    Default Official S.E.L.E.M. Thread! (OLD POST FROM 2006)

    Ok - SELEM is a little more than a month away. As of right now, the dates are Saturday, July 15th and Sunday, July 16th 2006. The location is Atlanta, GA. (Exact location to be announced shortly!)

    So....

    How many people are going to come? And what equipment are you planning on bringing?

    As for me, I'll be by myself, and I'll be bringing my Alphalite projector plus a bunch of other doodads. (My 3 single-line 110V argons, a box full of HeNe's, some optics, and other junk.)

    EDIT: PLEASE TAKE NOTE OF THE DATE. THIS POST IS NEARLY 7 YEARS OLD.

    Has the mission been scrubbed? It is getting close to the time for the event ......I have not seen much activity about it and I need to know so that I can be "sick" for a couple of days. Trying to find a way to get down to it and still have a job to get back to..........

    I was trying to find the right way to "announce" but i guess this is as good as any.

    The event has been postponed, Atlanta is an expensive nightmare. I could not justify $1500 a day for "just con space" in any hotel plus a fire marshal at $45 an hour *if* we wanted to use a fogger. And that wasnt even a *good* hotel. Good hotels demanded $3k a day *plus* non optional catering.

    Maybe if "badge fees" were something like $150ea but thats just outrageous for what started out as a "cheap to free" event for us to get to gether and as Buffo puts it: "Geek out".

    Really: This will happen, just not next weekend, and unless I can start pulling some magic strings it wont be in Atlanta either.

    Buffo has been a monumenal dare I say Iconic help in this undertaking, as has everyone else who assisted me through each trial and tribulation, I thank them all for their continued support in the endeavor to bring forth a large number of people from a very small community and "Geek out"

    Thanks everyone, heres to planning another great event where and whenever it may be.

    Cheers

    Aw shucks... ops: Thanks Spec!

    I'm not giving up on this idea... Like Robert said, it's going to have to be postponed for now. It also may end up being held in another city. (Charleston, SC and Charlotte, NC are two alternate sites that we're looking into.) But we *WILL* make this happen folks. It's just going to take a lot more work to get organized.

    On the plus side, the first one is always the toughest. Once we get it done, we'll be able to do the next one a lot easier. (At least, that's what I keep telling myself!)

    That makes 7... I don't remember if I counted Pangolin... Maybe 8. We could have a small Florida meet, practice for SALEM... :idea: Going through the members list I see about 11 or 12... I can get us an outdoor venue... in the Ocala Forest... Everyone brings a tent and a small generator? :roll:
