. This will be my first time in Vegas, if you don't count the time I drove through on a Greyhound bus.

And yeah, I'll be hunting down the RED booth too. I have a feeling that's gonna be crowded.

I'm also thinking of hitting the Red booth first thing Monday morning. I had earlier proposed the cafeteria near the North Hall as an impromptu morning meetup, perhaps in the hour before the show floor opens.

But Red has changed my mind. I think I may need to go there first, otherwise I won't be able to think about anything else. How about we all meet for breakfast at the South Hall cafeteria?

I'm getting there the Friday before to see some of the Vegas sites. I buy a lot of home theater stuff from Tweeter and they said I should check out their concept store. I heard the Apple store was pretty good too.

I lucked out and got a room at the Frontier for 49.95 a nite through vegas.com, cost me 10 bucks in fees, but I'm saving enough I can take a cab to the convetion each day (3 miles away).

I actually got good air prices on Ted (United) booking through Yahoo travel online.

I don't post here often but since I'm also going to NAB I thought I'd chime in. I'm arriving on Tuesday the 25th. If there are any get togethers please post here. I'd enjoy meeting some of you.

Make sure you hit the ProMax event Tuesday night at the Stardust and the FCPUG event at the Rio Wednesday night. Lots of folks from this forum will be there

Well, I'll be there.

We have a few stories to shoot while out there but I'm setting aside as much time as possible to attend seminars and walk the floor.

Hope to meet some of you out there.

NAB J&R is the rental place
 

Should you need anything. and if I can help I will try my best

Have fun..

Thanks, Richard!

I was wrong, not the fremont hotel, the El Cortez near Fremont street.
No internet access in room, but I have Verizon Wireless Broadband for my Laptop, so I can connect anywhere. Las Vegas is covered.

Question...are any sort of camera or camcorders allowed in? I would love to get video of cool stuff and upload for people to see.
