We really didn't plan it this way, but this month's meeting, and this year's visit by Larry Bloomfield and A Taste of NAB Road Show, takes place on a rather significant date for folks on the TV side: June 12th. So what better way to celebrate analog TV's last full day than to get a free lunch and spend part of the day looking some of the best new stuff to come out of NAB?

Larry Bloomfield and his sponsors for this year's A Taste of NAB Road Show are buying lunch and bringing some the newest technology in the business to Albuquerque. This year's sponsor list includes Clark Wire & Cable, ESE, Ensemble Designs, VidCad? and many more. For a complete preview, check out Larry's website at http://www.tech-notes.tv/2009/14-Albuquerque.htm

We'll be meeting on Friday, June 12th at 11:30am at the studios of KMME-TV, 1130 University Avenue. Besides lunch, there will be presentations by the sponsoring vendors, lots of time for Q and A and some great door prizes.

So in between phone calls about DTV and the usual Friday stuff, sneak out for a free lunch courtesy of Larry Bloomfield and A Taste of NAB Road Show. Thanks to Larry, his crew and the Road Show sponsors for making Albuquerque part of their tour this year. And special thanks to Jim Gale, Franz Joachim and the good folks at KNME-TV for hosting this month's meeting.

See you on the 12th.
