Heads up... who here from NYC is planning to attend the
big Vimeo Festival and Awards program this weekend?

Various complications are prohibiting me from going
as previously planned, so now I'm looking for someone
to cover it for DV Info Net. Perks involved! Admission
fees, etc. all covered. If interested, please contact me
via email -- chris at dvinfo dot net.

Thanks in advance,

They seem to have a lot of people running around with cameras down here covering the event. Mostly 5 and 7D's. There is a lot going on. Attendance is good. The workshops are full. And the lectures as well. The screenings are great. It must be a rush for these Vimeons to see their stuff n the big screen, which holds up pretty well as it turns out. There are some stunning works presented here. I was in an artist profile meeting with Vincent Moon. He is a phenomenon. Very original. Thanks to Vimeo his work is becoming very well known and appreciated. I have also had fun meeting new and creative filmmakers here. This is a big success for Vimeo, but really it is a success for the community of contributors who make up the content for the site. Sorry I couldn't help, but I thought I would share an update anyway.

Thanks Norman, sure appreciate the report! We'll have
event pics posted soon, thanks to some friends of mine.
