  • Hey all, just changed over the backend after 15 years I figured time to give it a bit of an update, its probably gonna be a bit weird for most of you and i am sure there is a few bugs to work out but it should kinda work the same as before... hopefully :)

REDucation

I've signed up July full course. Flying from the SF Bay Area and will stay at downtown Sheraton. I'll land in LA on Sunday night, the 19th. Anyone staying in Sheraton willing to connect and carpool? If not, I'll just walk over to LACS since it's only a little over 1 mile from Sheraton.
 
Also coming from SF and staying at the Sheraton but I'll be walking; Been here in the city two years now and have gotten by fine walking and public transportation.
 
Walking

Walking

Hi,

Dean, Roubaix,

I too am coming from the Bay area, and staying at the Sheraton.

Like Dean my plan is to walk over, it's just not that far. If that turns out to be untenable for some reason, I could drive over and would be happy to provide transportation for others if I do.

all the best,

Steve

Hi Stacy,

You can come too if you bring me a ristretto from Roastaria Vivace. :)

(For more than I decade I commuted to Seattle just about every week, miss the people, miss the coffee, the weather... not so much.)

Hey, thanks Steve; Certainly if it's raining I'd gladly take you up on your offer. Hope to see everyone next week.

You must be from either the Pacific Northwest or the East Coast. There is no rain in Southern California during this time of year. In fact, it doesn't rain any time from about May through October or November.
 
Ah, well it's been almost 12 years since the last time I've been in L.A., and can't remember it ever raining during my visits.

But when it does, especially with a quick shower, and you're on the freeway and the oil deposited on the road rises on top of the water its like driving on ice...
 
I'm coming from Australia and will also be staying at the Sheraton. If anyone feels like catching up for a drink on Sunday night let me know.
 
And in other news, one slot just opened in RED Post. Anyone interested? Starts next Friday.

I would bring a laptop for note taking if you have one available. If I'm wrong Jeff, Ted, or Michael will let you know. One thing to note, the wifi is slow. That won't matter that much, You won't want to waste anytime surfing though with how many awesome things that are planned for the week.


I'm looking forward to meeting everyone! See ya on Monday.

There's my guys in picture 4... I know Matt and Ted are having a great time. I am really happy for them.
 
And who is that handsome devil holding the Mantis? :-)

For those of you playing along at home...

Things are going quite well for the first attempt at something like this.

Students from all over the world, a red candy store load of equipment, and good practical learning.

Other than some occasionally wonky sound problems things have gone remarkably smoothly IMHO.
