Premium Members Andy Stankovich Posted March 4, 2007 Premium Members Report Share Posted March 4, 2007 Are there any plans to get to gether like last year? My invites to Tiffen Steadicam night seem to get misplaced and got lost in Vegas trying to find the Tuesday night event last year. I am keen to meet everyone and will get a local Vegas guide this time. JP, we are staying at the Stratosphere.

Premium Members Simon Jayes Posted March 17, 2007 Premium Members Report Share Posted March 17, 2007 Hi Guys, I too am looking forward to a get together in Vegas, but I can't go for more than two days out of the four........sooooo, any idea which nights are slated for a "gathering"? It would be a shame to be there and miss such an event - not that I can't have fun on my own !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Members JimBartell Posted April 7, 2007 Premium Members Report Share Posted April 7, 2007 Someone just e-mailed me saying they couldn't find my booth name in the NAB show guide. That is because I will be sharing a booth with Don Wetzel of Palomar Engineering that is listed under his "Loon Audio" corporate name. The booth is N7327 in the North hall. We are in the Audio hall as Don will be primarily showing his new Loon Boom pole, but we will have BFD, BUZ and M-One's on display as well. It's a nice, quiet relaxing place to get away from the hustle and bustle of the video/film halls. Come on by! I suggest the "Hofbräuhaus Las Vegas" for the get together. It has a great indoor beer garden with painted ceiling, beers as big as your head and all the sausage you can shake a carbon-fiber post at. Alternatively, the "Peppermill's Fireside Lounge" is walking distance from the Convention center and was used as the after-show watering hole by all the Operators working for Cinema Products at NAB's in the 90's. Quiet, very relaxing, and it has cinema history: It appears in "Casino" with DeNiro and Sharon Stone. It has the only water-filled fireplace I've ever seen.

So strong is the Fireside Lounge's juju, you can practically feel the requited lust in the parking lot.>> Is this just coincidence Jim or will this be the Jim "Uh...I don't know what happened in Vegas" Bartell trip?

Yikes! Apparently it has a different ambiance than it did a decade ago. We liked it because it was quiet and pretty empty. I'm sure this new atmosphere would appeal to Mr. Baldwin and McDonnell now that Jumbo's Clown Room has closed, but it's not exactly where I'd want to go to power drink with the Steadi-crowd. Personally, I'd prefer the Hofbräuhaus beer garden, but you have to drive there and the Peppermill is only a short walk away. So what does our local Las Vegas resident recommend, hmmmmmm?

Premium Members James Puli Posted April 8, 2007 Premium Members Report Share Posted April 8, 2007 Hofbräuhaus beer garden sounds awesome to me Jim. Cant wait to be there and meet all of you guys in person. I fly into LA on Wednesday and am staying in LA till May 5th. So if theres anything happening post NAB that would be awesome. THen Im back in LA for Cinegear with a few days either side. James "Happy Traveller" Puli Melbourne Australia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members Brian W. Hall Posted April 10, 2007 Premium Members Report Share Posted April 10, 2007 So whats the deal, has there been a time/date/location locked for next weeks dinner/meeting? Hope I can make it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So what does our local Las Vegas resident recommend, hmmmmmm? Hofbrauhaus is fine if you're okay with a loud noisy tourist spot but it fits the "power drink" requirement. The beer and brats are excellent and there's plenty to look at. It's always tough transporting people around though and parking is a bear. With you there Jim we'd likely have enough testosterone to be safe at Peppermill and it would be easier/less confusing for everyone just to walk across the street from the show. Keepin' it super simple... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members Dan Coplan Posted April 11, 2007 Premium Members Report Share Posted April 11, 2007 Just like last year - how many Steadicam ops does it take to pick somewhere at NAB to get sloshed? I vote Hoffbrau Haus Tuesday night at 8PM. All those in favor say aye! Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
