HAhahaha 10:12:48 From Suz Lipman to Everyone: Lots of character and animation. I wonder if there was more of that in Vancouver than other places. Maybe it has something to do with scale? 10:12:52 From denise to Host and Panelists: vancouver cow 10:13:03 From Alexa to Everyone: Love the car crash sign! 10:13:46 From Suz Lipman to Everyone: Beautiful period sign. 10:15:24 From Suz Lipman to Everyone: Wow! 10:15:46 From Jay Potter to Everyone: Is save on meats still there? 10:16:03 From Suz Lipman to Everyone: So much reproduction!

Especially as they were cheaper to run than a lot of other kinds of electric signs. 10:27:31 From Laurie Becker to Everyone: Agree. Were they considered light pollution perhaps? 10:28:03 From Alexa to Everyone: Still miss Kodachrome 10:28:09 From Suz Lipman to Everyone: Laurie, I don’t think the Fluevog Store in SF has neon. 10:28:10 From Martin Treu to Everyone: Gobsmacked is the only word to do it justice. Well done! 10:28:50 From Neon Speaks to Everyone: I think those are Roxy Rose walk signs! 10:32:39 From Laurie Becker to Everyone: OOOOOH 10:32:50 From Lippy to Host and Panelists: OMG!!!

Amazing to see the Republic sign when it was lit! It's still there but not lit anymore. 10:35:16 From Lippy to Everyone: I remember “The Alibi” in Arcata 10:35:30 From Suz Lipman to Everyone: Toby and Jacks might have just closed. 10:35:56 From denise to Host and Panelists: Great photos 10:36:28 From Suz Lipman to Everyone: Some beautiful letterforms! 10:37:28 From Lippy to Everyone: Animated leg positions on that NOLA horse sign - BEST positioning I’ve EVER seen! 10:38:38 From Martin Treu to Everyone: Thank God for the Baby Boomers (esp Angus and John) who got their cameras out in the 1970s and 1980s and made sure to capture all this neon that they loved. And many Gen X-ers too. 10:40:18 From Martin Treu to Everyone: And now we have this incredible forum (Neon Speaks) where we can finally share this material. 10:40:41 From Suz Lipman to Everyone: The Mayan was a beautiful building. 10:40:41 From Alexa to Everyone: Such beautiful history - these should be city goals again! 10:40:52 From Suz Lipman to Everyone: Yes! 10:40:58 From wolff to Everyone: Wondering re Stromberg sign "S"... script of the designer- Like Bea's signs in Seattle- Ivars, Dicks.... etc! 10:41:32 From Suz Lipman to Everyone: I really wish Fremont Street could have remained intact. 10:41:47 From Suz Lipman to Everyone: (Let alone the Strip.) 10:42:05 From meredithbrody to Everyone: You don’t know what you’ve got til it’s gone (pace Joni Mitchell). 10:44:02 From meredithbrody to Everyone: Lovely tour. Went by too fast! 10:44:11 From Jay Potter to Everyone: 👏👏👏👏👏 10:44:13 From Suz Lipman to Everyone: What a tour and presentation!!

Please do. 10:49:53 From meredithbrody to Everyone: Very inspiring! 10:50:06 From Alexa to Everyone: Thanks Angus - they are beautiful! 10:50:13 From Jeanne D'Arcy (she/her) to Everyone: Thank you, Angus! 10:52:23 From Katie Ann Gorman to Everyone: Angus, I loved the road trip photos. When did you fall in love with Neon? Were those photos from one long trip? How long were you on the road and was your impetus for that adventure to specifically capture shots of neon or was that just something you luckily did along the way? I’d love to know more about that odyssey! 10:52:29 From meredithbrody to Everyone: Aha. Very interesting — conservation vs. repair. Nice glimpse into museum philosophy. 10:53:00 From Robert McIntyre to Host and Panelists: Great Presentation!! All the best. Robert McIntyre. 10:53:38 From Martin Treu to Everyone: Agreed, Meredith 10:53:49 From Michael Pysno to Everyone: Excellent program!

Such a tight grain with a tripod 10:56:25 From meredithbrody to Everyone: The Vancouver Film Festival runs this year from the 1st of October to the 11th. Some in-cinema, some online. Too soon for me, I think. 10:56:39 From Tom U to Everyone: Heights movie: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XOWAU9cnB4Y 10:57:03 From Suz Lipman to Everyone: IMDB page for “Glowing in the Dark” https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0203531/ 10:57:09 From meredithbrody to Everyone: Thanks for your amazing work, Angus. Serendipity. 10:57:20 From Alexa to Everyone: Thank you Suz! 10:58:03 From meredithbrody to Everyone: There must have been some good neon shops and great neon sign salesmen in Vancouver. 10:58:25 From Angus McIntyre to Everyone: I made several trips up and down the coast and inland in the 1970s. Both by train and by car. 10:58:30 From meredithbrody to Everyone: See! Art school graduates! 10:58:40 From meredithbrody to Everyone: In the neon shops. 10:59:31 From Dydia DeLyser and Paul Greenstein to Everyone: It’s also true that many of the western states and provinces had strong, early Claude Neon franchises that made a lot of amazing signs 10:59:45 From Suz Lipman to Everyone: That was a great answer! I’m so happy to learn more about Vancouver, the Neon City! 11:00:06 From Stephen Coles (he/him) to Everyone: Thank you both so much! Really happy to hear your photos are going on Flickr, Angus.
