AES San Francisco Gearslutz dinner photos / report thread

[Jules]

I will be posting up photos when I get back home. (I am spending a week here in SF with the wife, taking in this sights and the fine dining available!)

I thought the food and service were both great.

The company was obviously excellent!

I sat with the Benchmark crew. Then mingled later with Dave Pensado and Charles Dye, Fletcher, Bob Olsson and a bunch of other cool people .

Brad Blackwood and Nathan held court on a long table.

Johnathan Little of Little Labs & Fletcher were on another.

we packed the Joint!

Several of us wound up at the Manley party later that eve - THANKS EVE ANNA!

Good times!

I forgot to take the damn camera, but the memory will last forever, it was nice to meet those I did meet, sorry I did not get around every one, and yes, the free beer at the Manley Party was most excellent, thanks Eve Anna!

I'll try to help with the who's who at this one, with forensic memory assistance from Mr. Blackwood:

On the left side: Valkyrie Sound (Sherri), Dave Bryce, Me, Duende (Alex), Scott Lillo (of Crane Song) and Richard D (helping w/Pendulum) ..

On the right side: pale-ale-sippin David R., Andrew (of Digital Domain), Casey, Xopher, Vince P (of Speck), Brad "None-More" Blackwood, Mr. Barefoot, and at the end is Greg Gualtieri from Pendulum.

Of course.. this picture is so clear and detailed, that you can all tell who's who anyway, right?

Randy or someone, you need to download Jule's pics and hit em up with yer photoshop skillz. Lighten those puppies up! I only mention Randy cuz I've seen that he fixes pics on here sometimes.

[djui5]

I got 2 of them a little better....

But the rest.........I'm not that great with photoshop........and the pixelation is so bad......can't seem to make any improvements......so I'm posting the 2 I lightened up.


Here's one

And another

Sweet, thanks Randy. Seems like if one had Jules' original source files they may come a little more clear, but I don't know much about photo files.

Maybe...depends on what compression he did to post em here....if any..

They might just be scanned images of pictures taken with a "one time use" camera......which is what I'd bet on.

Here are the images with some level adjustment. There's no quick way of getting rid of the noise (without losing the details), though. And you can't really sharpen an image with that much noise. Sorry about that.

Thanks guys these were Casio Exslim photos in low light... I had photoshoped them already to auto color balance, then used 'save for web'

Photo shoping the photoshop?!!

Plug in overload?

Do we need a 'warming' plug in?

[warhead]

I can barely see us...but it was a very cool night! Thanks again Jules! When did you get home?
