by David Bondelevitch CAS MPSE T R.A.M.P.S./JWSound Party Every Tuesday of NAB Week, there is a party hosted by CAS member Jeff Wexler's website JWSound.net. Previously, it had been hosted by R.A.M.P.S., and their name still stays in the title as a reminder of the history (Note: See Devendra Cleary's article on "Shotguns" this issue for some back story on R.A.M.P.S.) For the past few years, the party has been at Thai Satay, where the food has been excellent and the company even better! Every year, the party ends with some giveaways from manufacturers and salespeople. I'm always amazed by the generosity shown at this party. This year for the first time, the CAS donated two tickets to our awards show. CAS President Mark Ulano was on hand to present the tickets to a lucky winner! MPSE/Rogue One Event MPSE Officer Paul Rodriguez was present to introduce one of the most highly anticipated events of the week, a panel discussion with the post-production team from Star Wars: Rogue One.
