We are already up and running here at the Marriott. Mark Wade is coordinating details with the hotel staff. Jody Wade & Ruby Groves are sorting the conVENTion registration packages. Ken Groves & I are in the showroom coordinating with the display company who are setting up the backdrops. Then we’ll be setting up and testing the sound and video. The doors open at 4:00 and there is a lot to do, so no time to waste.
In the Marriott’s lobby and Atrium area, friends are connecting after being apart for a year or more. Everytime you turn around, someone else is checking in. The Starbucks and the hotel restaurant are filling up with people becoming reacquainted.
Even though you can’t be with us, I’m happy to share –

Last year I celebrated the ConVention with as many videos as I could find. So I thought even though Tom’s blog right here is ground central …I thought a few more suggestions wouldn’t hurt. If you’ve got any add to it … please do so.
The first suggestion is Netflix. It plays on the computer, phone or onto the tele. If you don’t have it they give you a free month … or at least they use too.
Dumbstruck
Her Master’s Voice
Arguing With Myself
Spark of Insanity
My next suggestion is YouTube. I know this is no surprise here … There a ton of videos here. Ron Lucas’s whole Disney special and complete copies of Magic, the Great Gabbo and the Unholy Three if you want to study vent in film. But if you search for dirkthevent, you should come to Dirk Golden’s channel. Dirk has videos of … I think 3 ConVentions plus hidden in among these videos is the documentary on the Los Vegas convention.
I’m going to make it a point to come here everyday after work and check out the schedule!
I know Dirk Golden isn’t at the ConVENTion this year, but Rick Jenkins is providing some great videos and uploading them pretty fast! Here is a link to his Youtube page.
