UCR Eaton Science Fiction Conference. "Chronicling Mars" May 16-18
Video, although not much - I wasn't really paying attention. Sorry.

Do I have to get Nard's permission to post him singing, I wonder?

I really have to become a vampire so that my image cannot be filmed. Oh wait, that only works with silver nitrate film stock.

Doug Spaulding~ Thanks for cutting my songfest short! Hoswever, thanks in general for the video. Hope you took more. The banter between Ray and Fred Pohl is great!

PatR~ Wonderful photo display of all the stuff that made up the conference. Professional job all around.

jkt~ You were not aware that it didn't work with digital formats?

I hope that wasn't a plastic wine glass Mr. B had!
And isn't there any audio of our board buds?

It was.

No audio. I'll do better next time.

Doug Spaulding~

What? You can't read lips?

Are you saying no one recorded anything of the talk that Phil Nichols (philnic) and Eric (Mr. Dark) gave at the conference? Say it ain't so.

The conference people recorded the whole event, picture and sound. Although I think it's just for the archives, not for publication.

The image of Ray that was projected behind him on the stage was a direct feed from the camera that recorded the whole conference.

Hey, Doug Spaulding, I just watched that video clip. Amazed to see that you caught me sitting and listening to Ray talking to (or about) Fred Pohl.

Even more amazed to see that I spend the entire clip grinning (or grimacing).

That reminds me, I have a couple of tiny clips of Ray's talk. I must upload them.

We RBers do a lot of grinning over here!

I was too far back for that - some of us got the good seats!

Here's one of them. Terrible camera, poor sound. Gathered very much as an afterthought, using the video facility on my stills camera:

Mr. Dark
I wish I had done this. Thanks for posting. Do you miss the Southern California experience, yet?

Those are wonderful, thank you so much for posting them. To say that I am a bit jealous would be understatement of Herculean proportions...

Congrats!
