************************************************************************* PARTY! PARTY! PARTY! PARTY! PARTY! PARTY! PARTY! PARTY! PARTY! ************************************************************************* Hello Everyone, I am very pleased to announce that there will, in fact, be a Siggraph '94 ASOFT Party! After being shamed into it by JKJ<g>, I've done a little legwork here and have been assured by some VERY nice folks out at the Hilton at Walt Disney World Village that they, indeed, think we could have a nice time Sunday night in their "Finn's Grill Bar"! There seems to be no live entertainment scheduled (that's for you, Alec!<g>), and no DJ in sight, so we should be able to meet, talk, kabbitz, have a cool one, and otherwise hob-nob to our heart's content. Chances of getting some sort of TV monitor are quite favorable, and my contact, Chris, seems to be quite willing to make us feel at home, so plan on coming and relaxing and just plain old having fun! So here's the facts: ————————————————————————– WHERE: Finn's Grill Bar The Hilton at Walt Disney World Village 1751 Hotel Plaza Blvd. Lake Buena Vista, FL 32830 407/827/4000 (My contact's name is Chris Fava) WHEN: Sunday night, July 24, 1994 — 7:30PM – ?? WHO: Virtually everyone and anyone who wants to come! The more the merrier! —————————————————————————— I truly hope this year's party is HALF as much fun as last year's. C'mon down and meet your ASOFT friends in the "flesh" and bring any demo tapes you'd like. I think we'll probably be able to take S-VHS and VHS (if we get the TV). If I have time, I'll try to make some more name tags<g>. Hope to see everyone there!

This sounds great! I was *very* pleased to meet all of you for the first time last at last year's ASOFT party. Looking forward to 'clincking' a mug of brew with you again!

Yup. And we've gotta have our traditional pizza session, too! -Alan

It'll be great if you can make it again, Gary. And hopefully you can drag a few of the elusive Yost Group/Adesk folks with you like last year. -Alan PS -And thanks for the spelling lesson…<g>

I'll be hanging with Jack and Jamie that night, most likely. Tom, Dan and Rolf will be arriving in Orlando on Monday. – G

Well, then I hope to see y'all at the Hilton, Gary. I'll miss talking to DanS, but hopefully I'll run into him during the show… -Alan PS -Went to the LA screening of "Digi" last night. Very interesting experience. The thing looked pretty decent comin' off the Barco set-up down at Sony pictures.

Dan and Tom will both be at the party Wednesday night, along with Rolf. – G PS: Greg sez that he'll be bringing a copy of Digi to the party as well.

It's Wednesday evening from 7-10 at the Disneyworld Hilton. If you're a registered 3DSer, you should've gotten an invitation in the mail by now! – G

I registered my 3DS as soon as I got it. I remember I even called it in. I still haven't recieved my invite. What can I do? Is it too late? Andrew

You can contact Kathy Clinton at kathyc@autodesk.com for specific info about why you might not've received your invite yet. It's not too late! – G

I'm really bummed that I (probably) won't be able to make it to the Sunday bash – but I'll look forward to catching folks during the show and at the various parties around town (including the 3DS party). knock a few back for me, Alan <g> John Tissavary (LUNA cie)
