Texture nodes

Hi,

was just woundering when people are using maya and creating textures etc, do they only use Blin, phong etc or do they also use the Mental ray nodes? i ask this because at Esacep studio we only ever used Blin, phong etc and never realy used any mental ray nodes on the VFX course.

User group meeting or Demo at Siggraph 09

As Siggraph 2009 is approaching, I am wondering if there will be a user group meeting or demonstrations from the Foundry in the exhibition so that we can have a sneak peak of the new features of the coming release or learn some techniques?
