Hi Greg, I just found out I had to get a hotel in Pasadena cause everything else was booked. How long of a trip back & forth can I expect?

open house?
#180216From: Jul 14, 1995 9:01 PM

Greg – it would be nice to meet you again after so many years (I was the R&D guy for Dan Biggs at Digital Design in San Diego when we were beta testing 3dS r1 in 1989). Would love to drop in! Please send directions.

I've got a Thomas Guide for LA/Orange, but I am sure you know the best route to get to your place, so e-mail away, please.

Check your e-mail for directions to our Siggraph Party! Anyone else looking for a party Monday afternoon?

>> Anyone else looking for a party Monday afternoon? << Yes, please. I'd love to see an office bigger than my spare bedroom! <g> I'll bet YOUR office doesn't have blazing fluorescent green pile carpeting! Or a closet full of sportscoats and slacks from the 70's. Or a 5' x 3' black velvet Elvis. Quite the psychedelic environment I've got going here. %-)

Paul – AACCKKK!!! You're ruining my mental picture of you – starched white shirt, fresh clean jeans, bowl of fresh fruit on the pristine table, all manuals neatly in order on the library shelf in alpha order. Joe still talks about the green polyester leisure suit I dumped out of his closet when we got married. Says it travelled all over the world with him stuffed in his sea bag. i stuffed it in the garbage bag <G> Anne

Hmmmm… lasted about two days before the second law of thermodynamics kicked in! <g> I recently tripled my desk space, and somehow tripled the number of "miscellaneous" piles I tend to accumulate.

Got your directions, thanks! Hey, you didn't deny the closet full of polyester! <g> Paul S.

Hey can anyone give me a lift? I'm staying close to the convention centre, I think, and was hoping someone would be heading that way and didn't mind picking up a strange Australian tourist along the way. Thanks. DaviD "thumbing it" GouID
#181573From: Tim c BrananJul 22, 1995 8:17 PM
I could probably give you a lift. I am driving down, so I will have a car and all. You going to be at the party sunday night? You could navigate, then all I have to worry about is driving.

<<I could probably give you a lift.>> Thats, great. Thanks. <<You going to be at the party sunday night?>> You bet. We can work it out then. <<You could navigate, then all I have to worry about is driving.>> Sure, I've never been to LA but I'll give it a go. We could end up in Mexico by the end but hey we'll see alot along the way <g> Thanks again DaviD "the hitcher II" GouID

It sounds like a whole bunch of us are going to be at Siggraph and we'll all need a ride to Greg Pyros' place. Its starting to sound like we should just charter a bus from say 3pm to 10pm or something. — James — Choreo Motion —

Why not say 12:00pm to 7:00pm? Then you'll be here with the rest of us! :^) Everyone bring demo tapes!!!!!! BetaSP, SVHS, or VHS! This will be great! Greg Pyros

>> 45 minutes << Thanks. Guess it could be worse. Do you know if this would be the same to get to Sig?
#180550From: Jul 17, 1995 2:15 PM
Wade: >> Thanks. Guess it could be worse. Do you know if this would be the >> same to get to Sig? I'm lost in too many simultaneous threads! From where to the Convention Center?
#180562From: Accu-WeatherJul 17, 1995 3:28 PM

#180625From: Jul 17, 1995 9:36 PM
Wade: >> >> From where to the Convention Center? >> Pasadena; I'm not sure what part though. Could be 5 to 15 minutes, depending on what part. Greg Pyros

You must be very close to 134 if you are in Pasadena. Find your way to 5 South (this should be 134 East or West going to I-5 South). Take I-5 south towards downtown LA. You will then see signs for 110 south (still towards downtown LA). Just before I-10 you will see signs for The Convention Center (I believe it is Pico Blvd.) Enjoy Sigraph. From there (Pico Blvd.) ,take the on ramp to I-10 going West… Continue for 20 minutes till you get to 405 FWY going south towards LONG BEACH (a 45 minute drive to Greg Pyros… He can take it from here. Double-check with your map too.

Great, I was thinking it'd probably be 30 – 60 min. Thanks.
