[QuadList] Third Annual Quad Videotape Group "The Reel Thing" gathering in Los Angeles:

Sun Aug 21 11:03:19 CDT 2011

Gary, thanks for trying.

I know Lee Williams sent an off-list message that he would be there.

We expect to be in LA in the next several weeks, and may arrange  
another gathering when there's certainty to be had.

Perhaps you'd like to host a meetup at IBC? in September  I can send a  
QuadReel for you to take  :D
