I like that one. ...I've always liked my dad's opinion on skydiving too - "why would anyone want jump out of a perfectly good airplane?"

I personally have never tried it. But I attribute that to a good friend of mine who has trained jumpers for the Marines for years and took a brief try as a sky diving instructor in the civilian world. Maybe he's told me too many stories or something.

OTOH, I do plenty of stupid stuff that's equally dangerous or more so. And if anyone is looking to send a RED One to Mars and need a DP for the job, I'm your man! ;) Or the moon would be OK, but I'd really like to give that whole astronaut thing a try if/when NASA finally gets around to sending people to places other than the ISS.
 
Monday's packed with classes for me >.< so unless I convince my cinematography teacher to make NAB a field trip, I'll just have to send my brother to the RED booth in my place for the first day at least.
 
Nearest hotels are the Hilton and the Rennaisance. I doubt there's any rooms left at either of them by now though.... Next best thing to do is probably get a room at a hotel on or near the monorail.

Stayed at the Best Western Mardi Grass last year which is walking distance (like 5 mins. tops) and wasn't too expensive
 
Hi Folks,

A few future RED owners will be meeing up in Central London this Saturday 31st March 2007 at lunch time. We are going to discuss all things RED and particularly NAB. Please PM me if you'd like the details and include an email address in the PM.

All the best, Phil

Hi Phaz, At the moment we have Tuesday night pencilled in at the hof house:

http://www.hofbrauhauslasvegas.com/location/index.php

I think we'll kick off sometime between 6-30 and 7-00pm

Someone else suggested some other bar would be the place to be on Wednesday night but I've lost that post temporarily. I'll try and dig that up though.

All the best, Phil
 
Hofbrau is good because you can get an ENORMOUS mug of beer.

It's also good because it is a replica like everything in vegas.

Can a moderator sticky this info for the tuesday night thing?
 
thanks Phil,

tuesday it is and I think the sticky thingy is an excellent idea LNZ

The only thing I hate about that enormous mug of beer is that they only serve their lager in that. If you order their hefeweizen, it comes in this prissy little long glass. Am I the only person who likes hefe? Because when I order that, I am the ONLY one in the crowded raucous restaurant standing on my bench NOT swinging around an enormous mug. It just makes me feel so inadequate. :umm:

I'll ask the bartender to bring you a mug and a highchair. :weight_lift:

Just kidding, hef is the greatest. Sadly, we only get Hoegarden around these parts.

Tranquil,

You're not one of those 6 pints before dinner types are you?

Most of my worst hangovers have started at 6pm in the company of Englishmen.

He he he "Lightweight" - just kidding - as Al Murray the Pub Landlord says "Eating is cheating"

Well LNZ - you should be so lucky - strangely enough that's when/how most of my hangovers started as well - is it coincidence?? - what are the chances of that happening??

Having said that my absolute worst hangover started at 11-00 am and finished at about 10pm and it was at "The Henly Regatta" which is quite a posh do. But them "Toffs" certainly know how to drink. We all started with half a bottle of Champagne !! Hick!
 
Tranquil, just remember, in America we serve beer the correct way, cold. hehehe. Though I do miss fine English beer. When I was over there, was introduced to Speckled Hen at a 600 year old pub in SouthHampton. The version they import here in America is not as good.
