Baier and I got back from Augusta that Sunday night shortly after midnight. 14 hours later we were on a plane to Vegas for
NAB. Following the Hartsfield Airport Councourse A Bar Crawl, we got into Vegas shortly after nine, met up with
Travers, hit the tables, drank beer for several hours, then got up six hours later to head to the big
assed show. I mean BIG
ASSED SHOW!
Panasonic's big
assed plasma was one of the first things we saw. It really was a BIG
ASSED PLASMA! And it looked
freakin' amazing even though they were only showing safari videos.
My favorite part of the show is always the new trucks. Every photographer in the country that went to the show raved of
WRAL's big blue one up there. It was one of the better
Frontline trucks there. I'm loyal to
Frontline since it's the only truck I've ever used, plus the rep's a good dude and brings new trucks to town when he has one.
My favorite truck was this Evolution sat buggy from
TEC. A Ford Escape Hybrid with serious
uplinking power. An inverter and satellite controller filled up the back hatch and you could drive all over the country without anyone knowing you could blast a
broadcast quality hole through the atmosphere with your Ford Escape. That's
badass. Unfortunately the
TEC sales dude started his pitch by ripping other truck companies. That's a pet peeve of mine so
Baier and I moved along.
115,000 geeks attended this year's show. I can't even begin to describe how big this show is. It filled three convention center halls. Two floors each and had so much neat shit in there we could have easily spent five days looking at stuff, never getting bored.
