Re: Siggraph dinner - the finale
Friendly reminder as Siggraph is now less than 2 weeks away. If you would like to meet other users over dinner, please RSVP by emailing me at matt(dot)lind(at)mantom(dot)net with subject “Siggraph dinner 2016”. Guests are welcome provided I’m notified in advance. Please include: - your name - number of people in your party including yourself - other accommodations, if applicable (dietary requirements, handicap access, etc.) - reliable contact information to reach you in case plans change unexpectedly. NOTE: I am switching web hosts this week. if your message bounces it probably means the transfer is in progress. In which case just try again later. Feel free to pass along the invite to someone who may be interested. --- What: A casual dinner amongst colleagues to put faces to names. Where: Ralph Brennan’s Jazz Kitchen @ Downtown Disney 1590 Disneyland Drive Anaheim, CA 92802 Located on west end of downtown Disney, south side of the street. (East of AMC theaters, west of House of Blues, opposite Taqueria and Tortilla Jo’s). When: Sunday July 24, 2016. - 6:00 pm meet and greet in the bar (lower level, right side) - 7:30 pm(ish) seated for dinner. NOTE: Everyone must be present or else hostess will not seat us (Disney’s rule – they do enforce it). Other details: - Each person is responsible for his/her own bill, including gratuity and taxes. - The bill is issued per table, therefore expect to do simple arithmetic to calculate your portion, and (preferably) have cash on hand to pay it. --- Matt -- Softimage Mailing List.

RE: Siggraph dinner
BTW - being the first dinner after retirement, attendees should wear some type of Softimage memorabilia such as the oldest T-shirt (that doesn't look like a truck ran over it) you can find, or something that commemorates how you first got involved with Softimage. Matt From: softimage-boun...@listproc.autodesk.com [mailto:softimage-boun...@listproc.autodesk.com] On Behalf Of Matt Lind Sent: Wednesday, August 06, 2014 3:12 PM To: softimage@listproc.autodesk.com Subject: Siggraph dinner Sorry for the delay. I've been very busy on the home front and am behind schedule compared to years past, so this will be like the original dinners from 15 years ago I planned by the seat of my pants - which turned out pretty well. I don't have a venue picked yet, but will follow usual schedule of dinner on Sunday with meet n' greet starting at 6 pm and sit down for dinner around 7:15 pm-ish. The venue will either be near the convention center, or in the hotel district. If you would like to attend, send an email to matt.lind(at)mantom.net with your contact information (email address you would like to be contacted at) and how many guest(s) you are bringing. I'll notify you with choice of venue when it becomes known. Just be aware it may be last minute. Please only RSVP if you truly expect to attend. Matt

Only 1 week to go and the guest list looks suspiciously empty compared to years past. The restaurant requires I give them a confirmed guest list in advance. If your name does not appear in the 'attending' list, you will not have a seat at the dinner table. If you plan on attending, please RSVP now by following the instructions posted on the event.

The results have been tallied and almost 85% of you requested Sunday as the first choice of meeting time, and a smaller percentage specifically requested a return to Trader Vic's. Therefore, common sense says to do just that. If interested in attending, please RSVP via the event's facebook page (work in progressand please follow the instructions in the event's description). http://www.facebook.com/itta.10 If you have problems accessing the page, contact me offline at: matt[dot]lind[at]mantom[dot]net Thanks, Matt

This year marks the 10th anniversary of the event. I'm conducting an informal survey so I may better plan the event. Most years the event starts at 6:00 pm with meet n' greet, then sit down for dinner some time after 7:00 pm. There's usually drinks afterwards at another venue. This year Siggraph will be held in Los Angeles, California at the LA convention center which is part of the Staples Center where the Lakers, Kings, and Clippers play home games. For reference, last time I hosted in Los Angeles the event was held at Trader Vic's on the north end of the LA Live block on Siggraph Sunday which is immediately north of the staples center. If you're interested in attending, let me know by sending an email to matt(dot)lind(at)mantom(dot)net. Include some basic details such as: - your name - email address - preferred day for dinner (1st choice and alternate choice). - maximum time/distance from convention center you're willing to travel - special requirements, if applicable (handicap access needed, food allergies, dietary restrictions, etc...) I'll use submitted information for the purpose of scouting locations and planning this year's dinner. It will not be shared with anyone. thanks, Matt -- --- Simon Ben Anderson blog: http://vinyldevelopment.wordpress.com/
