Live from Florida.....if you have not logged on to see it....well you are just missing out. At least support all the guys who moved all their stuff for this by checking it out and letting everyone know it is a great time......even if you can't be there.

Since mine was the only projector not running due to a scanner issue, I am running a few beam show on the event page to test my new hybrid set of scanners... 1 dt40 (Y) and a scan pro30 (X).

It has never looked better...

Not too many shows, the boss'll take the lasagna away.

Just to say guys...

Thanks for spending the time setting up the uStream video link. I thoroughly enjoyed being with you all (in a virtual sense) for the four hours or so I was logged in. It looks as though you all had a great event, I only wish I could have been there in person

Bill's 'fast' tuning of those scanners was amazing, and some of those shows that I haven't seen before were simply stunning. Thanks for the effort folks. All we need now is to pursuade Bill to come over to the UK for a Pangolin users meet

Cheers

Jem

Dee and I made it back home today at noon. We had a great time. When we had 3 rgb units running together was stunning!!

Bill I can`t thank you enough for spending your time with us and also for making such a killer product. I think everyone with a laser scanner should have Pangolin. To everyone else who attended it was nice meeting you all and geeking out.

. Adam the beer was great and Aron the lasagna out of this world. I wish we could do this every weekend. Maybe we should open a laser theme park?

A laser theme park... Now there's an idea!

I made it back to Tavares around 2:30 AM Sunday morning. Drove back to Charleston later that afternoon and just crashed. Feeling better now though. (Lots of driving) At least the Jeep didn't give me any more trouble!

Great event guys. Thanks to everyone who participated. We had quite a few no-shows this time, but we also had some unexpected guests, including Patrick Murphy (the other founding member of Pangolin, now the Executive Director of ILDA), Aron Bacs (formerly an engineer and research director at AVI, now president of Bacs Design Incorporated), and one of our new members here, Robert Teorey of LaserTainment (sorry, can't remember the names of the crew members you brought with you). It sure was great to meet you all.

And yeah, the 3 RGB rigs running in sync really looked great - especially with the scrim in front. Clandestiny's pair of Lexel 85 argons were great to watch too. (Love those old-school beam tables!) And it looks like Allthat's RGB projector is finally working like it should. (Sweet!)

For those of you that tuned in to the PhotonLexicon Event page to watch, I hope you had fun. I apologize for all the problems with the choppy video in the beginning. We were running off a cellular air card for the first 6 hours or so, and that really hurt us. (Not enough bandwidth) Once we got the DSL link working it was better. Then too, we had lots of problems with the broadcast software crashing, especially when running on the air card. (Turns out that it doesn't play well with other software packages. It's fine if you run it by itself, but it doesn't like to share resources.)

Also, the sound was lousy. That's my fault. I had intended to pick up a decent sound mixer prior to the event, but I ran out of time so we used the microphone on the camera itself. (yuck) A mixing board would have made it so much better. Next time we'll have better sound.

If you missed the live webcam, I have some recorded clips here on my Utream.tv show page from FLEM Mark II. I didn't get as many as I wanted, because the damn broadcast widget kept crashing. (Each time it crashed, I lost whatever I was recording.) There may be a maximum length per clip as well, since it seemed to lock up after I had been recording for a while (longer than an hour). But who knows... Like I said above, the sound is pretty bad, but the video makes up for it. The clips that have a star on them are ones I've recorded in my home. The rest are clips from FLEM Mark II.

Once again, thanks to everyone who helped make this happen. I had a blast, and I'd do it all again in a heartbeat. (Even with all the problems I had with the Jeep!) It was a great time.

Now I have to go unload the Jeep. Ugh - where am I going to put all this stuff?

I managed to log on a few times during the day and it looked like you were all having a ball.
Well done all those that attended and those that put it together.
