Program

With his "A Taste of NAB" road show, Larry Bloomfield travels around the country with a van full of goodies presenting his sponsor's products. Commercial pitch? Sure, but often he turns up a piece of technology you might have missed while you were a foot soldier in Vegas. Especially for those of us who couldn't make the NAB this year, Larry's show keeps us abreast of new technology with a hands-on view. Larry's sponsors are providing food and door prizes. Bring your business card-or make one up and bring it along!

Look for event details at www.tech-notes.tv/2007/02-Napa.htm or go to www.tech-notes.tv, click on "Taste of NAB", then "Itinerary", and then on Napa Valley College. The site includes a map to the campus. There will be signs from the parking lot to the show. Nominal start time is 10:00 AM.

Looking forward to seeing you there,

Bob McDonald
Chair, 2006-2007, SMPTE Student Chapter 11

Directions to Napa Valley College

If you're coming from the East Bay, take I-80 north through Vallejo. Look for the Solano County Fairgrounds and Marine World on your left.

Take the Marine World Parkway west exit (a right exit) over the freeway toward Marine World. Posted highway signs alternate between calling the road "Marine World Parkway" and "Columbus Parkway".

Continue past the Marine World turn-off until you reach Sonoma Blvd. (Hwy 29). Turn right heading North. Some signs may identify it as the "Napa-Vallejo Highway".

If you're coming from Marin via US 101, simply take Hwy 37 to Hwy 29 (Sonoma Blvd.) Turn Left heading North. Don't take any of the shortcuts along the way unless you know them really well; it's easy to get lost. Just stay on Hwy 37 until you get to Sonoma Blvd. (Hwy 29) and make a left (north)..

Once on Hwy 29, when you pass the American Canyon exit, the road will split; with a branch going to the left, Hwy 12, but you continue straight ahead on the Napa-Vallejo Hwy 221.

You'll pass a park on your left and beyond; beyond it, also on the left, is Napa Valley College.

Follow the signs for the college. If you get to Imola Ave., you've gone too far.

Once on campus, take the first right and head toward the parking lot at the north end of the campus. (There will be SMPTE signs to direct you.) Parking permits aren't enforced on Saturdays.

Near the buildings, you'll find three flag poles close together along the edge of the parking lot. Walk between the flagpoles until you see building 1200 on the right. That's the theater building. We'll be just to the left of it. We'll have signs and people out there to direct you.
