I'll be there! First time for Vegas and NAB for me. Coming in early on Saturday to Wednesday. Pretty stoked about the exhibits and meeting everyone!

Re: NAB2015 Roll Call and Pass Codes
 

For those of you coming to NAB for the first time...BRING COMFORTABLE SHOES. You're going to be doing a lot of walking. NAB takes up the entire LVCC and it's about a 20 minute walk from one end to the other. That's if you go in a straight line. Most can't because they'll see something along the route that they detour over to for a closer look.

And if it's your first time visiting Vegas and plan to gamble...

* Know the rules of the game and how to maximize your odds (especially blackjack.)
* Budget how much money you are willing to lose.
. - When it's gone, leave the table.
. - If you double it, leave the table.
. - After an hour or if you are tired/drunk and prone to mistakes, leave the table!
* Have fun!

I've known people who suffer from acute gambling addiction. How can you spot them? They don't leave the table! ;)

For an adventure, jump The Deuce (double decker bus that runs along The Strip) and head to Fremont for the Fremont Street Experience and cheap souvenirs, nickel slots and horrible watered down drinks that are free.

And yes...

WEAR COMFORTABLE SHOES!

Even business reps from major corporations will be wearing suits with sneakers. The easiest way to tell a first timer to NAB is the dress shoes.

Lorinda and I walked from Mandalay Bay to Secret HQ which isn't overly far from the Convention Centre with me wearing newer dress shoes on my first visit as I wanted to make a good impression on the DVInfo crowd. The heel blisters were EPIC!

Friends don't let friends wear dress shoes at NAB!

Re: NAB2015 Roll Call and Pass Codes
 

Ha! Wife already took away my personal cards and gave cash for the gambling - (everything else is paid for via work). Apparently, she learned I had a walk away problem on our last cruise - but hey, gotta lose money at least once in Vegas!

Re: NAB2015 Roll Call and Pass Codes
 

Holy cow, I just checked the distance on Google Maps... that's just about three and a half miles!

Re: NAB2015 Roll Call and Pass Codes
 

Dylan TOLD us it was a short walk... "half an hour or so" he said...

Some friend! <laughs>

Re: NAB2015 Roll Call and Pass Codes
 

It was worth it for the fun we had, but you definitely win the prize for the biggest blister I've ever seen, Shaun. :) So sorry you aren't going to make it this year; we always have a great time.

A promised Mudslide from Craig and a hug from Bill means I've been trying extra, extra, EXTRA hard to make this trip work. Probably inched to somewhere over 50% tonight so I'm hopeful!

Re: NAB2015 Roll Call and Pass Codes
 

You married a Keeper, Adam! My wife gave me mad money as well... Have a safe trip in, and be sure to come by the JVC booth (Central Hall #4314 - next to Canon) and say "Hey!"

Re: NAB2015 Roll Call and Pass Codes
 

I'll be there. It would be great to meet you Chris.

Re: NAB2015 Roll Call and Pass Codes
 

Hey Bill, can you please shoot me an email so that I can reply with the info for our annual Monday night get-together. I think the contact info on your DVi account might be outdated.

chris at dvinfo dot net

Looking forward to meeting you!

Re: NAB2015 Roll Call and Pass Codes
 

You've got mail! With details about our Monday night DVi get-together.

Re: NAB2015 Roll Call and Pass Codes
 

Hey all, I will be there Tuesday night till Thursday morning would love to catch up/meet some fellow dvi-ers if there's anything going on.

Re: NAB2015 Roll Call and Pass Codes
 

Nick -- we'll be at the SuperMeet at The Riviera on Tue. night.

I'm usually out in the lobby with a beer for that whole deal. Look for small clusters of folks and spy their NAB badges. I'll still be wearing mine.

Fourteenth Annual Las Vegas SuperMeet || Creative Pro User Group Network

Wish we could have seen you Mon. night though!

One more check here for anybody else on Monday night...

Re: NAB2015 Roll Call and Pass Codes
 

I never got the email... same time and place as last year?

Re: NAB2015 Roll Call and Pass Codes
 

I won't be there Chris but yes, same place.

Re: NAB2015 Roll Call and Pass Codes
 

Would have been good to see you... maybe next year eh?

Re: NAB2015 Roll Call and Pass Codes
 

Chris, sorry about that -- you remember where, right?

Anytime tonight between 8pm and 11pm.

Re: NAB2015 Roll Call and Pass Codes
 

Whoever said "don't take wooden nickels" obviously never met Chris Hurd. Thanks for a good time, Chris!

Re: NAB2015 Roll Call and Pass Codes
 

So glad you could be there, Mike -- many thanks !

Re: NAB2015 Roll Call and Pass Codes
 

Thanks once again for a GREAT party, Chris! It's always so fun getting together with DV Info friends. You are far too generous, but we'll keep letting you spoil us year after year. :)

Re: NAB2015 Roll Call and Pass Codes
 

So I need to ask...

Considering JVC knocked it out of the park with the LS300, did Craig look like the cat that ate the canary?!?!?

I had the chance to talk to Craig before NAB and he sure is proud of what JVC have done this time out and I can only imagine the look on his face as he "confronted" our own Mister Couper.

Re: NAB2015 Roll Call and Pass Codes
 

Sean,

Para 1: Yes, most definitely.
Para 2: It is our understanding that Dylan paid his "gambling debt" to Craig in full. That's all I know. Further details might have to come directly from either of them...

Re: NAB2015 Roll Call and Pass Codes
 

Craig didn't have to do any confronting, Shaun. The cat had even more reason to be all smiles because the moment Dylan saw him he started the chant, "JVC! JVC!" and got the crowd to join in. It was great!

Speaking of Craig...thanks for the Mudslide! My turn next year with whatever that was you had that I couldn't get right. :)

Re: NAB2015 Roll Call and Pass Codes
 

Yup. That's my boy...

Now I REALLY wish I hadn't missed this year. That and from the sounds of it, Dylan didn't make his crew stay in a scary hotel with blood stains on the carpet outside the bathroom this time... First time since Mandalay Bay and I missed it!

Re: NAB2015 Roll Call and Pass Codes
 

LOL You guys just stayed on the wrong floors at that hotel. My "upper crust" rooms were fine both times. ;)

You were definitely missed, Shaun...by more folks than just me! Next year!

Re: NAB2015 Roll Call and Pass Codes
 

Loved the entrance!

Loved seeing the DVInfo.net crew once again!

Loved terrorizing the town with Dylan and his band of Crazy Canucks!

Yes, Shaun, you missed an epic night.

...but there's always next year.

Here's to Chris for yet another outstanding event!

Re: NAB2015 Roll Call and Pass Codes
 

Ahem........ :)

Re: NAB2015 Roll Call and Pass Codes
 

FWIW, we all went ziplining on Fremont St.

Re: NAB2015 Roll Call and Pass Codes
 

Oh, is that what they're calling it these days. Hehe
