I think everyone has seen this by now, but if you haven't, check out the Edward James Olmos speech from Dragon*Con.

If you weren't there, you REALLY missed out. This was one of the greatest fandom moments ever.

You can watch this video on www.livejournal.com

This was fabulous, I felt as if I was on the flight deck.
*sigh* ah the memories....

Yeah, just watching it again gets me all goose-bumpy :)

*sigh* What a blast that was.

I'm so glad to see Athena spliced the cameras together. I get weak every time I think about the fact that what began as a little bullshit hobby of mine has led to something like this.

Hell, I just think it's awesome that someone documented this. What a night!

BTW, I can probably be of some assistance next year. My knowledge is a bit dated, but I was a production tech for a couple years at a local ABC affiliate in the early 90's. Logged MANY, MANY hours with a betacam on my shoulder, so let me know if you need a good grip! ;)

I will definitely keep that in mind. That's really cool that you have production experience. One of the things about TCF that amazes me the most is how much creative ability everyone has.

Next year, for something like that, I'd murder to have a tap off the house mixer to run to my camera.
