|
|
All, I am posting this on behalf of William. Come one, come all!!!
Good food, good drink, good company, good times!!!!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ladies and Gentlemen;
Last spring, on about May 8th, I posted the following:
| Quote: | Mike has already spilled the beans, so I will amplify a little. I feel badly that we were not completely done with installation and setup before the Meet started. That had been the original intent. I would like to make it up to everyone who came, by offering to host another East Coast BlendZilla Meet, in like October, say the 20th/21st. Picture in your mind's eye driving down the driveway with the 20 Norwegian maples in full bloom, a dazzling display of every hue imaginable from red to orange to yellow, on the way to a fully optimized twin Electrohome Extreme BlendZilla setup, projecting (from source to screen) only 1080P/72 native, via either HD DVD or Bluray. Mike standing on the side, beaming at his babies. Ken already having finished his work, able to sit there and simply enjoy the result. Clarence challenging the rig with the nastiest, most difficult to correctly process clips he can find, and the rig properly responding with ease. Mark challenging everything. Cliffy challenging everyone (and playing his favorite scene from Crank). Don's cooking hanging in the cool crisp autumn air.
The Mars orbiter aeronomy mission proposal I have been working on for more than 2 years is due to NASA on October 19. The 20th seems like a good day to start a party................ |
Mike Parker/John Barnes/William Kosmann/Don Wallace/Bill Belcher Productions would like to officially announce the
East Coast BlendZilla Meet, Part Deux.
The Meet will be on October 20th, Saturday, from about 1:00 PM until Cliffy and Clarence go to bed. Featured will be a 12 foot wide version of the image that Mike puts out on his lowly lowly 8" Marquee AC. Don has agreed to again provide barbeque (the details of which are his choice) and I will supply Dominion Pale Ale on tap to wash it down. Please post in this thread if you would like to come. The first 15 attendees are:
Mike Parker and Patrice
John Barnes and SO
Don Wallace and his wife whose name I forgot
Bill Belcher and Teresa
William Kosmann and Cheryl
Cliffy
Ashley the dog (who is not Cliffy's date)
Clarence
Arli (Bomrat), to keep Cliffy attended
Sokoloff
I will not limit attendance, as I have plenty of room for cars and visitors.
William
PS: I have been paying attention, Cliffy.

Damn Cliff; there you go making me feel really f'ing old again! I only know of 1 and that is in Leesburg. Divas I think it's called.
Never been there, but, once you seen 1 set of t*ts, well, you want to see all of 'em!! 
Maybe Clarence being younger than me knows of some.
If we go, I aint driving!!
Limo?? 
Is Don K. going to be joining the party?

That's a good question. My guess is Don is wrapped up with a new baby and the wife would probably rip him a new ******* so no.
I however will be there and love boobs. :^)
As long as they are not MAN BOOBS.

Hi all,
I am pretty new to CRT projection and would love to see a really nice setup. With such a big family, and so much going on on weekends, I am not positive I can make it, but the boss (wife) said i could go. So I would very much like to attend if possible. How can I get directions?
Thanks
John Page

OK, I just spoke to the "blend masters" (william and mp), and their comment was, "This is the BEST picture they have ever seen"; bar none!
I'll guess I'll need to clean my glasses..
Oh yea, I asked about the blend zone. They said "What fricking blend zone! We don't see no stinking blend zone!"
