    Default 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.

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

    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...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 ==> Click image for larger version.

    I wouldn't worry about the SELEM comparison -

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

    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.

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

    Wrote an article about it for Make Magazine:
