I'll echo this and add that it would be nice to mix in more beam shows and abstracts into the mix. The planetarium shows are enjoyable and include some great content, but the auditorium doesn't have the same impact as a planetarium. Swamidog and I did an LSX mix of beamshows and his lovely abstract work last year on Saturday night. Additional shows from both "old" and "new" talent followed. It appeared to go over well with the majority of the attendees. I, for one, would like to repeat this approach at least one evening.
Also to further Brad's comments regarding beam shows, the auditorium is a unique space with 6+ fairly well matched projectors that few of us could replicate individually at our leisure (exceptions include Brad and a few others . . ). I would like to see more done with these projectors in addition to the lovely graphics and abstracts that come out from the DZ/RGB-Gas equipment.
One final thought - I would really like to know when content being played was created by a SELEM attendee. Content (especially good content) seems to be hard to come by these days and I'd like to be able to applaud an attendee's work instead of assuming it was created by company X back in the 1980's.
Just my $0.02 . .
