KevinCrawford Posted December 18, 2012 Report Posted December 18, 2012 Hi Paul, I too, am an SF State BECA grad who mixes sound. It'd be great to get together for beers with all of you and catch up. Save me a seat! Looking forward to this. Quote
seth Posted December 18, 2012 Report Posted December 18, 2012 Oh max that's a bummer I hear that place sucks! Kevin! Quote

Philip Perkins Posted December 21, 2012 Report Posted December 21, 2012 I appear to have employment of the "beat-me-up" variety that day, so I can't make it. Bottle-up for me! philp Quote
Sound Art Film Posted January 3, 2013 Author Report Posted January 3, 2013 Hi all! Please note the location for the Sound Mixer's Mixer has changed to Amsterdam Cafe in San Francisco. The location was switched due to booking and cost requirements at Thirsty Bear. No problem though! I believe we got an awesome venue at Amsterdam Cafe. They have over 200 beers, great ambience and the owner Kellie has warmly welcomed our event. The deatails for the event are all in the original post at the top of the page. Please feel free to contact me if anyone has any questions or comments! Hope to see you all there, Paul Quote
Keenan925 Posted January 9, 2013 Report Posted January 9, 2013 Hey Paul, I'll send an email out to some of my other friends but I should be there Keenan Quote
Peter Deutscher Posted January 9, 2013 Report Posted January 9, 2013 Will be good to see you Keenan Tell Dan and the others to come out Quote
Sound Art Film Posted January 9, 2013 Author Report Posted January 9, 2013 Hey Keenan, Good to hear you can make it out! I am anticipating it will be a lot of fun. See you all soon! Paul Quote
Sound Art Film Posted January 9, 2013 Author Report Posted January 9, 2013 Awesome! I am a huge fan of Sound & Picture and I really enjoy reading the interviews with Produciton Mixers! Thanks for giving it the bump and I hope it does become a yearly event too. All the best, Paul Quote
Sound Art Film Posted January 10, 2013 Author Report Posted January 10, 2013 Hi all! Just one more day to go before our Mixer tomorrow! I have been in recent contact with Kellie at Amsterdam Cafe and have been notified that we can also bring our own food. She has even offered for us to use their kitchen! I am very appreciative for having such an inviting contact to work with at Amsterdam Cafe. Due to the brevity of the meeting, I don't advise bringing any food to cook, but if anyone wanted to bring some snacks, that would be good. At first I was going to BBQ some chicken up for us, but decided against it because to be honest, shaking people's hands and having BBQ sauce on your face probably isn't the best way to meet and greet ( or maybe it is, what do I know!?! ). Instead, I will be bringing some chips, crackers and several dips for everyone to enjoy. As noted above, feel free to bring whatever you would like. All that is required is I.D., good attitude and a palate for beer. See you all soon! Paul Quote
seth Posted January 12, 2013 Report Posted January 12, 2013 Great meeting everyone last night. I Enjoyed the camaraderie of the group. Quote
Jim Feeley Posted January 12, 2013 Report Posted January 12, 2013 Sorry I didn't make it. Hopefully next time! Any pictures or other incriminating evidence to share? Quote
PTA Posted January 13, 2013 Report Posted January 13, 2013 Great meeting everyone last night. I Enjoyed the camaraderie of the group. Agreed! It was great to finally meet people that I've only talked to online. Quote
Sound Art Film Posted January 13, 2013 Author Report Posted January 13, 2013 Thanks for coming out everyone! It really was great to meet everybody. We have an awesome group of Sound Mixers in the Bay Area. Everyone was really friendly, open and fun to share stories and experiences with. I definitely agree, there was a good sense of camaraderie about. By the time the last of us left, it was almost ten o' clock...not too shabby for an event that was scheduled for only two hours (total of 5 hours)! A special thanks goes out to Kellie as well at Amsterdam Cafe. It was a great Venue for this event and the staff at the Cafe were kind and prompt. Even the other patrons at the venue were friendly and well mannered! I recommend the place to anyone looking for a mellow hang out to enjoy a good beer. The turn out for this event was better than I initially expected and I am looking forward to the next mixer. Several attendees voiced for a repeat meeting and I believe this would make a great annual event. And to all those that couldn't make it this time around, hopefully with enough of an advanced notice, we can find a way to have you all make it. The more ther merrier! I will be posting pictures of the event tomorrow and in addition, will be sending pictures to Sound&Picture. Stay tuned! A big thanks to Pro-Sound and Sound&Picture for supplying us with great beanies, shirts and stickers! Take care fellow Mixers and have a great 2013! Best, Paul Quote
