Well, truthfully, you don't. Not unless you're Mike Dunn, that is!
The guy is a genius when it comes to abstracts. Was hoping he could make it to FLEM, but he had a prior commitment.
Hey Cat!
You win the "trouper Mom" award! I'm impressed that you hung in there for the entire event. It got painfully loud a few times (even I had to put ear-plugs in!), but you never faltered. (Even my wife can only put up with that sort of thing for about 30 minutes or so... Then she retreats to the bedroom!) I think it's awesome that you not only stayed, but really tried to pick up as much as you could. I know it's a lot to learn, but we don't mind answering questions, so don't be shy about asking them!
I think Matthew was overloaded. Towards the end you could see his eyes darting this way and that, trying to decide what to look at. I think he overdosed a little bit!
But I know that he's got a hundred ideas in his head now. Can't wait to see what he comes up with at SELEM. Mark my words - you'll see great things from him.
And Matt, that DMX board is incredible. Even after we talked about it on the phone, I had no concept of just how awesome that thing was until I saw it. If you need all that to contain your creativity with just *LIGHTS*, then I can't wait to see what your laser shows are going to look like dude...
Once again, a big thanks to everyone that helped make this a success. I'd do it all over again next weekend if I could!
