Parties?

[malducin]

Well, first of all there's the Sake Barrel Opening Party on Monday.

I'm surprised Paul, Roberto or on of the other regulars haven't organized the unofficial CGTalk party. In LA we usually have it on the Westin Bonaventure, sometimes on Sunday. Although now with LA Live we have more options.

Hey there,

I'm surprised Paul, Roberto or on of the other regulars haven't organized the unofficial CGTalk party. In LA we usually have it on the Westin Bonaventure, sometimes on Sunday. Although now with LA Live we have more options.

That was next on my list. I usually allow an LA local throw some suggestions in, but I am happy to keep the Bonaventura Brewery at the long table at the maze around the back of the hotel. Sunday 5th August 8:30pm til late. What say you?

Sounds perfect, instead of having long discussions about when and where (which are only necessary for non-LA locations). And quite a few people here have gone before so they know th place.

[tengyang]

Sounds like a great idea. Please keep us up to date on the plans. Love these get-togethers :)

Ok guys, see you there..

I'll be at the CGTalk Meetup just after the Technical Papers Fast Forward. Can't wait to catch up with you, Paul. Thanks for organizing this!

And I'll make sure to drag Zeb along too.

[jdrouse]

[aglick]

ok - it's been a couple of years. I have no excuses not to come see my CGS peeps. I'll be there.

So did anyone hear why there was no Blur party this year? I am assuming it was just economy related? A darn shame it didn't take place. :-(
