I started a separate thread for people to sign up for the LSO class. If we get the required number of people signed up (minimum of 6), the class will be held on the Monday after SELEM. If you want to take the class, please post in that thread so we can get a count of all who want to take it.
Regarding the RC racing, I think this will be a lot of fun. As Chris said, it's not racing in the traditional sense... It's more about just zooming around and having fun with the quads. The "race course" will probably be nothing more than a few poles stuck in the ground that we have to fly around, and we're not going to keep track of lap times or anything. So yeah, if you have a 250 series quad (and especially if you have one with a first-person video system), then please bring it to SELEM this year!
We are getting very close to the event now, and there are still some big pieces missing. For one, I haven't heard anyone requesting time in the Auditorium for displaying specific shows. If you would like a block of time to run some of your own shows (or just a block of time to run some of your favorites, even if you didn't create them), please get with David Kumpula (dkumpula) to ensure you are on the schedule. Also, we still don't have a good logo for this year's event. Being that this is the 10th anniversary of the event, I'd really like to have some more choices for logos before I put up a voting thread. So please post your designs!
Another thing to remember: the Auditorium is a great location to film your artwork. If you ever plan to submit your work for an award of any kind (be it an ILDA award or something else), you will be hard-pressed to find a better location to take pictures or video of your laser artwork. So keep that in mind while you are at SELEM, and if you have specific shows you'd like to record, be sure you get your name on the schedule!
