Cleveland Meeting Part 1

[P3D Karen Obusek <markaren@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello all! Yes I'm the guy from Pittsburgh who drove to Cleveland to
attend the stereo meeting
( Dr. T's calculation ETA 1hr 50min.....actual ETA....2hrs 25min)
probably a result of strong headwinds since half of Cleveland was
driving into Pgh. for the Indian game. Upon completing 
the laborous admissions paperwork, and receiving the membership patch,
it was suggested that the "HELLO MY NAME IS......"
patch be proudly displayed on my right shirt pocket. Since I had posted
many a sarcastic quips on this list before, I wrote very small. Upon
meeting Dr. T and expressing my disgruntle over ETA miscalculations, and
of course being a member in " good standing" (just
paid the membership fee and small donation)
I was able to amicably settle under the table resulting in Dr. T's
inventory depletion of 50 albion mounts and some heat seals. " I wonder
how long it's going to take me to get home?"
A simple statement that netted me some cardboard foldovers as well.
Members jostled
for the " aligned" seating which was not left to chance as Dr. T
cleverly selected a room that lent itself to projection quite nicely.
Being new to stereo, my perception skills may need honed but I'd say the
room was 8ft X 100ft...ideal for the presentation! Dr. T began the
meeting with a program outline on the overhead projector, and in my
anxious excitement to experience my first projected 3-D image, sported
the Ernie Douglas reissue polarized glasses and................nothing
happened. For some reason I believed Dr. T would have cleverly created a
3-D transparancy for the overhead projector, concocted some excuse as to
why it would not focus, and I would be the first to discover his
surprise 3-D trick! Quickly removing the glasses and looking
around...only one person shook their head in disgust...not too
bad.....that beats public humiliation! I'll just embarrass myself one
person at a time! After the itinerary, the 3-D
follows.............................
