We may be able to use the flying truss - but Aaron would need a very long ILDA cable to reach it once we flew it into position... Give that he's uneasy about having an $8000 projector hanging 35 ft in the air to begin with, I think we might want to stick with tripods and tables.
By the way, I have some updated information on the special guests that were invited to this year's SELEM.
Bill Benner is still unsure if he will be able to attend, but he *does* want to come and is trying very hard to make it. Unfortunately he probably won't know for sure until the week before the event. If Bill can attend, he'll be able to talk about several topics, including the new LASORB, version 5 of the LD-2000 software, and QuickShow for the FB3.
Patrick Murphy *will* be attending this year, and he has a presentation on Audience Scanning that he'd like to share with the group. He will be arriving late in the evening on Saturday, so his presentation will probably be given on Sunday.
Greg Makhov is pretty sure he'll be able to attend, but his travel schedule is very tight. As it stands right now, he should arrive back in the US within a day or two of SELEM, so assuming he can get everything settled quickly upon his return, he'll be able to make it. Greg is planning to deliver a presentation on Color Theory and Color Balance as it relates to laser projectors. He may also have a short presentation on power measurements that will dovetail nicely with Patrick's presentation on Audience Scanning.
Mike Dunn is seriously bummed out, because he really wanted to make it to SELEM this year and its looking more and more like his schedule will not allow it. But he hasn't given up all hope just yet. He said he will know for sure by the 1st of August if he can make it. If he can't make it, he said he would send something for the group to enjoy in his place.
