I like it... How about adding the "South Eastern Laser Enthusiast's Meeting" text somewhere, and also adding www.photonlexicon.com on it somewhere. (Maybe we'll need to have a front and a back?) Either way though, the design looks very good for a first draft. I think you're on to something there Steve-o! You're clearly more creative than I would have been.
One other thing: Might want to mention that this is the First Annual SELEM... Those of us that will be there in 2007 will be "charter members", as it were. Eh - then again, that might make it too busy...
Carmangary;
I hope someone like Ogre does start chanting at us. I'd take it as a compliment! (and for the record, Revenge of the Nerds is one of my favorite movies...)
Sure you won't change your mind and figure out some way to make it to this one?
