SF Bay area meet in January 2012

[Picasso]

How many can we get for an SF bay based meet? I will provide the location. My warehouse in Oakland, CA. I have a great space to host in with 30' ceiling and about 200' long by 30' wide. I can provide chilled water and 240v 3phase, and 208v. I will see about putting up a spinning planetarium projector base if anyone want to put a laser for a "spin" I have a coherent pure star, plus a few cheap china toys to get things kick off. I also have an mdg hazer. I am new to the forums but a long time laser nut.

No cost , no need to msg me for tickets but is nice if you RSVP so I can get an idea of how many will show up.

January 13-15th Oakland, CA


You can attempt to sleep on the floor if you like. I have limited gated parking, lots of parking on the street. Have BBQ Grill and a few food options near.

I'd probably show up if there's enough interest. I have friends in Oakland, and January/February are months during which I enjoy the Bay Area. :-)

I am so in! This just might motivate me to finish my projector!

Also, I got some sound that I can contribute to the cause. 2 JBL Dual 15"s and 2 other 15"+tweater cabs I picked up for free.

[dsli_jon]

I am all in! (..pending werk - I'm slated (hopefully) to be heading down to Aussielandia, prolly right around then.. we'll hafta see...)

...If you want, we could 'mash-up' your Coherent Purelight with one of our Laserium-projectors, and see what happens?? ...You know, kinda like what they did with 'peanut butter and chocolate'... 'Hey!! you got your pcaom-waste all-up in my lumia-section, man!!!'

Officially staying-tuned...

I have the lsdi excalibur on that laser, can't access the waste beam.....But Im all for taking the laser of the sled to play. I need to burn this laser hard for a few hours its been some time since it was fired. But I did just pick up that copper vapor laser on ebay.

But I did just pick up that copper vapor laser on ebay.

Congrats on the copper purchase.... I too eyed that for awhile, but have enough projects to keep me busy for now. Please post some pics when you get it fired up! Looks like you got a pretty sweet deal.

I'm interested. Not a lot of laser show stuff left here other than the old 2.5W RGB. I could bring a LaserScope or 2. Might be able to convince a friend to bring one of his 20W projectors we built around 8W 577nm Taipan...

[Picasso]

Started to drag out my coherent tonight and look around for spare 4wire 6awg to make it from the power box to psu. Looks like I have to run to the city and grab another 3 phase breaker all are in use here. Will grab some extra 100amp blow type fuses for the main feed to box, as I have 50amps of 3phase load now with servers here in the warehouse. Add to that the load of the coherent and I should be near 100amps! Come January I will have reduced the load here a good 40amps. So we will have the power for two big ion lasers....Good times.

Thanks to "Vidal Wolf" for giving me a boot in the ass by wanting to bring his laser over for testing so the time line is moving right along for a larger photon exchange in January 2012, Thinking January 14-16th.

[Picasso]

Just a bump as a reminder, I went around and put up about 8 bounce mirrors, still clearing out years of crap to make as much room as I can in the long hall.

Date: January 14-15th Oakland, CA

[discothefunkyhippo]

Need any help?

15 charazards

[Picasso]

Yes could use some help putting up some scrim. But I won't be doing that till end of the month-ish also have a large speaker system here that I need to make cables for.

I have a manual mill/lathe if anyone wants to mod any parts or make up some small brackets. I am limited by the bits I have. My tooling was sold with the project I had the mill for so best to bring your own bits. Have welder and plasma cutter should you need to use.

[Vidal Wolf]

Plasma cutter eh???? We should talk!

[platinum]

This is shaping up to be a very well-outfitted LEM!

[Picasso]

Here is a before pic, lots of this stuff is moved out now. spot the lasers win a prize. http://shup.com/~picasso/amess.jpg

[Vidal Wolf]

Im going to go out on a limb here, I dont like advertizing other peoples space, but, hes got a great place! hes got the power, the water & more than enough room, height and length together. It looks really good.

[Eidetic]

I'm busy the evening of the 14th, but can be around to help during the day on the 14th, and on the 15th for sure.

[Picasso]

Weekend of January 13th to 15th....AKA Friday to Sunday. And not Saturday to Monday as I had listed in the first post...oops. We have a few options for pizza and other food all in a 2 block easy walk. I can loan you a sidearm if you dont have your own, this is Oakland.

I kid about needing a firearm guys. It's not a bad location and I have a fully fenced yard for parking. For those taking BART, I or someone can pick you up from the MacArthur bart station its about 10 blocks away.

[j4cbo]

I'll be there...
