Ok, I’ll start this thread.

Who’s going to ShoWest?

Ky and I will be there Monday March 5th through Thursday March 8th. We will be staying at the Bourbon Street Inn as we did last year. Once again I invite you all to the ShoWest/Film-Tech drink. We should pick a time early in the evening just after the trade show ends to meet and merry. Usually Tuesday or Wednesday is good. We will just have to discuss it here.

The ShoWest web address is http://www.showest.com/

There is a schedule of events on the website. Some events you can get into with a trade show guest pass but most events you would need a full pass which can cost as much as $700. Many films the public can buy tickets for after the pass holders have had a shot at the; Especially the screenings at the Century Theatre.

I recommend you stay at an inexpensive hotel like the Bourbon Street, which is directly across Flamingo Ave from Bally’s/Paris where the convention is held. You can ask one of your friends who works for someone who is exhibiting on the trade show floor if they can get you a guest pass. You may have to reimburse them the cost of the guest pass. Last year, I believe it was $75. This is a time-honored way to see the trade show without ponying up $700.

We hope to see many more Film-Tech people at ShoWest this year and hopefully our fearless leader, Brad Miller.

I am planning on attending SHOWEST this year, along with John Pytlak.
We will be discussing this event as soon as John gets back from the ITEA conference in LA.

I'm the "new guy". I'll be staying here to man the fort while everybody else goes.

Okay, actually I went home for Christmas and my boss covered my theatres for me. In order to pay him back, I'm covering for him when he goes to Vegas.

I hope somebody will take pictures and stuff and post them. At least that way, those of us that didn't go can have a "Virual Sho-West".

Yo Davie!

Sure wish I could join you and the BL&S guys again. Ainiku, I'll be in this cubicle doing software stuff instead of projection stuff. Have a pint for me will you?

Will I be there? Who knows. The date is conflicting with my move (just like last year) and will be interfering with 2 installation jobs. It just all depends on if I can maneuver things a few days to get away.

Of course the best part is only one person that will be attending knows what I look like (and that person knows better than to spoil the fun).

Nope! Haven't had my fun at ShoWest yet. Besides, I made a deal that I would post mine when half of the members sent in theirs. It's been working pretty good so far, but we're not there yet.

It's time to plan for the ShoWest Drink. John Pytlak, Mark Delettera, Aaron Siesmore, Ky Boyd and I were all there last year. I hope to meet many more of you this year.

John, what about Wednesday, March 7th, after the trade show?
