LDI 2008 Vegas anybody?

You can also have your beverage of choice in your hand within seconds of class being over.

Minutes perhaps, but not seconds, as the LVCC-South Hall is about as far away from the Hilton's casino (sans Star Trek Experience) as one can get.

Most attendees mourn the fact that LDI-LV is no longer held at the Sand's Expo Center, adjacent to the Venetian and now Palazzo.

Re: LDI Saturday Meetup

Hey Keith, will there be Gum for everyone?

I'll do my best to accommodate all your dentists' worst nightmares....

I am missing LDI this year, yet again, sure to tech. I will definately be going to USITT this year.

For all of those who will be attending LDI, ENJOY! I am envious.

Rigger and I are taking classes at KA on Thursday... so it is actually only seconds from class to a Bar and Casino.

Yep, there's a bar ajacent to the lobby of the theater. If you go out the back door into the casino, you are a few feet closer than that!

Hi,

I'm posting this as a favor to one of the organizers of LDI:

Anyone looking for a free lunch at LDI? Actually you have to "sing for your supper" a bit.. we are looking for some volunteers to help out at the Live Design magazine booth during LDI...
October 24-26... we'll be happy to feed you lunch, offer you a 50% discount on our Projection Master Classes at LDI (October 21-23, including a ticket to the new Criss Angel show at Cirque du Soleil...) and you could sit in on a few conference sessions as part of the deal...

I just got an email today, all the voluteer positions are full.

Cool. I can now stop hiding behind this Genie lift, hoping no one will see me....
