Anyone interested in forming a group in the Bay Area (California)?

[tbetgeorge]

Hello!

 

I would be game! Usually ThFS are my best days. But if its in the bay area (work in Hayward) I could get off work for a few hours on MW! (I'll never hear the end of it at work, "crazy eric and his lights" but comes with the territory!)

 

Look forward to it!

Eric

Eric - just saw your matrix on YouTube. You're insane! Would love your company, ha! Will make me feel better about my first year madness...

[htebault]

If a day works to get together, I live by Mission San Jose  in Fremont and would be happy to host the meeting here. What would we like to have as an agenda ? 

[Ken Benedict]

 

It is a four hour round trip from Sacramento, so weekends would be the best for me.  I have to be honest, I would love to do like a day long thing perhaps every once in awhile.. Regular meetings would be tough for me.  But there is teleconferencing!  Perhaps!  

 

 

>Well lets make it happen for sometimes in August then. I know I am busy August 3rd, and I know I can have some others from the Sac area show up as well. I am using the Joshua System P12 for my smart strips, Ray Wu's 27 channel controler's for my dumb strips, and about 6 LOR controllers.

 

 

I'll offer to drive a car pool from the Sacramento area; my car can hold me + 3.

Could you make July 27th then too or was quoting your way of emphasizing you prefer the latter (August 3)?

Thank you, I am!

Maybe the best thing to do is plan several? It may be hard for all of us crazies to get the same day off! Like waiting for all 8 planets to line up! (Did you hear about Pluto? That's messed up, huh?)

Either date is OK with me.

[pgchristmas]

I am certainly in for August 3rd!!

Darn, July 27 and Aug 3rd do not work for me. The day after (Sunday) for both of those dates does work.

[bdeditch]

Well lets plan for later on in August

[pgchristmas]

August 5th works ( sunday) for me, as does the 18th.

Getting it to work for everyone is going to be difficult.

Perhaps, the people that are hosting should pick a date for there location that works best for them, and the rest of us make it work (or not).

I tend to agree with you. No date will work for everyone. August 5th is a Monday BTW.

Pick a date and a location...Lets all try to make it.

I have another person interested in joining us from around the Elk Grove area.

[htebault]

Somehow I got elected to propose a date and agenda - so here it is. Chime in if you want a different date/time - or if you would like to teach one of the sessions -

 

 

Ok - What about Saturday, July 20, 2013? in Fremont, Near Mission San Jose off of Hwy 680.

Agenda could be;

 

10am - meet and greet , share experiences with LOR 

11am - Seminar session 1 - (need a subject/leader)

12Noon - Lunch break -

1pm - Seminar session 2 - (need a subject/leader )

3pm - wrap up

3:30 end

 

 I have a dedicated computer for LOR - and can share access to the wireless here for others computers during the event.

I could share either last year's setup (48 channels /mini/led) with power planning, controller balancing and setup/tear down.  - I could also share this year's planning for the 12 CCR tree under construction using 3/4" alum tubing that will run in addition to my initial 48 channels from last year.

 

The agenda should serve the interests of those who can attend - so I am open to that.

Starting at 10 and ending by 3:30 should give our out of town crowd an easier way to join in.

[tbetgeorge]

I'm in, and thanks for volunteering  your home!

[Ken Benedict]

I'm in.

 

Plasmadrive: need a ride from Elk Grove?

[plasmadrive]

[thebaronn]

I actually should be there! Sweet! Look forward to meeting other escaped mental patients!
