If the past is any predictor of the future, you won't be there Last year,
we moved the event from the initial, tentative night to the one you
preferred at your insistence, and as a result, people who planned to attend
weren't able to do that.
It was held at a place that could easily accommodate your scooter, then, on
the appointed day, you bailed. Must have had something better going on than
supping and discussing things with us mere mortals. I seem to remember that
you also did basically the same dance the two other times I attended an
OpenDTV event, but it's possible that you were at the first event and I just
didn't trip over you. Heck, one year, it was just Steve, Craig and I.
You are trying to mislead everyone: last year, you asked me to give those
assembled your regrets. I won't respond to your jibes on this list, but
don't be surprised if I have a different posture in person. And, let's be
clear: I wasn't interested in buying your road show last year, and I won't
be interested in buying it this year either.
I can say that we didn't talk about you much last year, but everyone had a
good time, and ample opportunities to lead the conversation.
And, if you try that trick of asking me questions about transport streams,
PSIP/PSI, or even ATSC M/H so that you can evaluate a competitor's
offerings, I won't answer until paid in cash, in advance, at my customary
hourly rate (it's listed on my web site.) Even if you get angry and call my
cell phone 8 times in a row (like in August 2008) trying to get the last
word, I won't relent.I
I hadn't experienced a scene like that since junior high school, and it was
quite weird then. I think I also received the calls back then, but time
might have morphed that meme.
Note how you can taste a bit of the acid tongue while I am relating real
events in a rather neutral manner.
This should be fun!

Steve;
You mean they don't trust you with the whole thing? :-)
My preference would be Wed, but any night would work, and any place except
one with tongue on the menu would work. And, let's be sure to invite Larry
Bloomfield.

Want some suggestions?

Sounds like we'll miss some regulars at NAB this year. Hope we can still
get some dinner with those that remain. We'll certainly miss Craig who was
the linchpin. Perhaps Steve will still come (wink)?
