At 2008 Winter NAMM, Ted and I attended Guitar World Magazine’s annual dinner event. We look forward to this every year because the best meal that we are going to eat for the next four days can be had at this party and the coolest people in our industry are always the company we get to keep for the evening.
This last year, I was sitting at a table I found and next to me a conversation was taking place that I found interest in. I sort of joined the conversation on the outside ring and as the conversation progressed, I found myself in the company of some of the coolest people at Eventide. Ted wondered over to the table, for which we were all sitting, and we quickly our very own micro-party happening.
You would think that we would have talked business, the trade show, pitched the importance of our products, but instead, the conversation revolved around what appeared to be a common subject of interest: Our choices for best movies of all time and/ or most memorable scenes (We had other conversations, but this I remember most.).
Fight Club: We’ve all been raised on television to believe that one day we’d all be millionaires, and movie gods, and rock stars;
Bottle Rocket: Bob: Why is there tape on your nose?
Dignan: Exactly, (“Kah Koo”);
The philosophy behind the world of the Matrix, did the final Star Wars live up to hype or did it fail, Woody Allen famous quotes, and many other movie moments.
Art is about having expanded experiences and then making a point to share. When we do a good job we invite others to going deep, be a part of it and say, “yes, I totally get it.”
It is a multi media art world out there. Isn’t it cool to be a part of it?
Anyway, I look forward to seeing my friends again this year.
In the meantime, I was venturing into the world of youtube today, and found upon the web Eventide at last year’s NAMM Show showcasing their ModFactor. Here is our friend Alan. The interview and video are courtesy of Premier Guitar, so please visit more of their videos or visit their site.
I am going to share in the Daily Rant because, like I said, Eventide is our people, and because (best of all), they use our cables in their demos.
