Werner Bloos at Palermo's Italian Restaurant

An impromptu SCSC Movie Division meeting was held Wednesday, August 8, 2007, at Palermo's Italian Restaurant in Los Angeles. Werner Bloos, a talented stereographer from Germany, had emailed that he would be in the southland for a few days and would relish an opportunity to meet members of the Stereo Club's Movie Division. Ray Zone arranged for the group to meet in the upstairs backroom at Palermo's, where 23 Division members enjoyed an Italian meal, socializing and a show featuring several of Werner's recent videos from his homeland and Tom Koester's award winning The Towers of Simon Rodia.

Werner and Eric Kurland showed off their twin digital stereo rigs and Werner also demonstrated a new stereo monitor which has not yet been placed on the market. Tpm Koester served as the projectionist, putting into service his twinned Optoma projection system.
