Arizona Mini - Official Invitation - Please Respond if Attending

[lightman]

Would anyone be interested in seeing my train? I know a lot of people showed interest on lightuparizona.com.

I am happy to announce that einstein2883 will be presenting his "Lighted Train" at our AZ Mini on Saturday.

Also I am happy to announce we have another donated raffle prize from LOR company that will blow your socks off! Remember, winner must be present to collect prize.

We have 18 confirmed participants with a full agenda.

It may be a bit warm, so we are considering moving outside demos up to the morning and move the presentations inside in the afternoon.

Stay tuned for an updated agenda.

Regards,
Lightman

Due to circumstances beyond my control I will not be able to make it out to meet all of you tomorrow That is sometimes the penalty of having school age children

I do however hope to still meet everyone and see your displays this year!!!

Caroline, John & Brian,

Thank you for putting this together. It was very imformative and I'm glad I'm not the only Arizonian in to this hobby. Sorry I had to leave early....sick wife and son at home. I may even get something going with servo's and figure animation due to the excellent Halloween presentation. That was very intriguing.

I hope to get around to everyone's displays this year to show the wife and kids just how insane this hobby can be. I hope we have other get togethers to possibly discuss the different hardware options out there. I think most of the people today that aren't DIY'ing their own controllers will be surprised at the savings and excitement of what putting one of these controllers together will do.

It may be a good idea to map all members locations as we get closer to the holidays so that we can see what everyone has been up to since this event. And yes...I would even make the trip to Tucson to see your house Brian.

Count me in on any future gatherings, meetings, discussions, etc.....

KUDOS!!!
