[QuadList] Third Annual Quad Videotape Group "The Reel Thing" gathering in Los Angeles: Lunch, Saturday, Aug. 20, 2011

[lee williams]

Hey Ted, 
Thanks for the info. 

I will be there on the 20th for the lunch. 

I would gladly spring for a good steak dinner if anybody could show me how to do an alignment on a VR1200. 

Thanks 

Lee

Hardly seems that a year has gone by and it's time for another "The Reel Thing in Hollywood... and what's become an annual Quad Videotape Group gathering in the LA area.
Here's the basics:When:	Lunch break, Saturday, Aug. 20, 2011.Gather:	Outside front entrance to: Academy of Motion Picture Arts and SciencesPickford Center1313 North Vine St.Hollywood, CA	90028
Landmark:	Look for someone holding 			a faded Memorex Chroma 90 reel 			that looks like this:
1313 North Vine is the former Don Lee/KHJ-TV (and one-time CBS facility) from the early years of television.
Gary Adams from DaVinci's Revival platform and I have been doing this for three years, now, and have been joined for lunch or dinner by an interesting mix of folks, including Al Sturm, co-founder of the late Merlin Engineering Works and still active in Quad VTR improvement. 
Spontaneous gatherings of Quad-centric folks have occurred during various lunch or dinner breaks at "The Reel Thing" and we'll post a message to the list if something pops up.  
Last year, we had a dinner gathering of a number of folks with Quad roots... and had a very good time eating Mexican food up the street in the Arclight Theater food court.
Here's some detail about the Association of Moving Image Archivists' sponsored "The Reel Thing XXVII" in case you're interested in attending:http://www.amianet.org/events/thereelthing/2011/program.htm
Among the highlights:
The Reel Thing opens on Thursday, August 18th with a reception and the premiere screening of the 4k restoration of 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, plus ...EYE Film Institute Netherlands Restoration and Screening ofShoes (USA 1916)Case study: 4K restoration and premiere screening of Marcel Carné's The Children of ParadiseManaging Large Scale Sound PreservationScanning for Preservation, a Studio test caseWhere Did Our Films Go? - The Destruction and Survival of American Silent Feature FilmsCase study: Reconstruction and restoration of long-lost Ernst Lubitsch silent film The Loves of PharoahThe Media History Digital Library - Digitizing the history of cinemaAudio restoration challenges: silent films converted to soundThe ABC's of Color SpaceRestoring the 1902 Georges Méliès classic Le Voyage dans la Lune (includes screening)Sneak Preview of a newly restored film!The Friday and Saturday sessions are followed by an evening screening of a complete film,
