How about 3:00pm on Monday, April 16th at the Fortuna cafe at LVH (adjoining the convention center)?

Well done, Walter.

I’m in.

I’ll try to arrive at 2:45 and secure table space.

Hope to see lots of you there.

Hope the facility doesn’t boom “O Fortuna” loudly all day long – that would make our get-together WAY too dramatic. ; )

You’ll all be able to recognize Bill. He’ll be the guy grinning whilst zipping with ease through client videos on his laptop with FCPX. I’ll be the guy next to him, straining to stand up straight with a monster sizzle core workstation strapped to my back.

If all else fails, I’m sure we can recognize each other by our dashing good looks from our forum avatars.

I’d suggest that anybody interested in showing up could informally RSVP here or keep subscribed to this thread in case there are any last-minute changes.

Thanks, all, and I do look forward to meeting you!

That’s a perfect place, and if I’m going to be there it’s going to be early in the week. I’ll let you know for sure. And thanks Bill for volunteering to be the advance guard.

Happy to help.

I actually don’t arrive in Vegas until noon Monday – so depending on check in and the shuttle/cab/monorail situation, I’m hoping that 3 hrs is enough – it should be fine.

Now all I need is Craig to show up for moral support. Craig? Dude? are you going to be at NAB?

I know a lot of folks at PetSmart in the Corporate headquarters. I can probably score some free cat toys for you. Just sayin’

Sadly there’s just no way I’m going to get there on Monday (maybe not at all.) I’ll be sorry to miss it. Have fun and please solve all our problems. Thanks.

Having fun is easy in Las Vegas Tim, but solving all the problems Apple has created is well beyond the scope of this group. 🙂

However, I do hear that the kind folks at Adobe have tried very hard to make “real” FCP users more happy and more secure.

And, for those wondering what constitutes a “real” FCP user in my opinion, I mean those who use and demand non-magnetic timelines, a Viewer and a Canvas, and XML (not FCPXML). 🙂

Okay, let the flaming begin… 🙂

I’m devastated – I’m clearly not a “real” FCP user!
