Texas Christmas Lights

Guys and Gals, it is that time again! Time for a Dallas Chapter Meeting!

After the GREAT success of February’s meeting we are hoping to repeat if not better the attendance. Bring your friends, family, and neighbors - all are welcome and we don’t turn anyone away (the fire marshal might, but we won’t).

Harrison is  planning on bring plenty of equipment to demonstrate (LOR ‘PC’ controller, Showtime controller, Director, Mini-Director, Ramsey FM30B, LOR Computer System, S2).

Several other members have talked about having a little structured sequencing class and show how it all comes together for the newbies of the group. Each station will have a laptop, LOR adapter, LOR Controller, and lights. Please provided feedback and let us know if there is interest; we can always strike this idea. We had some talk about DMX if someone can bring a few fixtures and LOR DMX controller.

But mostly the same format as in the past - everyone has fun. Please post any requests for things you would like to see (Website Design and Hosting, Security, Webcams, Hardware, Electrical, LEDs, LOR Triggers) so we can have the equipment and kind of plan a little. Also any projects you have are more then welcome.

Fabian has volunteered to bring his high voltage bulb tester to demonstrate. If you have any bad incandescent strings bring them, along with some replacement bulbs and we will help clean them up for you.

Food will be the same as before - Pot Luck - so bring what you want. Please post in the forums what you are planning on bring so we can fill in the blanks. This worked GREAT and I think we had a nice spread.

WiFi will be provided (For those of you who HAVE to be connected); we have access to a DVD & VHS player along with an overhead projector.

Date: 29 March 2008
Time: 10:00 AM to when we call it quits or we get kicked out
Food: Pot Luck
Location: Grand Prairie Animal Shelter on Warrior Trail
2222 W Warrior Trail
Grand Prairie, TX 75052

Thank You Bob and Kenda Stacy for providing an excellent location at the Grand Prairie Animal Shelter. The animal shelter is so kind to let us use their facility for FREE so we do ask for a small monetary donation to be made to them. We will have a collection jar with the sign in sheet; our target is minimum $5 per person and $200 as a group. This will go to help many needy animals and your help will be greatly appreciated.

An after party will be announced later and will be held at a local (to the meeting location) member’s house (If the invitation is still open).

Dogs are welcome but they have to be friendly and play well with others. Kids are welcomed too, with the same restrictions.
