The press
folks from New Zealand were very helpful to me this morning and let
me test the site out on their notebook.
|
 |
|
A fellow
artist showing his wares. Very nice works and he is spending time talking
to people about them too.
|
 |
|
A Mascot
for something. I bet that marketing person isn't happy I can't remember
what he is for.
|
 |
|
The lego
art booth is getting fun. This example has red, blue, yellow, and black.
I really need to see more of this.
|
|
|
They have
these stands were I can beam the show info to my handheld. I didn't
get it to work though.
|
 |
|
People waiting
in line to use the computers. They even have a company renting them
if you need one.
|
 |
|
The infamous
message board where as yet no one has sent me a message,
|
 |
| Look its Ken Baer from Hash Animation. Boy does he have some deals for me. Seriously they have an educators program that is really worth looking into. We bumped into his computer graphics prof from Oberlin in Ohio. |
|
|
So Ken snuck
me on the floor so I could talk to Martin about life and also about
the wonderful word of Animation Master.
|
|
|
Stands for
itself.
|
 |
|
Jim Kilmer
and friend. Jim is really working like a dog this yet.
|
 |
|
Highlight
of my day. The press gets free pop in the media lounge. They normally
charge $2.50 a can. The brownies were good too,
|
 |
|
A cute duck
family. We met them on the way to the Discreet press event.
|
 |
| How can you be Discreeet and still advertise with the bid signs? Anyways the talk was good, beta 6 is about to be released. They also have a new logo. |
|
|
A very nice
lady from the Art Institute.
|
 |
|
Another nice
lady from 2 English CG publications.
|
 |
|
The chapters
part was after at the club called "On Broadway" It was enormous.
Like 5 clubs in one club. Very fun.
|
 |
|
The pool
room, and the bubble room, and the bank vault.
|
|
|
The band
didn't have a name, I dubbed them the first timers since this was their
first time together.
|
 |
|
The theme
rooms were amazing. Look at the details on the floor.
|
 |
|
Arrays of
tables.
|
 |
|
The dance
floor. It is early yet.
|
 |
|
More private
areas in the book.
|
 |
|
I met this
guy from the Kennedy Space Center. He had a ton of pins on. I missed
getting many over the years.
|
 |
|
I met some
people from The Netherlands. Got to reminisce a bit. They sell Haptic
devices I need to check out tomorrow.
|
 |
|
Some German
friends of mine I met last year.
|
 |
| Just look at those teeth. They are custom fit. Very scary. This is the same woman with the tennis balls on ropes from yesterday. |  |
|
The sever
bought me a Sprite cause the bartender was being sarcastic to me.
|
 |
|
He was blinking
on purpose during the picture so his eyes would be clear. Doesn't he
look like Bono from U2?
|
 |
|
I don't know
who these people are. One of them is from Cleveland but not anymore.
|
 |
|
Last year
he was looking for work, this year he is employed at Sony and even has
his name in the credits of the Matrix. Way to go!
|
 |
|
The dance
floor was hopping!
|
|
|
No joke,
this, guys name is Tony Montana. And no he didn't show me his little
friend.
|
 |
|
Genevieve
and Jim. Swaying to the music (but not when I took the picture).
|
 |
|
Who is this
man? Why does he have a halo?
|
 |
|
And finally
I bumped into Brandon Bruce. He is doing well but we have more to catch
up on.
