That's a great pic, but I was only able to get there after eliminating the spaces in the link. I think if you edit the post and eliminate the spaces, the link should be clickable. Perhaps you just tried to insert the image into the post, but it isn't working because of the length of the url. Perhaps eliminating the spaces would helpthat way, too.

Rule #1 Thou shalt not upload any filename that has a space in it.

Rule #2 Thou shalt never, ever, ever upload an image larger than 550 pixels.

Rule #3 Thou shalt always double check their own post whenever they use the upload feature before leaving the site and when in doubt, re-read the upload instruction page.

Anyway, I fixed it. That picture is going to get people wondering about the evening. When is storytime?

But Brad, large format people are used to huge images.

I'm gonna start saving my loose change now ... next year's conference is in Glasgow!

In the words of The Beautiful South track "Old Redeyes is Back"

Rule #4 Thou shalt not rub the salt in the wound by posting pics of drunken fun at GSTA whilst thy large format colleagues remain behind running the shows

Seriously you guys have a great time out there in my spiritual home.

Gord

How long did it take before the people from Sheridan Park tried to strangle you with that Iwerks lanyard?

Jan

I hope Gordon didn't make you drink Tetley's
And why are you wearing a sweater ? Toronto is sub tropical at this time of year!

Adam

I think you have been out in the Californian sun too long, all the colour has bleached out of you

Any place North of New Mexico is sweater weather.....but actually I am surprised by the North Toronto air.

Gordon is every bit the film god he pretends to be.......and he almost can keep up with me on those large format beer mugs..

and I do feel for yu guys and gals in the booth especially I felt for the guy in the booth whose IMAX took a dump 10 min into the screening with a house full of large format professionals....it was sad....I wanted to run into the booth and hug the guy but Imax corp heads were jamming the booth door........sorry who ever yu were.

I don't know what beer Gordon is serving me but he doth know his Pub variety. (Gordon is really quite cute)

The beer in question was Rickards Red a local brew that is gaining much popularity
Well tonight is our turn to have stuff crash (hopefully not) as tonight is our theatres turn to host and we have Momentum at 48fps to end the night off

Jan,
Be sure to get a shot of yourself in front of Imax machine #1 holding the sign that says its the 1st machine. Good for your scrapbook, or you could find a mountain side and make it into a petroglyph!

Gordon may wish to dispute this but #1 is like the proverbial woodman's axe that's been in the family for generations.

It's had 10 new heads and 12 new handles but it's still the same axe!

I hear if you want a photo next to the real #1 you need sub aqua gear and a desire to plunge into Lake Ontario!
