  • FCPX or Not — mini-meetup at NAB?

    Posted by Walter Soyka on April 4, 2012 at 7:55 pm

    Any NAB-goers from this forum interested in meeting up?

    With all the evening events dominating people’s schedules, perhaps a morning or afternoon get together might be easier (unless perhaps everyone is going to MMB or SuperMeet).

    Any takers for coffee on Tuesday or Wednesday?

    I will certainly be at the Supermeet and hope that many of you will come up and find the tall guy (I’m 6’5″) and introduce yourselves! Always happy to chat if you’ve got questions.

    Since the very first Supermeet, (and actually, some of the initial meetings of the LAFCPUG before that) I’ve historically helped with the “behind the scenes” aspects of the meetings as well as the endless zillion dollar raffles that are a big part of them.

    So while I’ll be certainly be there – I’m not going to have too much time at the event itself for quality “talk time.”

    So I’d personally prefer Walter’s idea of a dedicated meet-up.

    How about Monday late afternoon – or Wed lunchtime?

    I am still in the process of scheduling an upcoming job and trying to figure out if I can actually go to the show. But if I’m able to get there then I’d very much enjoy the opportunity to meet and discuss the state of things.

    I’m in. I arrive Saturday Morning. I am attending the opening session Monday morning but I can be flexible with whatever you guys work out.

    Glad to hang with anyone from the “herd” and talk shop.

    I wish I could Walter, that would be awesome.

    I can’t wait to hear all your updates from out there.

    Just saw Walter’s post suggesting that I “guide” this.

    HA!

    Still, as a veteran of probably the past 20+ NABs I guess I’m as qualified as the next guy.

    So here’s where I think we are.

    I like Walter’s idea of something early. That way we don’t conflict with the NAB evening social whirl.

    I think it would be nice if we can find a locale thats less then four football fields distant from the nearest Monorail station. Which, now that I think about it, surprisingly leaves out about 80% of the hotels and explains why so many at the show are in business suits and tennis shoes – but I digress.

    I’ll even volunteer to show up a bit early to block out some seats somewhere.
    (I’m not 6’5 like Denis, but he’s only got 3 inches on me, so I can probably hold a few chairs against the coffee starved multitudes ’til the stragglers show up.)

    Anyone here know Vegas well enough to know if there’s a good place where could score space for a small group before the show that doesn’t require a dedicated cab ride?

    If anyone from Apple tries to hijack this meet-up of yours, don’t let them… 😉
