The Newton Conover Auditorium is looking more and more like Mos Eisley spaceport. A wretched hive of scum and villainy.

Here we have some of the newer members of this organized gang of photon holligan's.
As you can see they are recruited at an early age. We think some may even be brother and sister- and apparently some find all this amusing!!
Yepper, and almost as much stuff, too!!!
We are definitely becoming gear-heavy...based on the effort required (and average age of the crew), maybe too much?
One thing I (and a few others) REALLY liked this year - the auditorium arrangement was nearly perfect!
I would hope that regardless of the type of shows run in the auditorium in the future, the gear configuration in there stays similar to the setup this year.
I don't think we would necessarily need to have a wall of projectors and/or mega quantities of DMX fixtures in there to be able to run a variety of shows, be it beams, graphics, or live DJ'ing. I think the key would be to have an arrangement that does NOT require the auditorium to be "reconfigured" just because a different type of music and show is being played.
Probably the one thing I would change in the auditorium is the dependence on any one person and/or laptop to run everything.
That could be easily handled with a little plotting & sharing of controller /projector assignments during the setup.
As I mentioned previously, overall it was WAY cool this year - but dang, there sure is a lot of frickin' gear, especially when you consider that no one outside our little laser geek community gets the chance to experience it!

Sweet.....
Not just siblings join these 'goings-on' but perhaps sons and fathers and grandfathers too.
Our undercover CI snapped this photo of two gang mambers actually working on thier lasers capable of causeing long tern brain damage due to both eye and ear gasims..
suppose you're thinkin' about a plate o' shrimp. Suddenly someone'll say, like, plate, or shrimp, or plate o' shrimp out of the blue, no explanation. No point in lookin' for one, either. It's all part of a cosmic unconciousness.
Who the actual 'shot-callers' and overlords are is not easy to discern- they area tight-lipped bunch with deep loyalty to the King Pins. Only after much consumption of adult beverages do they open up.
These may also be underbosses.
Our undercover CI got these photos of two un-named members actually working on thier death ray machines- known to cause both eyegasms and eargasms , and sometimes Multi-linegasms.
And here are members freely hawking thier wares in an open market ---BUT entry was by INVITATION ONLY!! <-- what does THAT tell you???
Here we see what apprears to be normal people...UNTIL you look at the ceiling above them---!!! Oh the humanity!!.... the Horror!.. when will it ever end??

We may have discovered who Mr. Big is-- he goes by many akas.
Once thought to be retired and was formally well established as a prolific creator with a large following ....But we are not sure if he is done.
