PhotoshopCAFE @ PSW 09
Read this on the blog andleave comment
We are almost fully recovered from Photoshop World, and what a time we had. Sure there were the parties, after all it is Vegas, but the highlights for us were the PhotoshopCAFE Freemont Street Photowalk and getting to meet all of you cafe crew out there. There was no shortage of enthusiasm at the convention or on the trade show floor. We were lucky to have many of our authors teach right at the booth. Tim Cooper gave us some tips on how to take better Photos, Stephen Burns was on hand with his special brand of Photoshop Artistry. Jeff Foster revealed his animation secrets, and Wes Magio gave us some pointers for getting the most out of a Wacom tablet. It was the first time we brought so many authors out to a show, but it wont be the last.
We were very lucky to not only have such talent speak at the booth, but we had incredible talent working the booth. These guys really out did them selves this time, a special thank you to them, and to the PhotoshopCafe community for making this such a successful show for us. If you were not be to make it out to this one, we hope to see you at another show. These days it is rare to have such an incredible learning experience while having a blast as well.

I don't know about the rest of you, but I'm still trying to recover.
Vegas wears me out
To all who have never attended, you have to go sometime and hang out. Everyone from the Cafe is amazing. You can't ask for a better family.

Those photos came out awesome! I will write my review of PSW when I get some sleep and energy, an "8 hour" flight really takes it out of you.
Although I will say it was nice meeting up with familiar faces and some new ones too. Man I love the Cafe family and every year PhotoshopCafe steps up to the challenge of "do one better", this year was no exception... more on that later.

Hey Colin and everyone else,
I finally got home late last night and am happy to report that after Laura got there and we upgraded to a jacuzzi suite my feet/legs feel almost normal. We rode the rollercoaster at NYNY and it was cool although not nearly as scary as a real NYC taxi ride.
All I can say for now is that I had a great time hanging with you guys, the demos at the booth rocked and the whole experience was really fun and inspirational. I wish I'd had more time to spend getting to know you all more. I really enjoyed talking with those I could with such limited time and I look forward to more.
Thanks for the invite and the goodies!

My Photoshop 3D with the glasses seemed to be a hit. We gave out over a hundred pairs of glasses in less than 15 minutes and drew people away from Scott Kelby doing a live demo (with cameras rolling on him) in a booth one aisle over. ;)
Also - I've had a lot of comments about the T-shirt since I left PSW - people at Adobe MAX liked it as have people in random stores, etc.
That's all I have for now - Jeff
