All Aussies post here!

This could be done in Google docs to allow every one access

Also should look at doing it on a long weekend to make it easier for the out-of-towners

Long weekends for this coming year are:

New Year's Day Monday 3rd January
Australia Day Wednesday 26 January
Good Friday Friday 22 April
Easter Saturday Saturday 23 April
Easter Monday Monday 25 April
ANZAC Day Tuesday 26 April
Queen's Birthday Monday 13 June

with ANZAC day the only day that is different between some states (NT, Queensland and Tassy)

Also, need to keep in mind letting the Kiwi's come and play

Personally, I'd be pushing for Australia day but that could be a busy period for some

Hmm, long weekends are pretty bad for us show wise.. Usually a few shows each long weekend..

Adrian mentioned possible use of a venue for little or no charge

hey Barney,
nice show at defqon.1 on the hard stage, bet you loved that music.

[fuzcub]

Yeah, was a prety good show, earplugs *and* noise cancelling headphones worked well, and I could still hear the music in the back of my throught.

After an hour or two of 185bpm mainstage sounded like elevator music ...
All up, the crowd had a great time, and the event was well organised.

I see this post is a little old but in the interest in linking up with other Ausi enthusiasts.....

Just introducing myself, I’ve been involved in production and lighting for over 10.... yikes nearly 20 I should say, with my hay day being the big dance parties in Sydney in the early 90's (yes I feel like an old fart now)
.....
I use Fiesta, as a controller with a view to getting a pangolin setup when the budget allows.

Can you tell me what do you think about the Fiesta software you have?
Is it as I understand, I mean true professional?
How many hours have you spent to learn all the features and how to squeeze maximum from it?

Fiesta is a great piece of software, It's very easy to pick up and run in short order. As to how long it takes to squeeze the maximum out of the software is hard to tell. Its really only a week to know all the ins and outs, and if you have a good laser projector literally hours to do basic shows.

I found the thing that had the biggest effect on my shows, and opened up access to the artistry of doing laser shows was the purchase of a MIDI contorl surface. You can really make the interface drop away, and with some thought map out layouts that really allow you to access the power of the device.

I hope this answers you question

Hey guys

another sydneyite here - I've got a 500mw RGP, which will be getting a 445 diode soon, a frame streamer express on its way, and am getting the spaghetti software. After new year I will be upgrading to Quickshow/FB3.

Hi dash8brj,

Welcome to the party!

You live about one train stop from Troy (loopee), Hi Troy

If you haven't already met, get in touch, he's a real nice bloke and has some killer hardware!

Wayne (dnar) in Perth has just bought Spagetti to and might be looking at Pangolin gear later as well. Might be handy for you to compare notes.

Sending some good vibes from the west coast of our big island.
