Thank you Lan!

What a great BBQ and hostess! It was awesome to finally see for the first time since the beginning of the pandemic some of the group I already knew, some I have met in the virtual meetings and new peeps to the groups!

I was the guy wearing the mask off and on due to immunocompromised loved ones and I brought the zucchini and carrots to grill . Thanks to the 4 people that coughed in my face by the way! ; ) All snarky playfulness aside, thanks for the compliments on the veggies. Just baste almost any veggie with olive oil and your choice of spices and go at it is the recipe. Press on the veggie and when it's just softening up, take it off of the grill because it will keep cooking/steaming itself for a couple more minutes.

Also, thanks especially for the great tech talk and getting back up to speed on what peeps are doing. The collection of SGVLUG/HAK groups are some of my fav of all the SoCal groups I affiliate with. It is also a source of inspiration for the groups I manage based on Open Source DCC software like blender and others. I frequently gain new ideas, information and strategies from Lan, the other leaders and all y'all participants.

Speaking of participants and as a community leader in other groups, I highly recommend connecting with Lan and the other leadership on SCaLE and Pasadena Connect Week projects. Having an engaging community really encourages those of us who step into leadership.
</div>
<div class="default-style">
</div>
<div class="default-style">
Speaking of leadership and the other reason I'm sending out this email other than complimenting Lan and all y'all, is I'm putting together a DCC/blender presentation to present at one of our monthly meetings and I wanted to put a call out to anyone regularly using blender, any other OS DCC(digital content creation) tool, any OS game engine, or media and visualization based tools.
</div>
<div class="default-style">
</div>
<div class="default-style">
I'd like to collaborate with you in any way we find beneficial to develop the presentation so it has high impact for the group. My close blender associate who works on the FM Tech project with me also is the new dev for the blender molecular addon that does 3D rendering of molecules. So part of my presentation will be on that tool for example. Please let me know if you have any other ideas or areas of interest.
</div>
<div class="default-style">
</div>
<div class="default-style">
If you are interested in either chiming in or contributing to the presentation in any way, please email me at <a href="mailto:meetings@socalblender.org">meetings@socalblender.org</a>.
</div>
<div class="default-style">
I will also post this call on the group Slack in the next few days.
</div>
<div class="default-style">
<br>Again, thanks for being awesome and one of my fav groups of people and let's keep supporting the groups in any ways we can.

Hi all,

<div>
As promised, the SGVLUG/SGVHAK potluck BBQ has been rescheduled to Sep 23rd. It'll be in my backyard in San Gabriel. If you're new to a party at my house, I provide the venue and the grill, but you all run the grill and the party. If you come around 5pm, you will be put to work. helping with setup. I don't think we'll get the grill going until closer to 6pm.
