Greetings from Pinky,
This is a special year for the LO-704 and the SCTE. It is the 31st birthday of Pinky and the LO-704. We are planning a fun party at the LO-704 meeting, so please consider sponsoring the event.
Once again, we are looking to our former and new sponsors to support our annual event. We are seeking sponsors earlier this year due to many companies having exhausted their event budgets that late in the year. Please see the attached for sponsor information.
The Loyal Order of the 704 will be as usual – roasting (inducting) new members this year at our meeting in Washington DC. This year’s meeting will be held on the second night of EXPO, Tuesday September 30th from 7:00 to 9:00p at The Marriott. We have changed to the second night so as not to conflict with any other EXPO event and not give you an excuse for attending and humiliating (honoring) the proposed inductees.
As usual an auction of really old Cable Junk, ah, memorabilia will be held. All are invited to attend and LO-704 members, please send your recommended nominee’s names to Andy Healey at a.healey5520@comcast.net. We will induct a maximum of ten new members if we find that many qualified and alive. If you have any quality Cable Memorabilia, please bring it to the meeting.
Qualifications for membership in the Loyal Order of the 704 are:
· Nomination by a current member, usually someone who knows you, holds a grudge against you, or is afraid of you.
· 20+ years in the Cable system business. Extreme preference is given to Technical Operations, Engineering and/or the ability to tell great “questionable truths” about how your actual or (alleged) use of a Jerrold 704 meter or a close descendant of the704, that saved this or that from Nuclear Destruction, Asteroid Collision, Tsunami, Hurricane,Tornado, Earthquake in Napa Valley, or other substantial embarrassment.
· The strong desire to wear a Pink Flamingo cap and kiss Pinky somewhere on Pinky’s body at the induction ceremony.
