Daniel;
There should be a video feed on Saturday, and there might be one on Friday evening as well. Aaron is in charge of that though, so you'll have to wait for him to post the details. (He normally broadcasts to his Ustream.tv channel.)
David;
I don't think we'll be going to dinner much before 6:30 or so... Will that be enough time? (We've also got time after dinner, you know.)
As far as a screen, I don't know. I can check with Paul and see if he's got something. Or maybe Chris would let us borrow his. LJK also suggested that we use the material that they make room-darkening drapes out of. (The white backing material, that is.) So we might be able to buy some of that and hang it from my stands...
So as of yet it appears that no one will be there on Friday during the day.?. Is that correct?
Also, for the folks that will be traveling, I tried to contact the Holiday Inn Express hotel (the one across the street from the venue) to arrange a group rate, but the manager has not called me back yet. He did sound open to the idea, but I've called back twice now and he's not available. So I don't know what the status is... Still, if you do decide to stay at this hotel, you might want to mention that last year everyone got a discount rate. Maybe he'll feel embarrassed for dropping the ball and give you a discount anyway. (Be sure to mention that you're in town for the laser meet at the Triangle Boat Club.) And even without a discount, it's a very nice hotel to stay at, especially since it's so close.
