Big Buck Bunny VIP Invitashun – I Has It!

Bart · March 25, 2008

The sole purpose of this post is to make y’all jealous!

I succeeded, right?

Ok, to give this post SOME meaning, please leave a note under this thread at BlenderArtists if you’re planning to come to the premiere of Big Buck Bunny.

Author Bart

I have a LONG history with Blender - I wrote some of the earliest Blender tutorials, worked for Not a Number and helped run the crowdfunding campaign that open sourced Blender (the first one on the internet!). I founded BlenderNation in 2006 and have been editing it every single day since then ;-) I also run the Blender Artists forum and I'm Community Lead at n8n.

Unrelated: I saw a giant easter bunny driving the car before me last night. Suddenly seeing those the silhouette of those large ears made me think of hugs, dunno why!

Ho well! I will just use the ventilation sistem entrance; no need for fancy VIP envitations :P

Bart,

Volgens mij had je ook ‘stempelstempel[bart]’ willen ‘de-stempelen’ :)

Bart,

Als je vanaf nu dreigbrieven krijgt dat ik op de koffie kom, dan heb ik het toch onthouden :)

Hmm, spreading some confusion…. hÃ¨hÃ¨…. I might try to find someone called Ninet to join me, and start shouting “Mine, it’s me, I’m Bart!”

Sorry Bart, that invitation was meant for your neighbors Bert & Lilet… if you could just drop it off there, thanks. Again, sorry about the confusion.

Blender.org should make the VIP RSVP page harder to find

congrats , so your in with the big boys now.
A streak of genius also to go stand infront of a bookcase realy makes you look inteligent. ;)
wasn’t the entrance free anyway?, well I could hop on my bike, if I can find the time, I only live 7 min away from that place :P.

Actually, you can’t make your own in Photoshop.

Now, if I fire up GIMP and create one (open source) does that count?

Sorry, couldn’t resist ;)

Congrats on yours!

26 March 2008 at 15:47

Yeah, we’re all insanely jealous. Of course we knew you’d be there, but if it makes you feel any better, we’re still jealous.

ARGG, enjoy

ditto on Panzi’s question

MrE

@Guardian

Aargh all this work to make a fake invitation only to see it fail because of a non-opensource program.
It would be a big gesture to the opensource community if they let you in though :)

Bart

27 March 2008 at 09:05

On the bright side, my videocamera is also invited ;-) I’ll do my best to capture the event!

Zelouille

27 March 2008 at 12:15

What a funky haired stamp ! :D

Bart

27 March 2008 at 12:18

@Zelouille: that’s our queen! %^)

27 March 2008 at 14:15

@Zelouille & Bart: Yeah I saw that too, thought it was Bart though. :-)

27 March 2008 at 14:32

Didn’t work at all for me. I’m not jealous, I’m proud of you and happy for you. Sadly, I won’t be able to make it, VIP or not. See you next Conference.

Cheers

Bart: Why did you take that picture in front of my book closet?

@Joeri: I’ve been stealing your books for the last four years. Didn’t like the chick lit much though..
