Author Topic: ShoWest Monday Film-Techer gathering Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 02-24-2003 07:42 PM                     Please reply here if you will be in Vegas on Monday and would like to get together with other Techers. We are going to go to Quarks for dinner and (hopefully) tour theaters around town. We need to make reservations with Quarks and theater managers though, so please RSVP here no later than Thursday night if all possible. If you will have a car, please note that too.  |  IP: Logged Paul G.

I have a car, but I will not be using it during the convention.  |  IP: Logged Aaron Sisemore Flaming Ribs beat Reeses Peanut Butter Cups any day!

(with a car) For those who aren't familiar with Quark's, it is the restaurant portion of Star Trek: The Experience at the Las Vegas Hilton. It comes HIGHLY recommended, even if you aren't a big Trek fan. It is a one-of-a-kind experience! -Aaron  |  IP: Logged Christopher Seo Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 530 From: Los Angeles, CA Registered: Jun 99 posted 02-25-2003 02:08 AM                     I'll be there on Monday and definitely would like to tag along. I've got a car and can certainly give people a ride, but don't sue me if we get lost.  |  IP: Logged Michael Schaffer "Where is the Boardwalk Hotel?" Posts: 4143 From: Boston, MA Registered: Apr 2002 posted 02-25-2003 07:13 AM                        I will be in Las Vegas by Monday afternoon and have a car. BTW, Chris, how long does it take to drive from the LA area to Las V.? I will actually be in San Diego this week but plan to go to LA on the weekend and then continue from there.  |  IP: Logged Paul Mayer Oh get out of it Melvin, before it pulls you under! Posts: 3836 From: Albuquerque, NM Registered: Feb 2000 posted 02-25-2003 11:07 AM                        It's about 340 miles from San Diego to Las Vegas. Call it about five hours (or less if you have a heavy foot) driving time non-stop across the Mojave Desert.  |  IP: Logged Christopher Seo Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 530 From: Los Angeles, CA Registered: Jun 99 posted 02-25-2003 11:29 AM                     Michael, Paul's got it right. Where exactly in LA are you leaving from? Depending on the time of day, just getting through the traffic in the metropolitan area will take a significant amount of time. For the least traffic, it's best to leave LA either by 5am, between 10am and 2pm, or after 6-7pm.....  |  IP: Logged Ian Price Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1714 From: Denver, CO Registered: Jun 99 posted 02-25-2003 12:20 PM                     I'll have to send my regrets. Monday is the Independent Film Showcase and is a must do on our itinerary. See you all on the show floor or at the Film-Tech event on Wednesday night.  |  IP: Logged Christopher Duvall Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 500 From: Denver, CO Registered: Dec 1999 posted 02-25-2003 05:01 PM                     Since I live here, I guess I will be in town. However, that Monday is tour day, so I will be working my theatre. The rest of the week I will be working at ShoWest in some capacity with most of them being screenings. I can't wait...  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 02-25-2003 05:05 PM                     May we tour your theater on Monday?  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 02-25-2003 07:25 PM                     Hows about we get together Tuesday instead?? Many will still be arriving in Vegas on Monday night. Mark  |  IP: Logged Mike Olpin Chop Chop! Posts: 1852 From: Dallas, TX Registered: Jan 2002 posted 02-25-2003 07:56 PM                     I always plan for 6hrs driving time from San Diego to Las Vegas. I would go, but my car won't survive the trip.  |  IP: Logged Michael Schaffer "Where is the Boardwalk Hotel?" Posts: 4143 From: Boston, MA Registered: Apr 2002 posted 02-25-2003 07:56 PM                        I guess there will be opportunities to meet on Monday AND Tuesday and other times as well. Mike, I really haven`t worked out all the details of my travel plans, but maybe I can give you a ride. All I really know is that I want to meet my friends in San Diego as soon as possible and get a bowl of Seafood Gumbo at the Bayou Bar - in San Diego`s Gaslamp Quarter on 4th and Market Street.  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 02-25-2003 09:16 PM                     Mark, the official FT gathering/drink is on Wednesday. The Monday thing is just for those of us who get there early and have time to kill. I expect it to be a small group of a dozen or less.  |  IP: Logged Oscar Neundorfer Master Film Handler Posts: 275 From: Senoia, GA Registered: May 2000 posted 02-26-2003 07:32 AM                        I will be there on Monday and may be free that night, not sure yet. I will not have a car. Are you meeting at Quark's or somewhere else, and what time?  |  IP: Logged
