Spring Florida CMN'er meeting

[kbob]

Florida CMNers sound off-even if you can't make it this time, we'd love to here from you!!!

I've contacted a few of you already about this, and there seems to be some interest, so here goes!

Post Easter, probably after national tax day, would be best (we've even got a 20 year celebration for our church post easter/pre tax day, so it's a busy season here).

Thursday or Sunday evenings, perhaps a Monday, have already been suggested so far-who's in, and what days/nights work for you?

I'm trying to get some of our lighting and audio crew to come this time myself, so feel free to try to get some of the rest of your teams to come if you can (if you're a one man band, so to speak, feel free to invite yourself! )

[thelmuth]

Where would this be held? I would be interested if it was close enough.

Friday evening would be my first choice, with Sunday second.

Not 100% sure yet-

We could hold it at my church again, in NW Orlando-

or ?

That's up to you folks!

Wildwood isn't next door, but it's not a bad drive either for some learning and lots of fellowship. We'd love to have you as a part of it.

[kbob]

Hopefully we're going to be having Steve V. help us out by teaching a lighting safety class at the next Florida CMN'er meeting. I'm guessing at this point that's going to mean that we'll be in Orlando, as both he and I are located here.

We're shooting for sometime between now and the first week of May. Sound off for the days you can make it. A lot will depend on site availability as well as when Steve can make it.

I know some of our church's lighting and video crew are already interested, maybe Sstanton and thelmuth. Who else is in?

[kbob]

Both those dates are good for me so far-how 'bout everyone else!


From Steve:

between now and the first week of may?

April 26 or May 3 might be available if a Saturday can work.

My "day" job is afternoons until 10 or 11 PM during the week. That would put a damper on any evening meetings.

[Smob]

I can make May 3 but not April 26.

[sstanton]

Saturdays are not great for me, it'd have to be morning and I have to leave in time for our run-through and services. Sunday afternoon or evening would be better for me... but don't let me stop the meeting.

[kbob]

Love to have you make it if you can doc-and we'll see what we can do. I'm not sure where we're having it yet either, but hope to hear from a few more as to when they could make it.

[kbob]

Hey-see a lot of look see's...

Even if you can't make it this time, let us hear from you for next time. If you're considering it, understand that lighting will be the main topic, but there will be a Q&A session at the end where we can break out and help each other out, plus coldstones hopefully...

[Steve Vanciel]

A Sunday afternoon or evening are possible if that is when people are available.
How long of a meeting are you thinking about?

[kbob]

usually around 90 minutes including the q&a, but excluding the coldstone visit. Is there a coldstone near your church? I'm thinking it might be easiest for you to teach from a home base, if that's feasible...

Gotta keep up the traditions...

so the lighting part would probably be around 40-45 minutes, unless you'd like to make it longer? I know there's a ton to cover...

It would be like me trying to cover mixology in the same amount of time...what do you leave out.

If enough people want something longer, though, maybe we can structure it differently if you're up for it.

I'm going to be in the area the 3rd week in August (at the Pop Culture Resort in Disney) with my family. I might be able to sneak away an afternoon or evening.
