SELEM 2009 Info and Sign-up Thread

[buffo]

I agree that one of the major draws of this event is the coordinated beam shows. But we'll also have some very cool graphics shows to run this year, don't forget.

I think the voting idea is probably best. After all, it's a community event, so it makes sense to organize it around the community's wants, right?

By the way - update time: Mike Dunn and Greg Makhov have officially notified me that they will be unable to attend, even though they both were really looking forward to coming. Maybe next year guys...

Also, I've been in touch with Carmangary, and he said he's not really interested in doing a formal presentation on his Spaghetti software, but he did say that he'd be happy to demonstrate it and answer any questions about it for anyone who is interested. He'll be arriving in town early Saturday.

Notice that the attendee list has been updated as of 11:30 this morning, and we have a couple new names there. Dean Hammonds will be attending this year (he wrote the analog abstract synthesizer software that was running on James Lehman's projector last year), and we'll also have a new member from around my neck of the woods (Kevin Harris) who will probably be bringing a Lexel 98 for us to try out.

Still waiting for final registration from ljk, 300Evil, Keeprex, and Imagelight. (Saddly, Astroguy will not be able to make it. Work conflict.) Also, remember that today is the deadline for booking your rooms at the Holiday Inn Express if you want to get the group rate of $75 per night.

9 days 'til load-in folks! 9 days 'til load-in!

hum, think i might come to this. is it too late to sign up and get a t-shirt that fits (XL)

Certainly not too late to sign up, not sure if we'll have a shirt for you though. All you need to do to register is send $35 via paypal to Buffo. See the first post in this thread.

[dream beamz]

ok, well i dont want to pay for a t-shirt if i am not going to get it and I also want to know what time the raffle drawings will be. sorry if these were covered in the previous 9 pages but I dont keep up with the thread since each year the chance of me attending is very slim even though I am probably one of the closest attendees (35 miles)

My time is short so the nit picky things are important to me.

The registration largely pays for the venue, the shirts were relatively cheap and the embroidering was free.I have all the shirts, 34 of them I think, most or all of them are accounted for, though if Adam had an XL intended for someone who isn't going to make it, such as a guest, then yeah, well have one for you. As far as a raffle, there are several door prizes submitted this year, I guess the idea of when to hold the drawing for the door prizes hasn't been brought up, I kinda like the idea of hold them early so if someone wins something they know nothing about, well there is no better place to figure it out than at SELEM.

You better drag your ass the, what... 50 miles, to the venue. I'll be in your hood later tonight for the ColdPlay concert tomorrow. Do you still have me number?

get it right, 35 miles from my house since i live in north west charlotte.

You going to be at Verizon wireless amphitheater tomorrow? or in Raleigh tonight. either way i saw them 3 or 4 years ago and it was crap. verizon is too big and there is no good crowd interaction

[allthatwhichis]

We are going to Verizon tomorrow; we have the last two seats in the general admission section. The boss is a ColdPlay obsessive and when we saw them in Orlando I had the worst seat in the house, actually behind the stage but not back stage... When we saw them in O-Town they did some fairly good crowd interaction; I think they were green when you saw em.

Once you are at Verizon, you will understand why i have not seen one good show there ever. I would much rather something be at HOB orlando or Firestone orlando than Verizon Charlotte

I know that Verizon is an outdoor massive area compared to those two as indoor small spots but nevertheless even if you compare Verizon to a venue of similar size the place and overall atmosphere sucksssssssssssssssssss

George;

He's not going to the concert because he's a huge fan... He's going because his girlfriend is a huge fan.

I'm guessing that she'll have a great time no matter where the concert is held. And afterwards, Aaron will probably have a good time as well, as a way of saying "thanks for driving me 10 hours north to see my favorite band in concert"...

As for SELEM, yeah, just sent a paypal payment to me and you're all set. I think we'll have an extra shirt or two. Oh, and we'll probably do the door prizes on Saturday. I'm thinking right after lunch or so.
