DIS Meets 2003 DVD is finally available!

[BarryHom]

I know that a lot of you have been waiting for this DVD and it's finally ready! The DIS Meets 2003 DVD shows nearly every DIS Meet that happened over 2003. The video is on two DVDs and the total running time is over 2 hours. Obviously, there were a lot of DIS meets!

What will you see in this DVD? You will see:

WDW meets
My encounter with Infestation at Islands of Adventure's Halloween Horror Nights
The Tasting of the Beverly
Riddle Con
John Con
Torturing a kid on It's a Small World
Universal Orlando meets
...and much more!

So what's the cost of the DVD? I'm not asking for any reinbursement for my time in editing this video. It's my thank you to everyone who takes the time out to visit the DIS. But I do need to cover the cost of the DVDs, cases, etc. I'm not selling this video because I don't want to make a profit. However, if you want a copy of the video, I ask for a donation of at least $8 to cover the cost of materials. Where can you find a video for $8? Certainly you can't buy "Cinderella II" for $8! You can donate more $ if you wish. Any additional money will go towards a future DIS Meets video (possibly the DIS Meets 2004 DVD, now in production!).

Usually, I send the video out first and then have people send the $ later. Some people have stiffed me in the past. I can't do much about that, but I think I can do something now. Remember, I'm a Webmaster now with access to the big red button! I wonder if I can "zap" people who don't send a donation.

So if you want one, please e-mail me at barry.hom@netzero.com for more information. Please do not PM me! My PM box will likely overflow with all the requests. My Outlook Express is much more forgiving.

Limited time offer! The first 5 people to e-mail me (not PM me) will get a free copy of the DVD as long as you promise to post a review about it on the DIS boards.

Some meets, like the Pittsburgh meet, are notably absent from the video. That's because I never got photos of video from the meet, even though people promised to send some. I can't make all the meets, so we need to contribute lots of video or photos for next year's presentation. I like to deal with video more since I can be more creative with it.

Also, anyone who attends one of my DIS meets will automatically get a copy of this DVD.

I'm offering it on DVD for now. With the prices of DVD players and DVD-ROM drives become commonplace in computers, everyone should have a way to play DVDs by now. However, if you need a copy of VHS, I can try to accomodate. Please e-mail me.

Thank you all for your support of the DIS now and in the future!

Hi Barry,

I would love to get the DIS meets DVD, I just sent you an email. I have never been to a DIS Meet before and I think this would be fun way to see it what is like. And I would be more than happy to post a review I hope I get to go to a DIS Meet one of these days, that would be a lot of fun!

Barry - sound great. I sent an e-mail but got an error message. Please advise whether you got it or not.

Thanks!

I have seen the 2003 DIS Meets DVD and, simply put, this is Barry's best work to date. He had limited video to work with and was not present at all of the DIS meets that are included on the DVDs, and yet he manages to capture the heart and soul of these meets.

The arrangement of the chapters on this two DVD set leaves you always thirsting for more. One of the key themes is Barry's trip to Universal Studios during Halloweekends. He provides a unique perspective of the event. He keeps the excitement level high by interspersing the video of Halloweekends with that of DIS meets from Florida and from around the world.

The music that accompanies the video is always a pleasure, and this year's model is no exception. If you have ever been to a DIS meet, you need a copy of these DVDs. They will bring back a flood of great memories of 2003.

I will premiere the DIS meets 2003 video at our annual Memorial Day picnic at our home in NE Ohio in May. If you can't wait (or can't make it to Ohio), contact Barry and get your very own copy. It will be well worth it.

I have to agree, the Halloweekend "piece" is tooo funny.. and does leave you on the edge of your seat in suspense.

I know we saw last years DIS meet at the Memorial Day picnic. Glad to know that you are still planning for that, even with your injuries!

Thanks everyone for the e-mails. If you have trouble sending an e-mail, you can also try webmasterbarry@usoinfo.com

Also, I can burn the DVDs in PAL format for the non-U.S. DISers.

Thanks!

Great DVD It is lovely 'seeing' you all

 

[BarryHom]

bump!

I got 7 people who wanted a copy so far. Is anyone else interested? With this low interest, I'm not sure if I will do one again next year. Next year, the only place that you can possibly see it will be at a meet.

Barry-

I'd love a copy, but I'll get it from you next week when we meet. Wow, TC - Nice description . Can't wait to see it.

FYI -- I might make the DIS Con 2002 video available on DVD. Stay tuned...

 

[BarryHom]

I was thinking of making a DIS Con 2001 DVD. I have to really dig through my archives.

Anyone else want a DVD?

 

[BarryHom]

[KristaTX]

I'll take whatever dvd's you want to give me .
