All Aussies post here!

A couple of us are looking at getting a LEM together in Sydney; we think we’ve found a near perfect venue that’s somewhat easy for people to get too (well for those in Sydney)

To get thing rolling were reaching out to find how many would be looking at attending and therefore look at how many days we host it for, we’re looking at dates around middle to end of January or very early February (as Australian day is on the weekend of the 25th it probably rules out that weekend of January for some wishing to attend)

We also need to get numbers to work out costs and see if this is going to be viable.

For those that aren't registered members of PL and therefore can’t post/message, I have set up an email address sydlem @ iinet . net . au (remove the spaces) to express your interest (however, it would be preferable that you became a member)

So, well need to get numbers as early as possible so please post here or email ASAP

Once we get some idea of numbers I’ll post some more details but just to give an idea of where the venue were looking at is, it’s about 3Km (6 minute drive) south of Central station

Had a peek the other day, it is a great place with a side room for kitchen/building/chatting/repairing and a nice area for the shiny business end of the LEM!! It will work a treat.

Am excited....

Please ignore my last post I see the first post actually states close to central.

Hey zerowaitstate

It's in Zetland



This is the venue from the website

• main hall: 17 metres by 9 metres
• side room: 7 metres by 3.5 metres
• kitchen: 9 metres by 3.5 metres.

Make sure the venue is smoke machine friendly (fire alarms)...

Yeah, that is a question I will be asking

There are some other pros and cons:

Pros
Tables and chairs available for use
Non-residential area
Close to various transport options
Limited car parking available

Cons
Access is only between 8am to midnight (penalties apply for use beyond these times)
Will need to block the windows
Hiring charge (although we may be able to get a 50% discount on this)
Will require public liability insurance, however for a for a fee we maybe able to get cover under the venues managers policy

Accommodation wise, it is a bit limited, there are quite a few pubs around that can provide a room or there is plenty to choose from in the city
For close proximity I'd probably recommend this http://www.centralrailwayhotel.com.au/ and it's just down the road from where I live so I can provide a lift

HI guys!

Im new to Sydney and to Lasers!
but love all this ! and will be playing lots for sure!

I posted a question
http://www.photonlexicon.com/forums/...rt-laser-setup

so basically I want to make a star by bouncing a beam on mirrors on top of some tripods for an art show,

But my question please is,
what is the power [Watts] needed for my star, each angle of the 5 pointed star will be about 3 to 4 meters of distance to the neighbour angle,
I need to bounce the beam on mirrors, smoke will be used.

so please, where to buy some modules to make this happen?

thanks!

Maybe try to keep to the original thread though, the double posting could make it hard to follow... :-)
