im definately gonna try to make it but i got some traffic tickets about a week ago ive got to get paid first... im hoping it wont eat up all my money b/c ive already asked for the day off from work.
Wow, the guest list on page 1 is getting rather large! Especially with over a month to go before FLEM!
I live ~20 mins away from the airport, so I can pick you up as well if needed

I suffer from the Dunning–Kruger effect... daily.
Just a thought -
For those flying in for the meet (confirmed AND hopeful!), perhaps if we posted our flight schedules we could meet at the airport and split the costs on a rental vehicle. Anyone interested?
(I should find out today or tomorrow if I'm "confirmed" or not)

Sweet.....
Just wondering, if there are several folks that are arriving on friday, do you guys want to get together for a pre-FLEM dinner somewhere?
Sounds cool - especially since it's an established SELEM tradition as well!!
If I make this event, I definitely plan on a Friday arrival!

Hey folks!
Wow - this "little" event is picking up steam now! Lots more people on the list than last week, that's for sure... Keep 'em coming!
As for dinner, there is a *great* Italian place about a third of a mile from the venue. It's called Angelo's, and it's on hwy 441 between the Mt. Dora Canal bridge and the Dead River bridge. They've got great food and reasonable prices. (There are also plenty of chain restaurants within a mile or two of the venue; they're all on hwy 441 as you head west towards Leesburg.)
Unfortunately, it looks like I won't be getting into town until very late on Friday. I probably won't be able to leave Charleston before 6 PM, so that would put me in Tavares at around Midnight. There's a possibility that I might be able to get out of here earlier, perhaps around 2PM, but it's iffy at the moment.
If things change, I'll be sure to let everyone know, but it looks like this time I might have to miss the dinner party. (I'll call you guys on the drive down, and if it looks like you'll still be there when I get into town, I'll stop in for a drink.) I'll be driving down with a buddy of mine, so once we get on the road it will be non-stop straight to Tavares.
For those of you that are thinking about staying the night, be sure to check out the deal at the Holiday Inn Express in Tavares. It's literally 200 yards from the venue, and we have a group rate of 89 bucks per night *if* you book your room before the 27th of February.
Also, more information on door prizes... Dave and Aijii at LaserShowParts.com have agreed to donate three door prizes for the event: (Woot!)
1) DMX 8 channel relay board
2) single channel DMX-TTL board
3) DMX single channel servo driver
So there you have it; just under 5 weeks left people... Make your plans now!
