ARGHH!!!
it was a horrible experience! The grade looked AWFUL, my carefully balanced highlights were completely blown! My painstaking 3.0 sound mix was week on the center channel! I sweated like a fat man in Arizona at a high noon shoot out for the entire presentation.
for some reason, a few people laughed, some clapped, so go figure. I stayed for the awards presentation and got my plaque and made a lame little speech. I was too embarrassed to stay and network. So I spent the rest of the night at Applebees scarfing on 1/2 priced appetizers!
My awesome wife had me feeling better by the time I started working on the spinach dip!
