Well..when i got back from BC with Chriss and Hobbes i was invited to meet in person Lee Stringer and Ron Thorton...now for those who have been living under a rock for the last 15 years, Ron is basicaly responsible for taking CG to Sci-Fi on TV. he was the lead SFX on Babylon 5. now for Lee Stringer, you know him for Firely and BSG from Zoic and also a LOT of trek stuff from DS9 and Voyager. BUt he basicaly came up with BSG's style of FX, until it was messed up realy.

SO, i got a call from lee telling me he was in Vermont with Ron working on Ron's plane, SO, got in my car and drove to meet them, a short 1.15hrs drive to the airport in Vermont, but got stock 3.5hrs at the Customs. Those SOBs were stopping EVERYONE..that was JUST nuts.

Anyway..a few picts i took there.

why do you always have your arms crossed on fotos? It's like "don't touch me".

You all definately have the "don't mess with us" look

Are you a pilot yourself Al, or just an enthusiast? Friend of mine is an engineer at CAE, installing/testing $30M flight simulators, and is always flying around locally.

We're going to go to the Quebec Airshow next summer I'm pretty sure. We were there about 4 years ago. Saw the Thunderbirds, and a boat-load of other cool stuff (F-18s, A-10s, C-5 Galaxy, etc). Can't get enough of this!!

Tell us: They called you to invite you into some super secret, uber cool new SFX project didnt they. Go on, admit it!!
