Flashforward2004 and the Flash(tm) Film Festival
The New Yorker Hotel, New York
July 7-9, 2004
<http://www.flashforwardconference.com>

Dear Friends and Alumni:

Just a personal note to remind you that another amazing Flashforward
conference is coming soon and to share a few of the email "teasers" we have
received from some of our first-rate presenters coming to New York City
July 7-9. Thought you might enjoy the sneak peek:

"Have you ever seen figures generated by Flash? You can not believe your
eyes until you come to our New York session."
- Jungwon Lee, PostVisual.com

"I'm going to reveal in New York my winning secrets to at LEAST one of the
following: getting sculpted movie-star abs in 10 days, painless bikini
waxing the Kirby way, how to banish embarrassing body odor GUARANTEED... and
mind-blowing no-nonsense Flash-to-Video transfer. Hurry! Act now! Supplies
are limited!"
- Ian Kirby, Brokensaints

"I'm going to present our GAME, but we are not playing. It's just the way we
work and have fun, while still meeting our customers' needs on time and on
budget."
- Giovanni Simeone, Vianet

"Computers before Internet = applications before multiuser"
- Colin Moock, moock.org

"Last year a delegate said that I was like a 'big thought lozenge' and
'could suck on me all day!'"
- Brendan Dawes, magneticNorth

"ActionScript 2. You can take the blue pill, stay home ... and believe
whatever you want. Or, you can take the red pill and I'll show you just how
far the rabbit hole goes."
- Jim Armstrong, 2112 F/X

"The greatest thing I have gained from Flashforward these past years is an
overwhelming sense of wonder and inspiration, and I now hope to bring a
small bit of that myself to share with the next generation of flash
designers."
- Jason McGuigan, BigBuzz

"The world is waiting to be converted into loops for easy download. Do we
need a pre-loader for the pre-loader? Why don't TV remotes have a 'skip
intro' button? Yeah, I thought so."
- Garrett Nantz, Big Spaceship

"I will use my session to present some tried and true tips and tricks for
managing your business. I promise you will learn at least one thing that you
will be able to use the following Monday when you get back to the office."
- Mark Sylvester, Mixed Grill

"The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable man
persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress
depends on the unreasonable man."
-George Bernard Shaw (a favorite quote sent in by Nader Nejat, Omega Media)
