After approximately 90 hours of travel from Papua New Guinea (including an 18-hour layover at “home” in California), I have finally arrived in Orlando for this year’s DEMA Show. Wetpixel video moderator Drew Wong arrived and immediately began to harassing manufacturers on the floor, and Divester representative Willy Volk has already started posting coverage of the show. Over the next three days we’ll be posting exhaustive coverage of all of the underwater imaging products being shown at DEMA this year. Stay tuned!
Willy, Jason Heller (DivePhotoGuide) and I spent some time last night trying to find food and finally ended up at Denny’s. What’s up with having conventions in areas with no food? My stomach is already pissed off.
Also, Divester/Wetpixel t-shirts will be available for $15 at the DivePhotoGuide booth (2449).
What cart did you guys fall off of. :) There are tons of places to eat on International Drive. Capital Grill, TuTu Tango, Bahama Breeze and bunches more. If you want to take a cab, Downtown Disney or Island of Adventure (10 min) each have half a dozen from reasonable to very expensive (Emeril’s).
If you need more and if by any chance you want to have dinner with me (my treat) call me at my office (407-678-3116)

Also, most of the places have lines out the door because of the DEMA crowd.
Posted by Eric Cheng on 11/09 at 06:30 AMOK; if you’re happy with Denny’s, stick with it.
But seriously, if you guys are up for it, I’ll be happy to pick you up and spring for dinner somewhere decent this evening. It’s the least I can do for all the free Wetpixel entertainment you’ve provided.Posted by loftus on 11/09 at 07:07 AM
