    Updated the attendee list! Looking really good this year. Here's a few updates:

    DZ: I think you'll be fine in the little nook near the entrance ramp for the gallery. Will Joe be joining us again this year? I know his mobility is restricted these days, but if you set up there he should be OK to move between there and the auditorium without too much hassle.

    For anyone bringing glow in the dark stuff (Kumpula, Swami, others?): I'd like to repeat the setup we had last year in the entrance way between the outside doors and the auditorium lighting and sound booths. Does anyone see a problem with that?

    I'd like to keep the gallery mostly open this year so we can set up tables so people have a place to eat. It also helps with traffic flow to not have that space choked with people all the time. Presentations will be in the upstairs classrooms or in the Cafeteria. Most of the demos will be in the cafeteria as well (with a few exceptions).

    Re: subwoofers - As Brad mentioned, we already have one for Club-SELEM. At present we don't have one for the Auditorium, but I'm not sure we'll need one. Worst case, I can get a B-stock 18" JBL 1000 watt powered sub for around $500 if we decide we can't live without it.

    The Eurorack synths and DJ gear sound great! This will dovetail nicely with the renewed interest in all things analog, from abstracts to Scanimate! Sal, do you want all your gear in the club, or will you want to have some in the Cafeteria to demo? Obviously you can always move it if you need to. Just thinking that if someone else is spinning in Club-SELEM and you want to demo the Euro-Rack, you'd have to shout to be heard over the sound system.?.

    General Question to all DJs: do we want to have a separate, dedicated DJ space in the Gym, or should we continue with the typical line of tables at the back like we've done in previous years? Thinking that if 3 or 4 DJs are all set up in a line along with all the laser consoles we might end up with a space crunch.?.

    Last year in the cafeteria we had DJs swapping out their gear after their set due to the small space and this led to some equipment problems / lost cables / etc that I'd rather avoid this year if at all possible. If people agree that table space along the wall could be a problem in the gym we could easily mark out a dedicated DJ area on the side (thinking maybe in the back corner just in front of where I normally set up my console so it would be close to the main mixer). Thoughts? (Hope that there will be a few DJs present during load-in to help set this up...)

    Love all the ideas for the Auditorium live abstract shows! I'm sure they will *ROCK*. At the moment we have Friday and Saturday from midnight until 2 PM blocked out for this, but we can add more time in if people want. Please get with David Kumpula to check the schedule. (Note that we'll have live music in the Club pretty much all the time, so as a guideline - where possible - I'd like to have the live beam shows in the club and use the auditorium more for abstracts and graphics.)

    One general note about the Auditorium: We're planning to integrate a master kill switch on a small lighting desk in there. Basically we will have a buffering device installed in-line on each ILDA cable between front-of-house and the projectors on stage and in the balcony. All these buffers will connect via DMX to the lighting console, and a single button on the console will kill the RGB output on all the buffers.

    We will also use these buffers to zone in all the projectors. Thus, when people go to the auditorium to get set up, they shouldn't need to adjust any zoning at all. Set the scan field to 100%, and the buffer boxes will do the rest. (That's the theory anyway - we shall see if we can actually get it all to work!) If this ends up being a huge headache, we can scrap the idea and go back to the old way where everyone zones in manually. But if this does work it should dramatically cut down on wasted time in the auditorium.

    Note that at the moment we are still planning to do an outdoor laser show with the Western Piedmont Symphony Orchestra in downtown Newton on Sunday night after SELEM is over. (Just like we did the past two years.) However, this year things are rather disorganized on the part of the town *and* the Symphony, so I'm starting to have my doubts. I'll keep everyone in the loop as we get closer.

    Less than a month to go! And only 11 days left to sign up at the standard rate and be guaranteed a shirt! (Registration price goes up on the 20th, but the shirt order also goes out that day.)

    Well, that's what I get for skimming the thread.

    The eurorack system will live in the Cafeteria so people can play with it to make sound or hook it up to the laser (or both!). It won't be too hard to move if we want to have an EPIC jam in the Club. I can probably bring a table for myself in the Cafeteria, though I might need 2 :\

    My DJ setup fits on half of an 8ft table. My eurorack cases also can fit on half a table. I will be there for load in so I can help with logistics. Guessing Kevin will want his own table. We have a bit more space in the Gym if I remember correctly. What we did last year by putting the DJs in front of the laser control worked pretty good and we could do that again.

    Who else wants to DJ? Please comment!

    Also, I'll be around till Monday again this year.

    We (Whitcher and Draco, actually) will be bringing 2 tripods to hold our 6 lumiators.
    This is so we can split them up if needed, between the auditorium and wherever else desired.
    Bringing our 6-channel analog lumia controller:

    One of these was designed by an engineer (Wayne), and one by an artist (me).
    Can you tell which is which?

    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.

    Places his quarter on the console for next play.



    I love the skeleton and Halloween fence in the background.

    Last year on the last night of SELEM swami was wanting to head out, probably at a reasonable hour, since he had a flight the next day. I was able to suck him in for another two hours by letting him take a turn on the console. What are friends for right.
