Looking for the free parties at NAB 2012

One of my golas off going to Nab is to socialize, and one of the best ways of doing that is at the different parties happening around. And I came across this posting from Bob Zelin

Hi - __

I am pleased to announce the 9th annual 2012 NAB Party at the Hard Rock Hotel
Bar at 8pm on Monday April 16th. This event is sponsored by
Maxx Digital, ATTO Technology and GPL. The policy is the same as last
year - trade your business card for free drinks.

As you may know, this event gets very crowded.

Hope to see you there -
Bob Zelin

Price change in upgrade for MC 5.5 to MC 6

From the 1 of April 2012 the upgrade price from MC 5.5 to MC 6 will change from 299$ to 499 $ and it is only the download version (wich contain the same software as the boxed version). The boxed version has all the time been 499$ and will stay that way.
So if you are considering to upgrade to version6, to get 64 bit, AMA for AVCHD among other things, then it could be an idea to do that before the 1 of April.
