And I should add, this event is not an Apple sponsored event so if anything goes wrong it is our fault, not Apples.

The reason we are leaving Stardust to go to the Rio is because of all the problems we had last year with AV etc. Yes, it was quite bad and was unfortunately beyond our control. I’m not making an excuse here, but you didn’t see what happened back stage. It wasn’t pretty. So we vowed never to go back and we wont. They are tearing the place down anyway and good riddance to it.
This year we are spending, thanks to our generous sponsors, 3 times as much money as years past to enhance the audio and visual experience. No guarantees that all will work but we are trying our best. We’ve hired a professional AV team to make sure all works well thus bypassing the Hotels AV dept.
As far as food goes, it is Hotel food. What can I say. If we had another 10K to spend on food it would just be MORE Hotel food, not better.
This year much of the show will be given over to User Show and Tells with demos by AJA, JVC, and Blackmagic Design in between. Theme of the show will be “What are you doing with Final Cut Studio” and we hope to answer that question.
I can’t guarantee you will have a better time this year Lance as it sounds like you’ve made up your mind about us. All of us who work on this show just do the best we can to make sure all goes smooth. Not much more we can do than that.
And yes we are limiting raffle ticket sales this year due to the enormity of the prize list.

Apple has an event on Tuesday for the Pro Trainers but don’t know anything about a Monday event. Its looking like we are the only game in town if you want to get up close and personal with the Pro-apps team. They will all be there Wednesday Night. Plus there will be ample time to give feedback and ask questions.

It is official. There is no Sunday Apple event this year. If you want to get up close and personal with the FCS team then make it over to the FCPUG SuperMeet, at the Rio, April 26. Now with over $49,000.00 worth of raffle prizes and this doesn’t include bottles of Vodka

You’ll just have to make it to our event Torv. Getting to LV early on a Sunday means you can now do a little sight seeing and relax before the big happenings of the week.

Actually the deal on the DVDs is this. If and only if our volunteer shooters show up do we have a chance to tape the meeting. Then we need to edit it, taking out all the ducks flying around and any footage we cant get rights too. Then we got to burn the DVDs and then only a few people buy them making them really not worthwhile to do in the first place. Thats why we’ve missed several months in the last year. They are a major pain in the butt and never profitable. Hard enough just to get Shane to shave.
