Great Lakes LEM?

OK I know this was tried last year in Wi, but gonna try to do something here in Michigan in April or May most likely around the grand rapids area, just looking to see what interest there maybe. Have one old theater in mind that would have been great, but I need to go double check it out as they converted it to host Texas Hold em tournaments and added a bunch of suspended lights for over the tables i have been told. It is a shame as it was a beautiful (well old falling apart) theater from the 20's.

This first meet would not have 3phase and water so it will be pretty much a no gas event unless single phase air cooled.

Interested: i'll add more as they come in, once a venue is found i'll have an official sign up.

Sounds good!

Please count me in. I have been thinking of hosting something in the Ann Arbor area, but haven't got anywhere with it.
GR it is.

I suggest calling it "MichLEM".

Thanks...Mike

I can probably make it since I usually sit across the workbench from you. *retardo

MichLem are we doing tires or lasers :D :)

Was thinking GLLEM for great lakes lem, time will tell.

Anyhow incase he doesn;t respond here CDBEAM also expressed interest so that makes 4 so far.

Is that lumia shot something of your own?

I would be interested in trekking up from Kentucky to play with lasers and see the sights.:eek:

Same here -
I've spent more time overseas than I have north of the Mason / Dixon line, so if the timing is right, I'd be interested!

Hey, ya'll learned how to make iced tea properly up there yet? *retardo

Hey...sounds good to me...After reading Buffo's most excellent review of SELEM 2011...I am hopeful we will achieve " Critical Mass" and a MIDLEM, MICHLEM or GREAT LAKES LEM will be born. I would surly love to see DRLAVA be at this event !!!! I have been exploring the " Horn of Plenty" offered with LSX....and I am very hooked. Like I said....we cannot and should not be compared to SELEM. My only further response is seen here ==> Attachment 26804

I wouldn't worry about the SELEM comparison -

Smaller events definitely have their place & appeal, too!!!! :cool:

Well atleast i'll be prepared, planning a DA and patch system to support 6 DACS and 24 projectors select-able in banks of 6 to route any signal to any group or all. Bit overkill as I plan on maybe 4~6 projectors.

> ...Is that lumia shot something of your own?

Ayup, I got lumia out the wazoo. A red, a green, and an RGB, working on two more.

Akron, Ohio is basically home on the map, so I'm in. Gas, who needs gas... What we need is ADATS!

Steve

Nice it is looking like there is enough interest for me to put a deposit down once the right place is found. My search still continues for the proper venue. Should be posting pics of one possibility next weekend as I get to tour it late next week.

This will be good encouragement to get some work done on my projectors. Now all I need is time and some spare coin.

I know the feeling.

OK, so this is sounding cool, but I gotta' ask -

Is this going to be "Club GLLEM", or is the goal to go for a variety of music and lots of shows? :o

variety is the spice of life...

Will love to play and see anything, a good mix of all county, club, rock, family, popular, kids, holidays, religious etc with priority given to those who made a show to bring.
Going to try to keep to a now playing and up next digital display updated and edited as insertions schedule change things. Being an AV Guy i wanted this part to be smooth, have been looking for a matrix control router that could be modded slightly going single ended color to have full switching in a 24X24 config, but currently planning/building the proper patch bay to support 4 in, 24 out with the ability to patch inputs in blocks of 6 if wanted for multi head shows.

looks like we will even have lumia covered with any luck.

john

ABout time the stereo gets a test outside of the house, broke enough dishes ;)

Stuka don;t let the turn tables worry ya, i let my daughter play music with them and thats about it.

All sounds good -

Hopefully by then we can have a few BEYOND multi-projector shows ready!!

If it looks like I can make the trip, I'll plan to haul my DZ argon lumia rig I had at SELEM -
What's one more footlocker, right? ;)

BTW -

At some point, we'll need the 411 on local places & events -
That long of a haul, might as well make a vacation of it!!

No complaints, especially if she's the one spinning the platters...
bet she's got Dad wrapped very tightly around her little finger!! :angel:

I would like to see some new stuff and some of the things that Randy, once again, did not get to play at SELEM. A variety would be very nice.

Randy had the chance to play his show, but he decided not to. Also, he had to leave early on Sunday morning. Had he stayed later, he would have had another chance to run it, as we re-configured the auditorium to the classic 2+1 projector layout for Tim Walsh and Mike Dunn to run their shows. (One RGB graphics projector on the center screen, and two matched RGB beam projectors left and right facing out towards the audience.)

Part of the problem is that very few people submitted a list of shows that they wanted to run. In the vacuum, other people ran what they had. If people would like to see more variety, they need to speak up early and PLAN to bring the shows they want to watch. (Seriously, some people didn't even have play-lists set up...)

Adam

rebuttal = good, but please guys if you go further stick this in another thread.

Adam, if I get what I want all built up it will come to SELEM if wanted it will seriously help avoid the cluster of moving cables around.

thanks

Adam,

I never meant to insinuate anything other than it just did not happen. It was just the way it went as see it. I do like to tease him about it though. I'm hoping to get an invite down to Knox real soon so I can see some of his shows and drink some beers there. I'm not sure that I can wait until Spring of 2012. Never meant to offend. :angel:

It's OK Ian - no offense taken. It's just that I know Randy was bothered that he didn't run his show, and in retrospect I think there really wasn't any good reason why we didn't watch it, apart from the fact that Randy didn't feel like stopping the action for us to swap the cables around. (We certainly did a lot of swapping on Sunday, both for Tim and Mike, and later for Aaron and Frank, and that all went very well, so it's something we can definitely do quickly.)

I'm just saying that in the future, it would probably be best for us to plan for the fact that we'll need to change the projectors around a bit as the event progresses. (And this would apply to the GLLEM as well.) It might sound like a lot of work, but it's really not that bad at all.

BTW - the matrix control router is a cool idea (sort of like the ILDA splitter taken to the next level), but sometimes there's no substitute for just pulling cable. Also, after watching several shows this year on multiple projectors (14+) and then seeing the same shows later on just two matched projectors, I have to say that I sometimes prefer the two-projoector layout.

In a related topic, Brad (MassiveSound) was talking about the possibility of a Knoxville LEM at some point in the future - possibly right after the New Year. So keep that in mind too.

Very true less pj's looks less confusing, but the effort on the peoples part to bring projectors and all the setup time and then just have them sit there not used except during the LivePro session and friday most of day; as I recall all were really only running at these times, perhaps late sunday after I left. Could leave one with the feel of why bother bringing a projector if the best 4 are only gonna be used the majority of the event.

Either way my dream solution could support any of it.

Quick clarification, then no more SELEM discussions here from me -

Actually, it was never choice by me not to run my shows - trust me, I inquired SEVERAL times Friday & Saturday about schedules, and by the time a slot "sort of" opened late Saturday, I was butting head-to-head with the DJ sets that were scheduled and ready to go, and even then I was told (NOT by Adam) that "the graphics shows ran Friday". It took a while for the folks running the various consoles to get projectors rearranged and audio rerouted back to a LAN-connected laptop, then the time-line on my show got screwed up during the last minute copy-and-prep session. With everyone on pause for the DJ set, once I saw (during the actual show attempt) that the show timeline got screwed up, I knew it was time to say "uncle".

And yeah, I had to leave Sunday - Monday was spent with insurance adjustors haggling over our storm-damaged roof.
Our schedule sucked this year...

That's my story, and I'm sticking to it :p

SO anyway, about GLLEM -

I know it's early in the planning stages, but how many days do you anticipate for the event?
The venue sounds like it would be tres' cool - let us know how the recon turns out!! :cool:

I know we are a long way off, but was wondering how things are progressing on the location and if anything has been found that sparked interest. You can consider this a bump as well...

Still in search of the right place, going to start calling the smaller schools in the area with gym's and stages to see if they are able to rent them. The local YMCA has room but i don;t really care for it. The theater is the best option so far but they ruined it a bit with all the lighting that was added for over the tables to be a poker room.

Let us know when you get to needing some funds to reserve space. If there is anything else that I/we can help with, get the word out about it.

I could make it to this, maybe. Who knows. I'm "interested". :-D

Thanks appreciate it, figure i'll just front the money to start, I expect this first event to cost me money. hopefully future years it will support it self.

Would love to see you make it!

Also in the next few weeks, i'll be putting together a shows available list (every genre imaginable) so people can vote for what they want to see, I have much more content than we have time (yes days worth) most of it is graphics but there are some very cool beam shows also. We can duplicate beam shows even if wanted in the schedule. I am also going to try to borrow some content if the owners don;t show that I don;t think has ever been scene before but very cool. (I also own some William Moore, LFI and other content that I have never scene anywhere before)

I was gonna start listing, but i'll wait till I make the list, lets just say there is a lot of cool stuff from some great artists, ranging from old analog consoles, to Amiga generated graphic / abstract shows, to current modern hardware.

I need to get a feel for what is wanted to be scene as a lot of this is on ADAT and i'll have to sync and dub custom tapes or ingest them to the PC. It will be quite time consuming.

Open for ideas and suggestions as to what you would like to see at this LEM besides shows. Being smaller some stuff will be limited, but would like everyone to enjoy themselves.

Ok was able to visit the theater venue I had in mind, I think it will work, it has high 25~30' ceilings a couple different elevations off the stage which is elevated 4' off floor level. The lighting for poke is on simple thin single wires coming down, the owner stated they could be lifted higher or pulled out of the way. I think this venue will be good, price $400 a day so $800 total for saturday and sunday, Friday a free evening load-in day. 4th pic is looking stage out to audience, 5th is looking audience to stage. Yes I expect to not break even on this the first year, so don't fear the price wont be crazy high per attendee. Thinking we may only get 10 or so people so would like to get mayb4 like $40 each so i only have to pay half out of pocket.

Let me know what you think. NO fire system or alarms to worry about, but no alarm system either; however they said someone could stay on site if we are very concerned or if we stay next door (see post below) im sure we can rig up some remote monitoring.

The nearest chain hotels are 15~20 minutes away in the $50 ~$100 price range. However there is a inn just a block away with 7 rooms available, a lounge room, kitchen, conference area. These rooms go for $90 to $125 a night, or you can rent the whole place with free roam and ownership for $995 a night. WOndering how this might split up if we had 7 takers for real rooms that be $300 each for friday and saturday night, but thinking we could get the price down if we had some wanting to crash on the couches, floor chairs whatever.
The rooms are very nice with walk in showers etc. Only one of the rooms has two beds all the others are singles. This inn is also on the flat river with balcony's and walk around porches. So you could book individual rooms here if wanted but it might be nice to own the whole place.

Figure also we could run some Skrim between the balcony's

Looks like the venue & inn both have great possibilities!!!

I think a skrim would be a definite "plus" -
although I'm not real keen on the pink t-shirts at the inn....:p

Well, in that case, pink t-shirts are completetly acceptable.... :)

Any idea how far out reservations would have to be locked in to reserve the rooms & venue?


BTW -

I'm probably goig to be spending some time in Ann Arbor (business) later in the month.
Grand Rapids may be a bit outside my travel allotment, unfortunately....

I spoke with the owner at the theater, they own the bar next to it also. He doesn't handle the bookings didn't even know the price it rents for lol

the girl that manages it i'll call on monday to get dates available then i'll probably just put down a deposit so we will be set there.

The hotel inn is trickier as to book the whole place they need a 50% deposit ouch! I'll cross the inn availability with the theater and see what weekends both are free. I'll also get info on how far out they usually are booked. It is a nice little town and the city of grand rapids is very close to see any attractions there.

I live about 35 minutes away and would be open to having poeple crash at my place, but that wouldn't be possible if I stayed overnight with the equipment at the venue. Obviously the Inn is the way to go but not sure how many people can commit to dropping the needed cash. I can't absorb a loss on lodging esp at tax time next year :eek:

The inn doesn;t have a website, but i'll scan in and post the brochure later today.

The venue could also do a small buffet of food, but I am thinking with the smaller number of people and the amount of restaurants in walking distance it might be easier to just get food.

Cool -
Venue, bar, and inn, all next to each other -
What more could we ask for!!! *DZ

All of this sounds really good to me. I can not tell you how much your effort is appreciated. Thanks for keeping us posted on this.

I'm in for sure.... Great work !!! Content ???? Shows, Music and Beer and Food !! Would be good to get some hands on teaching for QM-2000 and LSX Also....other than that...my needs are simple and just attending a LEM will be a real pleasure !!!Attachment 27260

Thank you !!!

Well luckily I have bought several planetariums library's when they closed or moved on from lasers. Several of these tapes were flooded and soaked in a hurricane, baking prepping and was able to restore and get good reads from them. So here is some of the stuff I own; I don't think content will be a problem. As I have said priority will be given to those bringing shows

My search constantly continues, just turned up a great lead thanks to a guy I met here. Maybe getting several shows in a pre-ilda format 5 head system that was Mono, XY XY RGB 3 tapes from overseas. This is very cool, good thing I have 8 ADAT machines and an HD24.

My wallet states my content library has still cost me $$$. A couple good deals but I think most places still understand the value of the content.

The most fun is the research into who the original artist were finding out a little bit out those listed on the tapes. There are some very interesting people and stories that luckily some of the long timers have filled me in on.

Also the nicest show will be the Laserium I would like to run this at least twice. I am working on a custom 3rd tape right now that will control my beam table and with some logic interface hopefully a lumia rig (if it is built in time). This will compliment the LaserAmazement tape very well, it is almost 100% show one of the few without blackholes for all the laserium special effects.
