IN THE AIR! At 30,000 Feet, Ryan is the #NABShow Cloud King!

(Teri, Ryan, & Daniel!)

Well… We’re off to NAB!!!!!!

We are thirty-thousand feet up in the air, kids, on our way to that “gritty gambling capital” Las Vegas for the 2014 NAB Show!  I am SO excited that I’ve started blogging while on the plane – as always! (It’s getting to be a habit, now!!!)  I’m high above the clouds… I feel like king… King of the Cloud!

…and I AM!  Literally, the Cloud King!  Thanks to the folks at NAB Show and the world of Twitter @ryansalazar and also: #NABShow and #MMC – I have been named “King of the Cloud!” Follow my updates live from the show floor!

I hope everyone has downloaded the new Broadcast Beat Magazine app on their iPhone, iPad and Android devices!  Search your respective app store for “Broadcast Beat Magazine” or “2014 NAB Show” NOW!!! 

Is that Debra Kaufman we see getting on the plane???  Did I mention that Debra is now with Broadcast Beat Magazine???  Debra is AMAZING – she’s covered entertainment and technology for 25 years, for publications including Creative COW, International Cinematographer, CineMontage, HD Video Pro, Film & Video, The Hollywood Reporter, Variety and American Cinematographer among others – and was most recently Associate Editor at Creative COW.  How cool is that?  Debra?

“I’m thrilled to be going to the 2014 NAB Show with you, Ryan and Broadcast Beat,” says Kaufman. “Broadcast Beat has fresh energy, and Ryan has assembled a great team of writers.”

Thanks, Debra!  I’m sure that I don’t have to mention any more about her – if you’re reading this, chances are you’re already familiar with her!  And hey, Debra – that carry-on might just be too large for the overhead!  See more about her – AND our entire solid-core team at the Broadcast Beat website: www.broadcastbeat.com/index.php/team/

The Patriots Jet Team (you might have seen them on the Canadian Discover Channel) looks like fun too. It’s more fun for me to watch planes than it is to be in them.  This team has the only civilian jet air show in the U.S.!  Perhaps there’ll be time to meet some of the pilots: Randy “Howler” Howell, Dean ‘Wilbur’ Wright, & Robert ‘Scratch’ Mitchell.  After spending a bit of time watching aeronautics, it’ll be time to head back inside for more exhibit-hopping.  I wonder if I could get the jet team to race me back when that time comes… Hmm… Check-out their planned exhibition schedule at: www.nabshow.com/2014/exhibits/attractions-and-pavilions/patriots-jet-team/

I’ve got to go – the pilot has lit the seatbelt sign!
TG-WiFi (Thank God for Wi-Fi)!!!  Planes w/Wi-Fi… what a concept!!!

Don’t forget to tune-in on Monday April 7^th! 

…and Awaaaay we go!  SEE YOU IN VEGAS!!!
