AOL Slideshow &/or drinks in Phoenix (Jan16-17th)

[gjackson]

I know some had expressed interest in my Africa slideshow. I'll be in Phoenix next week, and if any would like to get together for the slides or just for drinks and talk, I'd be up for it. I'll be staying at a hotel close to the airport.

Can do it either the evening of the 16th or 17th depending on what works.

Let me know the interest level, because that will determine how much equipment I bring.

I'd be happy to offer a conference room in Old Town Scottsdale at my office when I get back from Vegas on the 17th if it's after-hours (5:30pm+)? It's shouting distance to many happy hour places.

 

[gjackson]

Scott,

That would be really cool. If there is interest let's arrange that. Otherwise I'm game for meeting at one of those happy hour places!

cheers

I might be able to make that work. I will be in Scottsdale on the 17th and 19th-21st.

Well damn, my office is in the same complex as all the hotels at the airport and my house is in old town Scottsdale.

I'll probably be able to swing a couple drinks.

If all agreeable (and before I head out of town), the office location is:

4343 N. Scottsdale Rd. #260
Scottsdale, AZ 85251

There's a public parking garage on the east side, only 6'8" headroom though. Suite 260.

Sweet! Thanks for that Scott. Let's make it the 17th. Any time preferable for people? Anytime after 5 is fine with me. I won't have much to do after work. Have to grab dinner at some point, but sounds like there may be plenty of places for that.

cheers

Holy cow. Why aren't I allowing you to treat me to lunch during the week? My office is at 5111 N. Scottsdale Road. You and I are probably stealing company time on ExPo while exactly a mile apart.

Shortly after 5:00 is absolutely perfect, Graham. I can't wait to see this and meet you.

I'm in. Is this in the old galleria?

Sorry to miss this opportunity to meet you Graham and see the show.
:REOutArchery02: I will be out of state those dates.

Given Scotts post, let's make it 5:30. I'll check to see who's in tomorrow evening and post final arrangements then. So far:

Graham
Scott
Mark
Scott B
Seth

Am I missing anyone?

Desertdude, sorry we'll miss each other.

cheers

Okay, it looks like there will be 3 people for the slideshow, so I won't bring my projector and all that jazz. We can crowd around my laptop and watch on screen. Be all cozy and friendly that way.

cheers!

Are we still in the conference room at Scott's office in Scottsdale? (that looks funny now that I've typed it.)

5:30?

I'm looking forward to this!

Cheers,
Mark

 

[gjackson]

Yes we are.

cheers

 

[gjackson]

Sorry, I realized I wasn't very clear.

Final plans:
Wednesday the 17th at 5:30pm
4343 N Scottsdale Road #260
Scottsdale AZ 85251

The slideshow takes about 1.5 hrs, but can be made longer / shorter as people desire. Since it will be a small group it should be pretty fun. I will bring my projector just for fun, but not the iBook, so it will be a little low tech. (Curses XP!!!)

cheers

Hey Graham,

If you guys don't mind squeezing in another person count me in. I'm down in Scottsdale and I would love to see the slide show.
