Unofficial Tex Murphy

Woo-hooo! November 2nd is my day to be in SLC, baby! I'm so excited, and I'm not going try and hide it! This means there's only one thing I must do now.....exercise exercise, EXERCISE! So I look good on camera! I must overshoot my target rate by 10 pounds, stupid 10 pounds-adding camera.

Wow! That is going to be a really amazing day - take photos and share!

Have they told you any more? What to bring/what to wear??

I received a couple PDFs of SLC hot spots but that's it so far.

congrats Trilaan! For sure, take pics and post them. Just a little envious (saving grace? I look like crap on camera )

ps. any change you could post the email so we can experience it vicariously?

Congrats! What a great thing to look forward to

Here you go:

I may not need an airplane as I'll be on Cloud 9. I'll probably just ride it there. ha ha ha

Thanks so much Trilaan. That email is a keepsake in and of itself. You need to get yourself a GoPro HD video cam and just wear it all day

EXCELLENT! Have a WONDERFUL time and TELL US ALL!!!! And btw, my birthday is Nov 3rd. If you are still there, toast a drink to all us Tex fans that couldn't be there in body, but totally in spirit!

Wow, thanks for sharing Trilaan.

I've been wondering whether that huge green screen is for Mac's cameo as a stuntman

It would be great to hear about your role too - whether it's running across the set with a newspaper on your head or a talking role and what you have to do!

I shall take my Sony Handycam HD and my laptop, perhaps I can do on-site posting. Worry not, those of you who couldn't make it, I'll make you sick of it by the time I'm done.

Pretty awesome. I'd be jealous, but you deserve it for backing big when the project needed it.

Very cool should be a lot of fun.

If anyone who is coming to SLC would like some pointers I'd be happy to share.

First tip, make sure to bring some warm clothes and dress in layers.

Second most cities along the Wasatch Front follow a grid system for the streets, except for parts that were laid out by developers which can be screwy, so navigation is actually pretty easy.

Third by Nov. folks have gotten cocky with the snow so beware of driving shenanigans, especially the nitwits in SUVs.

Fourth have fun, yes there are plenty of things to do but not as robust a night life as some places folks maybe more accustomed to.

Fifth loads of crappy construction on the freeway towards Centerville at the moment, not a big deal just don't speed. ;}

Oh if you are flying in, there is a business complex about half a mile west of the airport where TPD and O were made.

Thanks for the tips KvE!

Any more suggestions are totally welcome!

I enjoy both groups, contrast and variety is a wondrous thing indeed.

For those that maybe curious this is the building where TPD and O were made; pretty sure UAKM may have been done elsewhere.

Access Software final office building

Also where Mark Hamill's cancelled Black Pearl game was being made, I actually got to see and hear some various bits and pieces from the game. One awesome thing played right into MH's distinguished voice acting career. -Wonder if they still have those.

Best Regards
