I will definitely be bringing my still digital cam with extra memory cards! I gotta take pics off all the different installs, and fellow empegers. Digital video would be damn nice though! I'm sure someone out there has a digvidcam.

In reply to:
Yes, but it's taken me 4 hours to get from Reading to Cambridge (~100 miles)
Pah. That's nothing. Try having a girlfriend in Birmingham when you live in Zürich and you fly over so often that the only affordable way of doing it is to fly SleazyJet into Luton, then hire a car and drive to Brum. Total journey time, door to door is about six hours. More if LazyJet are late (which, in my experience, nine times out of ten they are).
Ho hum. Still, a long weekend coming up and a 'proper' flight with a 'proper' airline into Brum - then we've just got to drive up to Durham. Thank God I'm only here for another 167 days.
Aaaaaaanyway, this is getting well off topic.

If someone else wants to work it, (I'll have my hands full with my digi-still), I've got a MiniDV camera I can bring along.
Never used it to actually create .MOV's though. :)

I have Premiere 5.1 and an unused Firewire port on my laptop we can use. Or a RCA in port that I may get working in time. I'll make sure to bring it for the trip, as I already promised Tony a look at WinXP on it.

Hi,
I've just booked my flight (along with my gf, who is coming along on the premise that the weather in California has to be better than the weather here), so I'll be there :)
Ticket & hotel booked, see you guys there..

Hmm... lots of Texans in the list here. Maybe we've got the critical mass to have our own get together some day. It's perhaps best not to do it during the summer... September or October would be pretty good, especially if we can time it for some nifty new Rio/empeg products to be available to demonstrate. Hmm....

Here is a wacky idea:
Rob, how about you bring a stack of NDAs to the meet and let us sign our souls away for a preview of the future? I'm sure that'll convince a few more of the "maybe"s to come too.

Although it's definitely way to far off to tell with any great amount of certainty.... it's looking like we might have some sunshine for the meet! It's been dismal and rainy for about a week and looks like it'll stay that way for another. If it's sunny on the 3rd, with all these people... this is gonna be one helluva event! Come ooooon March 3rd...get here already.

Hmm, how did he get out to CA already?
The good thing is that I have enough days off around it to explore the area. I've been to S. CA many times, but never N. CA.

I question whether they used virgin goat's blood with the chicken feet to divine that particular week-and-a-half-in-advance forecast.
It's such a joke. They can't tell the weather accurately three days in advance, let alone ten. ___________ Tony Fabris

So true. Funny, cause a friend of mine was in town all weekend, and we wanted to do the whole Alcatraz thing, so i was looking at that page for San Francisco weather every few hours or so to see if we should prepare for a crazy rainstorm, or if it might be reasonably clear. The outlook changed every hour, and was still way wrong. It was 80% chance of severe showers at 9am decreasing during the day up until an hour before we left at 8am, and it ended up actually being partly cloudy and nice until about 5pm, when the sky opened up. I know the Bay Area weather system is incredibly difficult to predict. The location must make a drastic difference on how easy it is to predict weather or something. Back home in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, they were amazingly accurate with that stuff. Hm. Well, off to do some anit-rain dances...

Have you tried www.weatherplanner.com? It predicts a full year ahead as a long term daily forecast. It's accuracy is in the 90% -- it tracks its own accuracy (for example if it predicts a clear day, and it rains for 2 minutes that counts as a 100% failure for the day). It does not do short term forecasting -- has to be 2 weeks away or more. I've used it for my long term planning and its great stuff, always on the ball and more so than the local 5 day forecast. I had one event I planned that the local meteorologists predicted as "showers" and weatherplanner predicted as "sunny 60 to 70 degrees, some clouds" and the local 5 day forecast was wrong, weatherplanner was right. I'm sold. Try it.
