Quad Videotape Group News and Pictures--Summer/Fall 2010 edition-- 
Section 6-Wrapping AMIA 2010-Almost

The View from the 33rd floor of Lowe's Philadelphia Hotel, en-route to  
the AMIA Closing Cocktail party, looking west into downtown just after  
the sun set.  The Philly DTV transmission antennas are on a hill to  
the left of this view.


LoC's James Snyder and former Ampex engineer Jim Wheeler at the  
cocktail party.


That was followed by Dinner at the City Tavern—where the founders held  
the first Fourth of July celebration.


I don't know what they talked about, but we had more wonderful food  
with a Colonial theme served by Colonially dressed wait staff,  
commensurate CC charges and conversation, not necessarily about Quad,  
but more about bits and data wrangling and what to do with the bits so  
they don't become digital kibble.

I think we closed this place, too, and enjoyed a nice walk back to the  
car.

Our group above wanted to know how David Crosthwait was doing on his  
drive back to California, so we sent a text message... and the next  
morning got a hand-held iPhone video labelled "poor man's Steadicam"  
and e-mail assuring our group here that everything was fine.

Back at the hotel... it was time to sleep in for an extra hour as the  
time shifted from Daylight to Standard time.

Next: Back to Culpeper!
