DC GATHERING February 8th, 2003

We had a great b-roll.net GATHERING on February 8, 2003 at the Brickskeller Saloon in Washington, DC. We filled up a couple of tables with b-rollers from around the area and their significant others. The conversation was a blast, but the 895 varieties of beer posed a definite challenge in deciding what to drink.

[Front L to R] Andy "focusthis" Grossman, Bryan "btsatman" Tulwits, Kurt "2gigch1" Brooks; [back] Charlie "EvilMedia" Hatfield, Trista "pictureperfect", Kevin "b-roll" Johnson, Bill "wideangle" Griffitts
[Thanks to Kurt for sending me this group picture.]

I know a few people couldn't make it for one reason or another, and the bar filled up and sent some people away, so we will have do do this again. I would like to thank everyone who traveled to see us in DC... it was a great time.

The next scheduled GATHERING will be in Las Vegas during this years NAB conference. The location is still up in the air, but mark your calendars for Tuesday night, April 8, 2003 somewhere near the convention.

After that we plan to do another event around the Baltimore, MD area.

Trista met "THE BRAD," a patron of the bar who believed he was THE MAN. She had to get her picture taken with him, because she couldn't stop laughing.

Terry and Andy Grossman enjoying a few "mini" pints... it's easier to lose track of numbers with small glasses.

Bill Griffitts and his lovely wife Debbie partied with us 'til almost closing time, even though they had a 45 minute drive home.

Mariella and Kevin Johnson - Mari does television graphics, so she's not a b-roll GIRL... but she could be! (I, on the other hand, look very drunk)

If you'd like to set up a b-roll.net GATHERING in your town, e-mail me and we'll help you get the word out. If I can find a way, I'll be there to drink with you...

See you next time!
