#Howlin' @ the JOHN
6 messages in this thread
Andrew,
It was great getting to meet you and Gino. I really wish we had
about 20 more members as enthusiastic as yourself. As you could see
there are plenty of LURKERS who don't contribute and who don't even
own 3DS but probably only show up because it's the only place in town
they can pick up a $200+ door prize for the price of a $3 raffel ticket.
Oh well, this is how we are able to afford such a wide spread mailing
list for our news letter (Glen in Australia and Dr.Gessepi in Portugal)
not to mention other (hi-profile…..world class guys), and executive
fishing trips. Did I fail to mention that I picked up Pizzarama last week!
For anyone just in on this thread, Andrew and Gino drove 2 hours
from Gainsville Fla to attend our Users Group meeting in Tampa last nite
in a horrible rain storm. A storm which kept several of our regulars
whom live 20 min away from even showing up. These guys are really
motivated. If only GaryY knew what a cult following he has in this area,
he would probably sell his company and start a CHURCH like everyone else
does down here. "Place both hands on your monitor and feeeeel the power!"
Andrew an buddies also had the jump on we MoonDogs. They checked the place
out Monday nite before Siggraph an knew better NOT to return. Excuse me
OFFICER your blocking my path to the bar. I'm sure they would have hung
in there with the really really BIG DRINKERS, at our MONDO "Wednesday nite
after the Autodesk party", Howlin'at the Moon RumpleMintz slam fest, right
up til the end. Whew! can't beleive I got all that into one sentence.
Eventhough, for some of us Howlin' at the Moon spawned a whole new level
of awareness, hence: Howlin' @ the John.
I guess that's why GOD created motels, so we have the option NOT to bring
that home with us <g>.

Lee,
Thanks for the kind words. We really had a lot of fun and are already
looking forard to coming back next month. Hopefully we get to see more of the
regular members. The door prize was great but I still love my techno-colored
pen.
After a short time at Howlin' Monday we were told about this place
Barberella's that was "just down the street", and they had "FREE BEER", need I
say more?! So after walking for 15 to 20 minutes and starting to think we
were walking back to Gainesville we heard the faint cry of DISCO!! This place
was a trip, we walked in and there were two giant screens with computer
animation on them and YMCA was playing in the background. The Village People
music block kind of scarred me at first but we stuck around for the FREE BEER
and it was well worth it. Around 3AM people were still coming in the door and
Gino and I were starting to think, "Maybe will go to SigGraph from here." With
in a half hour, fatigue set in and we ended up making the trek back to the
car. At 7AM, the all you can eat breakfast buffet in the hotel was tasting
mighty fine. <g> Hopefully we can find a reason to make the ride back to
Orlando for a weekend.
Lee, can you give me some more info on that PBS thing. I think Gino
and I might be interested.
Talk to you soon,
Andrew
Thank Greg Pyros for the pens.
Send me your mailing address and I will make sure you
get the info in the PBS thing. Perhaps you already
gave your address to Jeff, in either case, you'll get it.
How are the tapes?

The tapes are great. The 2d was a little boring but the lofter had some
helpful hints. I can't wait to see the rest of them. I can send them to you
when needed, just let me know.
Andrew
Andrew:
Any time! (Well, almost any time – do I have to go fishing with Lee next
time?) <bg>
Greg Pyros
>> do I have to go fishing with Lee next time?
From what I hear, I'm not sure if anyone should be subjected to that twice.<g>
