TravelWork After some quiet days in San Diego, I left on Tuesday to take the train to Los Angeles and go to the SIGGRAPH conference. Soon after I got to my hotel, Don Mitchell ../../../Sabbat/08.14-20.01CA-LA//P8140001 called and we had a long chat in the hotel bar where they were not serving, so things were quiet. Then we headed over to the convention center where we met Pat Hanrahan. ../../../Sabbat/08.14-20.01CA-LA//P8140002 I went off and encountered Greg Humphreys (Humper) ../../../Sabbat/08.14-20.01CA-LA//P8140003 Wim Sweldems (who was about to get on the redeye back to NJ) ../../../Sabbat/08.14-20.01CA-LA//P8140004 Emil Praun ../../../Sabbat/08.14-20.01CA-LA//P8140005 and Peter Schroeder. ../../../Sabbat/08.14-20.01CA-LA//P8140006 Then, Ben Shedd appeared ../../../Sabbat/08.14-20.01CA-LA//P8140007 and someone took my picture. ../../../Sabbat/08.14-20.01CA-LA//P8140008 After capturing Lee Markosian, ../../../Sabbat/08.14-20.01CA-LA//P8140009 it was time to gather for the bowling event. Perry was there ../../../Sabbat/08.14-20.01CA-LA//P8140010 as were Tom ../../../Sabbat/08.14-20.01CA-LA//P8140011 and Szymon. ../../../Sabbat/08.14-20.01CA-LA//P8140012 Allison Klein was trying on her shirt, ../../../Sabbat/08.14-20.01CA-LA//P8140013 Georg Essl was looking for his ../../../Sabbat/08.14-20.01CA-LA//P8140014 and Adam ../../../Sabbat/08.14-20.01CA-LA//P8140015 insisted on taking pictures of me, front ../../../Sabbat/08.14-20.01CA-LA//P8140016 and back. ../../../Sabbat/08.14-20.01CA-LA//P8140017 Tom Sanocki was welcoming Lena Petrovic ../../../Sabbat/08.14-20.01CA-LA//P8140018 to Pixar as Wagner Correa watched. On the way back to the hotel, I ran into Robert McDermott ../../../Sabbat/08.14-20.01CA-LA//P8140019 and his family. Because of the energy crisis, the restaurant that night was fairly dark and so it wasn't possible to capture the meal or even the outrageous bill on film.
