Daryl Hurd Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 Jenn and I are so in!This time I want to come up Friday and maybe even stay Sat night to talk to everyone...I could talk abit about building the CoroCandy Canes and doing some interesting things with it.. We built a pretty good Tune To sign out of Coro that I am really proud of... I would love to show people how to build their own.I might even have a prototype CoroStrip for pixels too..And I might even have great news about the enclosed stars I sold last year. I am working with a suppiler to get better pricing and have a pixel already put in.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zman Posted January 3, 2013 Author Share Posted January 3, 2013 (edited) Friday afternoon/evening is clean up/set up at the Foley's and Friday Night is the Pizza feast meet and greet. There are quite a few hotel/motel options in the area. I may opt to do this also this year instead of the 80 minute drive to/from my house.

rainyoregonchristmas Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 I'm in again! I'm gonna try to make it on Friday so I can be awake this year instead of leaving home at 3:30 am again. Hopefully I'll also not have to have as much coffee just to stay awake. I'll also understand more than just a few things that we'll most likely cover. And this year I'm also planning on bringing a few things for the swap meet. See you all in May-Matt RossRainyOregonChristmas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My head STILL does not have a very good grasp of it all... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magish01 Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 Ditto on the E 1.31. Only way I know how to mix colors is to beat my head against the wall HARD. then I see multi colored stars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rainyoregonchristmas Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 RGB sequencing +++++++++++(I'm dragging my Father with me this year and we have to figure out how to program his new Mega Pixel tree.) As far as a topic, what about a "Show and Tell" topic where folks show us new and different elements they have created for their displays. Seeing other peoples creativity often inspires more creativity in others. Like seeing Frosty last year. We could have creators just give a quick 5 minute or so explanation of their element, and maybe hand out a set of plans or pictures to everyone if they are feeling generous. -RainyOregonChristmas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zman Posted February 28, 2013 Author Share Posted February 28, 2013 Matt that is one of the subjects I am pushing for. If I can pull it off, we will have a session around Nutcraker and Madrix. We sort of did the Show and Tell, 2 years ago and it worked out well. We opened with that in the morning. Limiting to new items could work a bit better. Keep them ideas coming!

jimswinder Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 Hey Z... You could put me down to do a "How To" on my collapsible Mini Trees...if there is any openings and or interest... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeKinne Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 Man, I really want to go this year but we have a family event that I have already tried to get out of (I was better off when we did it the same weekend as mothers day) --Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zman Posted March 5, 2013 Author Share Posted March 5, 2013 Jim, I am on biz and vacation travel for the next week. I have a bunch of material to start forming an agenda, but i would say that is a pretty interesting topic as we are all interested in saving space for storage. if you have any other cool ideas like that incorporate them too. I can see us talking about this for sure. Joe, bummer. Mothers Day weekend was not so bad for me either. Those traveling had the most conflict with Mom's Day. Maybe we can see about a Booster again after the Summer National meetings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
