We had a nice omelet breakfast in the hotel then reported for judging at 8:00 I was assigned to a panel with Judy Carter judging the semi minis. I really enjoyed it. After judging I went with John and Judy to Frys to look for a VGA to HDMI adapter. Found one that needed a female to female connector which didn't work very well when I hooked it up. I ended up going directly from the adapter to the camera. We stopped with John and Judy at In-Out burger for a nice lunch of burgers and fries. In the classroom I struggled with getting everything to work properly. I ended up going online to read the booklet about how to get the chromebook to output video out the HDMI. I had to toggle ctrl plus the full screen icon. The DSLR did a poor job of projecting the tablet screen onto the overhead. It was rewarding to see a few people actually buy the app during the class. The hotel connection was pretty slow but quite a few succeeded. A few had errors which means I have some bullet proofing to do. Once it was over I was relieved and happy. I never made it to the showroom. Got there around 4:30 and found out it was closed already. Put my white shirt and vest on for the costume party and made a bolo tie from purple ribbon. A stick on star from the goodie bag completed the look. We stopped in the bar and got a wine and a beer before dinner. We sat with the Nicholas's, Joe Bruns and grand daughter Alison and Andrea. The Kaoroke was fun, Libbie even participated. We also danced the night away. Quite a few took videos of us doing our Rumba routine which was a nice opportunity to practice for our performance. It was a really fun evening. My meal was brisket with potatoes. |
