"We have yet to recieve our invites for the Autodesk party at siggraph. Who should I contact?" Here's from a previous message: (also, check out the SIGPARTY.TXT file): I'm checking into this thru our Direct Mail department. To the best of my knowledge, the invitations dropped a couple of weeks ago. They were sent to all registered 3D Studio customers. Please be aware, that if you have a "not for resale" copy (evaluation, education, etc.), that you were not sent an invitation. If you don't get an invitation before you leave for the show, please bring some type of proof of purchase (not the lock) and we'll let you (and one guest) in. We realize that there are glitches in the system — not to worry! Also, if you have NOT registered, now is an excellent time to do so! Thanks Kathy Clinton Autodesk Multimedia Party Queen

I've NEVER gotten an invite! I know I'm registered 'cause I always get multiple upgrade notices and sales brochures. Oh, well… Ian

"I've NEVER gotten an invite! I know I'm registered 'cause I always get multiple upgrade notices and sales brochures. Oh, well…" Well Ian, both you and I need to talk to Kathy Clinton "Autodesk Multimedia Party Queen". I've been at Autodesk Product Support for 8 years and haven't been to SIGGRAPH once!

Hey, count me in for someone who has never gotten an invite either. I feel sad. <BG> DM

Hi Dave, Kathy Clinton was forwarded your message about the lack of SIGGRAPH invite. There are so many people on this thread that we may have not sent the invitations we thought we sent. We're checking into this.

>> There are so many people on this thread that we may have not >> sent the invitations we thought we sent. >> We're checking into this. In past years I got invitations and even gave it away last year because I could not go. This year, NO invite (I like to be asked even when I cannot accept <g>). Oh yes, same address so that is not the problem.

I passed this thread over to Kathy Clinton's email.

Well Nik, just so you can add us to your list of people not recieving invites. I leave tomorrow and to this date haven't received a single invitation. Kathy's premise of "not-registered" just doesn't hold water. For the last several years we've always gotten our invites and we're bombarded with upgrade notices, etc. As to proof of purchase, I purchased our copies many years ago and don't have the time or desire to pull invoices from that far back. Plain and simply ….. I'm crashing the party! 🙂 I'll grab Gary for a hostage if they try to throw me out. Paul

" I leave tomorrow and to this date haven't received a single invitation." I'm sorry – hopefully things will all get resolved at the door. We have received too many reports that tickets didn't arrive that something must have gone wrong. Kathy's got this message thread and will see what she can do.

Thanks Nik! I'll have a picture ID on me. Paul

ok, Add me to the list of the lacking. Since time is running short, and no invite in site, how about E-mailing or posting Venue Time Directions Thanks Todd

I feel honored to be included among such distinguished Animators in this thread as one who also didn't receive an invite this year, but did last year. Dennis
#183199From: Danny MercurioAug 2, 1995 10:33 AM
It seems I'm not alone in the "users who got an invite last year, but not this year" group. And here I thought it was because I was Canadian! <g> Danny…
#183211From: Nik Grant [adesk]Aug 2, 1995 10:59 AM
"And here I thought it was because I was Canadian!" Kathy Clinton was doing a background check on your nationality – I guess someone had hinted about you being Canadian. She's got your email and knows you're on the list of folks who haven't received tickets. Sorry for the problem.

How about Europian users? Are they going to be invited? We have never received 7 or 8 invites we are entitled to. (and, yes, we received them last year: long live Max Hoffman!) And why evaluation copies are excluded? Quite frustrated, Alex, Video International

"I feel honored to be included among such distinguished Animators in this thread as one who also didn't receive an invite this year, but did last year." Yes, it's quite a distinguished list! (Kathy Clinton's been forwarded this thread to see if we can clear up this problem. We want this list of yours to disappear!)
#183256From: Jeff HesterAug 2, 1995 2:43 PM
"I feel honored…" Add me to that list (although I don't consider myself worthy of such a distinguished honor). We *may* have actually received an invite, but procurement probably just filed it in that circular file <g>. Jeff Hester Fluor Daniel

>>I feel honored to be included among such distinguished Animators in this thread as one who also didn't receive an invite this year, but did last year. Gosh, y'all are starting to make me feel positively guiltly about getting an (out of a potential 3) invite. John Stetzer JWS

"FYI, we never received any either. We have 10 end-user registered copies, you'd think that 1 or 2 might have made it!" I'd think so too. Perhaps they have the Pyros copies on hold…? <grin>

Nik, I am a registered user, paying member of the club, and as of today I too have not received any invite. Something is wrong. Michael Bartlett – AEtherium Visions

"I am a registered user, paying member of the club, and as of today I too have not received any invite. Something is wrong." Thanks for letting us know. I gave Kathy your email message and hopefully we'll find out why so many people didn't get invitations, and fix the problem. It should work out okay, according to Kathy.

Nik, FWIW, I've got 2 registered copies and MetroLight Studios has 5 – guess what? ….. no invite. I don't care. I'll sneak in. Martin
#183239From: Aleksey PopelyukhinAug 2, 1995 12:39 PM
Hi, Martin! It could be that ASOFT forum participants got into "3DS Party black list" for the attempt to organize their own Party (e.g: Greg, you, Danny – nobody got invited). Alex, Video International

You can add me to the distinguished list of non-invited registered users. Andrew Sinagra Digital Art & Motion, Inc.
