How is everyone's SELEM preparations going?

[polishedball]

Getting the pile together, trying not to forget anything. Went from not going to bring anything to bringing about the kitchen sink...

[buffo]

My back is killing me, but I finally got everything loaded into the Jeep. 4 projectors, 1 beam rail, 2 computers, 3 monitors, a *ton* of cables and adapters (3 tote bins full), my DMX board, the ILDA splitter, an oscilloscope, a fog machine, a fan, the door prizes, the two-way radios, the scrim, a folding table and chair, my tool box, the 16-channel mixer, and a bunch of other shit that I probably won't need but decided to bring anyway. Sigh. It fits together like a drunken tetris puzzle, but it fits.

Now to pack my suitcase...

Torture Tubes??? Some sort of sex toy?

Hah! Well, perhaps from some-perspectives... http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fb...1001759&type=1

...actually, the 'proper' name is "dimple tube", but one time, I was trying to explain that effect to a Client, and came up with 'torture tube', to-describe what it seems to 'do' to the light - twists it thru multi-layered 'contorsions', etc, that, when 'tuned-properly', end-up producing breathtaking aurora-like fx, with 'depth', even... one of the most-innovative / spellbinding fx Laserium ever came-up with, imo - any Co, for that-matter... I think Sir Polishedball might have a nice one / custom-module to show ya'll at S'LEM, there, for your viewing-pleasure... ..speaking of that:

..here's to ya'll and a great weekend! Say 'hi' to Sir Walsh and Sir Makhov for me, and hope to see ya down the road... Unless I win some lotto or close a 5-digit gig between now and Fri-nite...

cheers...

Steve Roberts was selling some glass torture-tube lumia effects a while back. I bought a few of them, and they make the perfect "wave lumia". Simply breathtaking...

Aw, come on dude! Bring them! The more lasers the better! Besides, lately several PL members have bailed on their plans to bring their projectors. If everyone thinks "well, someone else will be bringing their projector, I don't need to bring mine", then pretty soon we'll end up with what we had last year (which was around 12 projectors).

I may bring one since you asked nicely. I am not sure since I'm buried in work, but I will make an honest effort.

Yes, everyone bring as many projectors as you can! No slacking?

Nap is over, truck is packed, and I am about to head to DZ's house. See y'all in the morning!

[buffo]

I'm on schedule to leave out of here in about 6 hours myself. I really should be sleeping, but as usuall I'm too damned keyed-up to sleep.

Wow - the load-in starts in less than 12 hours! Guess there's nothing that's going to stop this freight train now....

See you all very soon. Hope everyone has a safe trip!

I'm here.... waiting on the rest of you..... :-)

I probably won't leave Raleigh until 5pm so will see you all right about when you're all half drunk at the Bistro.
