I’m proud to say I was at the first bathtub party. I actually bought 2 copies of Prolith based on that demo, one at the company I worked for at that time and another when I changed jobs a few weeks later. And I was there both times when the party got busted in recent years. I guess I lived though the entire cycle.

It was a great run; thanks for the beer, the hospitality, and the memory of a great litho tradition.

works for good things as well as bad.

It was a good run – now it gives you room for the next big thing (I mean little ‘thing’ – now crawling?)

The other company’s hospitality suites were swank and Disney. The bathtub party was old-school Vegas and Times Sq. For young american engineers, it was the networking party. I’m thankful for all the opportunities I had to be a contributing organizer to making the party a success.

As the Spanker’s say, "We love beer!"
