Pics from the CS5/Flash Builder Launch Party
Thanks to all who came out this past Thursday night, April 22nd to the offices of the Phelps Group for the CS5 and Flash Builder Launch Party (Part One). We totally packed the place and as you’ll see, we even had people watching from the 2nd floor staircase. Was a fantastic event as thanks to all the LA area Adobe User Group Managers who participated including LA Illustrator’s Chana Messer, LA Flex’s Tom Bray and of course your own LAdobe Managers, Adam Bell and Michele Weisbart for sharing their secrets of what’s in store for Creative Suite 5.
Special thanks to our food and drink sponsors including Patty’s Gourmet Pizza, Function Drinks and our own Garick Chan who supplied his incredible home-baked bread. Beer and Wine was supplied by Adobe.
And this is just Part One! May 27th, we will go deep into Photoshop CS5 with Photoshop Cafe’s Colin Smith for what should be a memorable night. Hope to see you at Key Code Media in Santa Monica for Part Two!
