Okay, here is the announcement with some details:
Damn, it really is our 5th one in 6 years!
WHAT?
A bunch of filmmaking/artist types come to Vegas, for 3 days (sometimes 8!), to mingle, eat, drink and share knowledge.
WHEN?
Memorial Day weekend - May 22nd-24th.
WHERE?
Mike and Sheila Conway's house, in N/W Las Vegas. (PM me for the address.)
COST? No charge, but last year's donations to cover the snacks/meals were deeply appreciated.
(Getting started)
(2008's roasted Marshmallow fight)
WHAT HAPPENS?
You can attend and watch movies/demos, while roasting marshmallows (see above pic) Better yet, get involved. Bring your short film (20 minutes or less) and we'll play it between or after features. Do you know about distribution or entertainment law? Talk about it. Present a demo. Past demos have included:
Airsoft/Blank firearms
Greenscreen shooting
3D Imaging
Making squibs
Silicone molds
Making blood
Makeup application
Music for film
Synthesizer basics
Cameras
Stunt fighting
Production, etc.
Please keep topics under 20 minutes. This year, there will be an exception, as we will light, shoot, edit and apply post-fx to a scene, which covers several topics.
SCHEDULE OF EVENTS:
FRIDAY
6pm - Hors D' Oeuvres, meet and greet.
8:00pm - Feature movie, EXILE

5pm to 9pm - Barbecue/pool party at Sheila's mom's house (nearby).

The economy is dictating some very reasonable prices on rooms.
NEAREST LODGING:
Santa Fe Station
TEXAS STATION
Fiesta Rancho
All 3 on Rancho Drive. (All within 4 to 5 miles.) Additionally:

Every time I think I might be able to make it and then can't. I'm still looking at logistics.
And where is McClure? Probably trying to do something like work and make money and feed his kids, the ethical bastard.
Do you have a PayPal thing to kick in some dough

Sure. If you want to donate to help us with food costs, select Paypal's "Send Money" option and have it go to midnightsunent@aol.com Just write "IndieMeet", in the comment section.
If you are a Vegan (no, not Las Vegan!) - veggie eater, don't send money because we'll just take you to the store to get whatever your dietary needs are.

Yes! How would you feel about being cloned and bitching yourself out?

Do you honestly want two of me hanging around the house? Might be dangerous.

Two of you, after one Greg Parker is a cinch!  He talks more than both of you.

Who me?
yeah, I'm still alive... Ohio pretty much hit the nail with "work and make money and feed his kids"... among other unpleasant things, but...
I would really like to go to the Indiemeet and am trying to see if I can get the days off of work, find a babysitter, etc etc...
There's still time, so i might be able to work it out.
Mike - miss you too Bro!
Ohio - BE THERE!
LW - I know you're lurking... make it this time! k?

| Well of course you can definitely count me in! I don't know if I'll have a trailer or some scenes from our movie: "The Back Room" but I'll let you know! |

Tim, I've always appreciated your enthusiasm and support for IndieMeet. Thankyou!!
Yes, you should, at the very least, work up a teaser for your project.

Hey Mike, are you going to have a raffle or give things away? Cause I have an idea for something I could donate.

Okie dokie... I'll put something together... ideas are flowing.
I won't be able to go this year so if Richard can get the time off from work, I can babysit the kids. 
Just call me Aunt Bee. LOL
