Siggraph is just around the corner!

The lemmings are coming! The lemmings are coming! No seriously, if you are serious (thats 2 "serious's" already) about 3D than you probably already have tickets. If your REALLY serious (3) about 3D then you probably are too busy making movies to go. LOL. Nevertheless its here. My wife and I are going with Roger and his girlfriend Carrie and man are we stoked! I was lucky enough to get a seat for Jason Schliefers come back special (Autodesk Rigging Masterclass). Better yet I will be sitting next to Tom Meade (friend/mentor). While it is kinda' hard on the wallet due to it being held in Boston this year, I am still excited nonetheless...ESPECIALLY since I have had a taste of the sweet nector at GKR (Giant Killer Robots). Ok, I am in my mel class and my teacher just walked in so I have to go. Seriously (4). Later!

One word...jealous. Man its hard to believe SIGGRAPH is back so soon. Seams like only days ago that you won the Polywell machine. I know you guys will have a blast and don't forget to drop those business cards everywhere. The way last year went, I expect great things from all of you, atleast one of you has to win something. I'll have to rejoin you all when it comes back to L.A. next year. Have a blast and I'll see you in September.

Landis,

This Siggraph should be a blast. Hopefully we can all meet when we are there. I am going to be dropping my demo reel on almost every company that I know of.

Hey Shan!
Yeah man we are going to miss ya' this year. I cannot BELIEVE it has been a year. So much has changed...its absolutely mind blowing. By the way before I forget, the Academy is using the WORM on the commercial now! Pretty cool eh'? More on that over the phone (I will be calling you tommorow on my "lunch" break). Anyways, I wish you could be with us at siggraph. We will have to make up for it when we come to L.A. next month. Good times ahead....good times indeed.

Kristoff,
Yes...I am stoked. I am actually going to be attending Jason Schliefers rigging classes. I know you already know that but I will be announcing it a couple of hundred times or so throughout the week. I probably wont even be able to sleep this weekend.

So I am sitting here in the north end of Boston having an iced coffee and surfing wirelessly on my laptop. The weather is blistering hot and humid. I suggest to any of you coming to Siggrah to pack light clothes! I cant wait to see you all here so we can tear it up. Safe travels and Ill see you here soon!
