#Siggraph PARTY!!

>FYI, the ASOFT party will be on Sunday night at the Biltmore. It would be nice
if you could make it.
Gosh, I feel welcome! But now I feel ignorant — I've been on this forum for
three years, used the product for that time, and I don't think I understand
what ASOFT is. Is that an Autodesk party, as opposed to a 3DS type party on
Tuesday?
So, it seems that I want to fly in on Sunday (for the party), and stay until
Wednesday night (making the Tuesday and Wednesday exhibits and the Tuesday
party). Does this sound like a plan? (I really can't take more than three
days off work or my team will have a heart attack).
You *should* feel welcome, Mike, you've certainly been around long enough!
ASOFT (Autodesk SOFTware) is/was the original name for this forum (which is
still being used by some old die-hards like myself).
The original concept was to augment the larger, more formal Adesk party with a
bit more intimate and informal version (held on another night) announced here
on the forum. This way, if you were a 3DS user on the forum, you'd
automatically be aware of the party and hopefully make arrangements to attend.
Folks who have spoken together and helped each other here throughout the year
get a chance to meet each other face-to-face in a friendly, informal
atmosphere, and have fun anticipating what news Siggraph will bring of our
common obsession, 3DS!
This is in no way meant to exclude the remainder of the 3DS community.
Certainly, _anyone_ interested in 3DS (or just anyone who thinks it might be
interesting to watch a bunch of 3D geeks go on about what they love) who hears
about the party is welcome to come by (it _is_ being held in public place,
after all!).
Tell your team to go easy on the nitro pills, Mike. Your travel plans sound
great.
See you there,

Alan and Everyone on this thread….
It was great to have you all visit FL last year….and I look forward to LA
this year.
On the subject of parties…it is a tradition that the the local chapters booth
at each siggraph convention maintains a database of all parties. Feel free to
visit the Siggraph Professional Chapters Booth and check out the where and when
of all parties….
Hope to see you all there….

Interesting. I still use ASOFT, and it shows up under my Golden Compass title
bar as that… What is the 'official' name?

PS. We have talked for years about doing some musical stuff at Siggraph… Are
we going to act on it this time?
Hi Jim, howzit goin'?
Jumped from Big Blue to King Klone, eh?<g>
I believe the new name for this forum is AMMEDIA — someone correct me if I'm
wrong there…
Due to the voice/communication orientation of the ASOFT party, we felt live
music would be too much of a distraction for this "event". The later part of
the Adesk party seemed much more appropriate, but nothing is nailed down as
yet. We're working on it…
See you soon,

Yup. Right after we shipped Warp. I'm now managing Software Development for
the Portable Division. Most of my graphics work is now done at home…
Thanks for the update, I'll see you at the show.

Jimmy –
The ASOFT name is officially now AMMEDIA. ASOFT still works though and maye CIS
will forget to take it off the roster and leave it <G>
