Nice pictures there! keltuzar Could you put names on the pics, so I can know who's who? I could only recognize Christina Aguilera with the Hodini t-shirt. Boy, I wish I could be there also.

Guest xionmark Posted August 4, 2005 Share Posted August 4, 2005 Can you post the other pictures that were taken? There's a few faces obscured and it'd be nice to see everyone; some annotation with names would be a great too as I didn't have chance to meet everyone. I'll still be at the show today and hope to have the pleasure of meeting more of you guys, it's been a great time! Thanks for making this event happen, it was fun! --Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FrankFirsching Posted August 4, 2005 Share Posted August 4, 2005 Seems like a lot of fun. I should work hard to get a paper accepted next year (the only chance for me to get there :- ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mcronin Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 Lets startwith some photoshop fodder: This is Kim Davidson at the Chapters party. He got rolled for the golden ticket in his shirt pocket. Next up is Michael (Arctor) being shadowed by a little pixie named Tracy of Meteor at the SESI party. Lastly we have Jeff (oldskool) and Jason (Excel). I would have never pegged Jeff for a hip hop fan but he dragged us downstairs where the "good" music was playing and got everyone on the floor; even Jason.

Mcronin Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 Ok this first one is at the Chapters party. It's a little naughty but I'm posting it because it's going to make a few people who were there laugh. The other two are Rubber Dolls at the SESI party.

Mcronin Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 A word about alcohol, specificly free alcohol. At first I was a little miffed about the fact that there were 5 bartenders serving like 3000 people at the SESI party, but as the night wore on I realized this was probably a good thing. The blonde is one of the bartenders. She was having a really bad night and I took this picture right after she almost killed some ass who thought it would be a good idea to hop up on the bar and take a nap. He was dragged out. The second pic is Kevin Gillen getting me drinks. What you can't see is that the line behind him is about 150 people deep. He's a good man. Despite this, we still managed to drink all the Whiskey in the place. Then we have the DNA guys demonstrating the three stages of inebriation. In the background we have Michael "I just got here some one get me a drink" Duffy on the left Chris? I dunno he's obviously not feeling pain. Last we have "Someone pour me into a taxi" Xean. Great guys; go see "Ant Bully" when it comes out. Last up is Jason trying to make me puke. He was successful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mcronin Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 SESI folk are good people. Here we have Sarah who put the party together Zubin and Monica shaking their butts at the Mayan. Luca, another shock. loves the Hip Hop. Garman talking about Stealth at the SESI booth Oh, and the SESI booth itself. E.D.W.A.R.D. and Bjorn (Slade) and some other guy who's name escapes me. Sadly E.D.W.A.R.D. was mugged by some drunken idiot right after this photo was taken. SESI had to overnight a new harddrive to get him reinstalled and running for a client meeting the following afternoon. Jeff (oldskool) explaining the finer points of maple syrup to Sheldon (keltuzar). I'm not kidding. That's what they were actually discussing, it went on for like 10 minutes. I had to put a stop to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevenong Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 E.D.W.A.R.D. and Bjorn (Slade) and some other guy who's name escapes me. The "some other guy" is Jeff Lait who is also from SESI. Cheers! steven Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mcronin Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 Here's a bunch of us having lunch at Sony. Starting from the left going clockwise... Pablo, Michael, Ben Simons, who, BTW, is like some kind of Siggraph celebrity, Jason, Alejandro, the one and only Marc, and Steven. Brian and Ivan from Martian Labs. Seem like really fun guys. Fred and Maxim from Meteor with Jason. Fred is a recent Houdini convert. He convinced Meteor to buy a few seats... good man. Slade at the Mayan on a mission to get women to come to the SESI party... He failed. Look how crushed he is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mcronin Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 The "some other guy" is Jeff Lait who is also from SESI.Cheers! steven 20191[/snapback] Really? I'm so sorry. I think when I met him in San Diego he had shorter hair. Didn't recognize him. Sorry Jeff! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 Yes, Jeff was not so hairy in San Diego. It seems like the hairy unkempt look is back, I saw a few people sporting this fashion. Ben, you cut your crazy doo too soon. Thanks for all the pics Mr Cronin, it's good to have all the goings on on record. I can't wait to see what comes out of Ben's camera (mainly because I'll be suprised if anything comes out of there). M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mcronin Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 The sad thing is that is Ben's "Clean Cut" summer look. I have plenty more pictures, unflattering images of people, mostly from SESI, but I'll spare them the embarassment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
