Wow! FLEM was a blast! Thanks to everyone for making the trip. Really glad to see so many new faces at these events.

I've got a list of all the winners of the door prizes. I will try to post that tonight when I get home. (Busy as hell here at work... Walked into a minefield here and have been running my ass off all day.)

Lots more to post, but no time right now. I do have video of DocJohn, by the way. Will post that later as well!

Gotta get back to work for now though.

AC was great!

Never felt too hot in there considering the amount of heat we were generating... We did blow the fuses a few times when we hooked a couple argons though

The only multi-watt we had there was the amazing solid state green that DSLI_Jon brought out. Outdoor show at ~10PM no smoke and full beams... amazing!

No massive argons though... mine was doing ~180mW and DZ's was only set on idle I believe doing ~15mW, split beam with a dichro and a lumia.

Guys, what a fantastic time this event was. Even though we had to put up with a smaller venue, I had a great time. A bit of a highlight for me was seeing daedal's projector run the raster show. That is the first time I've seen the Linea show run so well on a solid state projector. I don't know what you've done or how you did it, but you did it right!

A big thanks to Bill from Pangolin for joining us again! I think it speaks volumes about the type of person he is when he spends his valuable time with a rag tag group of hobbiest!

Another big thanks to Amanda from OSLS for lunch!

It was great to see some new faces this time! LJK, DSLI_Jon, Mophead, Edson, Laserzone, Cat, DJMatt

DSLI_Jon, you rock! The 4W laser was awesome!

300Evil, yep, stuka nailed it, YOUR A MADMAN! Thanks for joining us, your surprise entrance was brilliant!

Edson had a fantastic little projector that he built, especially for being his first! Nice work! LJK also had a very nice projector, again for being the first! I'm very impressed by the quality of several of the projectors at FLEM, especially since several of them were from first timers.

I apologize if I've forgotten anyone! Thanks Buffo for organizing yet another fantastic event, can't wait for the next one!
