October 19th - 26th, 2008
It has been 9 years since our first National Meet in Hollywood and now 5 meets in, I am still amazed by the fact we manage to lure so many of our readers out to Los Angeles to take advantage of a full week touring studios, manufacturing, replication and authoring facilities.
Through Home Theater Forum I have been able to live out the dreams I have always had about coming out to Hollywood and stepping foot inside a studio. Nothing gives us greater pleasure than bringing the same dreams to life for those willing to join us on these events.
This year was by far the most successful meet we have had to date. As you look through the hundreds of pictures we have included on the following pages I think you will be just as much amazed by the overall experience as we were.
We need to give thanks to the studios and facilities that embraced our membership and gave us first-class treatment. Additionally, thanks needs to be given to SV SOUND, PANASONIC and CARADA SCREENS for the outstanding demo room that was set up at the Burbank Marriott.
Our thanks to the photographers who gave us permission to use their photos including Sam Posten, Patrick Sun, Raul Marquez and Justin Sluss (highdefdiscnews.com). Click on any of their names to be taken to additional photos on their FlickR site.
Finally, I need to give thanks to Adam Gregorich, for whom without his tireless efforts and skills in negotiating, this meet would not have been as grand.
We hope you enjoy the many pictures we have provided in this scrapbook accompanied by the words of those who attended the events. Thank you everyone!
