Tuesday Meet-Greet-And-Drink Pix!

Tuesday Night at Siggraph- Boston:



Before we went to our Meet and Greet at McCormick and Schmick's Tuesday night, Jamie and I had not eaten all day and so we headed for the first restaurant that looked like they made stiff drinks and good food! We walked over to Maggiano's Italian restaurant and man it was so good!

The waitress - Rachel was really nice and put up with our criticism of the bartender's skills. She also could not believe that Jamie wanted a bowl of minestrone soup when it was 100 degrees outside!

Our waitress Rachel was a very patience woman.

We even took pix of our food!

Jamie had the spaghetti...

Angie had the crab cakes - OMG!

They were so good Jamie counted Angie saying "oh my god" 7 times!

Then we had to get back to the rooms and freshen up quickly before the Meet and Greet BOF downstairs at McCormicks and Schmick's. We walked into the restaurant at 8 p.m. and were so surprised to see an old friend there. Craig Maras!!!!

Angie and Craig at the Meet and Greet.

Angie worked with Craig on Stuart Little 2 and Jamie with Craig on Mulan. Craig is an amazingly talented artists who left film for video games for a while hoping for some stability. He has since left EA and relocated to Boston and surprised Angie and Jamie by driving down. Angie was so happy to see Craig and cannot say enough good things about him. He is a genuinely funny person and and a real original talent!

Javier Solsona and Angie hanging out.

Javier Solsona rigged our clown character - Redd - for the book. Angie has known Javier for about 10-11 years now and he is another talent that we both have a lot of respect for. He is one of those people who understands fully the technical aspects and the artistry to computer graphics. We love you Javier!

Kevin Harreld, Darin Hofmeyr and J Griffin stopped by to have a drinkie-poo.

Kevin Harreld is Executive Editor at Thomson Publishing and we are so glad he stopped by M & S to have a drink. In fact, he bought our drinks!!! Thanks Kevin!!

Darin Hoffmeyr and J Griffin are both working animators who also came by to share in the fun. Darin was the one who convinced us to spread the word about our little meeting to the CG-CHar list and J Griffith has known Angie for years and is set up at Turner in Atlanta. So glad to meet you two guys - keep on animating and telling great stories!

There were many others at the BOF, but as the drinks flowed the camera was used less and less. So thanks to everyone for stopping by...time to get some rest because we have to do it all over again tomorrow!

Party Last Night

Angie here-
So, the party went off incredibly and we would like to thank everyone who came out on a school night to attend. We know how difficult it is to go out after a 10 hour day slaving over a light table or computer screen and we really appreciate the support. The dancers and clowns were a big hit and over 400 people attended. We will have video and pictures up real soon for those of you who couldn't make it. Thanks again for all of your incredible support. Jamie and I are working on a seminar that will start sometime in the Fall and we hope you all will come check it out! Until then keep on animating and telling great stories!
