It was a lovely evening. Jon Burlingame did a fine job hosting and moderating - the biggest laughs of the evening went to Bill Conti, who could have been a fine comic actor. Vic Flick opened the evening playing the James Bond theme - it was grand and he got a standing ovation. Lots of clips - interestingly, about halfway through they began showing actual film rather than digital and the difference, at least to me, was amazing - the digital stuff looked flat and boring and the film looked like, well, film.
Lots of fun people in attendance, including a lot of Bond girls - Maud Adams, Lynn-Holly Johnson, Gloria Hendry and a couple of others. The wonderful composer John Scott was there (he played sax and flute on Goldfinger). Don Black spoke as did Vick. Composer Richard Sherman and his lovely wife Elizabeth were there, so was Nick Redman and Julie Kirgo, Richard Kraft, Daniel Schweiger, M.V. Gerhard, Grover Crisp (of Sony), and lots of others I'm forgetting.
