Lyman Rate 0 Posted February 26, 2012 Report Share Posted February 26, 2012 I know all of us are resting after a hectic finish and are recharging ourselves to prepare for this year. Was curious to see if anyone would like to meet and chat about what we thought went well last year, what went wrong, and any new ideas they might be looking at for this year? I have a few things I'm working on for this year and was wanting to see how others were doing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mel S. 10 Posted February 26, 2012 Report Share Posted February 26, 2012 Lyman I would be up for it. I noticed on lightorama forums there are two new Wichita members. I would try to get ahold of them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lyman Rate 0 Posted February 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 I didn't see that - will have to go look for them. I know I live about an hour north of Wichita, and if anyone would like to head up to Hutch I'd offer to host ya'll Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Davester40 10 Posted March 2, 2012 Report Share Posted March 2, 2012 I think a get together would be just fine. Just let me know when and where you guys want to do it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
socrnet 0 Posted March 18, 2012 Report Share Posted March 18, 2012 Hey guys, my place is alway open for the get together. Just let me know when you want to have it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lyman Rate 0 Posted March 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 (edited) With Spring right around the corner or rather already here - What say we do a get together sometime in the next couple weeks? I have a manager that will be needing most Saturdays off coming up soon until May so I won't be able to do much once she starts the planning for her party. I'm game for something say April 7th? I do have this weekend off both friday and Saturday - don't think it's possible to get together that quick Edited March 19, 2012 by Lyman Rate Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mel S. 10 Posted March 21, 2012 Report Share Posted March 21, 2012 April 7th would be great, I like to meet at Steve's if that's OK with everybody. If we can do it then I will try and get ahold of the two or three new people and Eric. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lyman Rate 0 Posted March 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2012 I will ask the other manager about the 7th - I don't personally see a problem but she might be doing something regarding her family party they have in May. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
eagle5 0 Posted March 26, 2012 Report Share Posted March 26, 2012 Hi everybody. I'm one of the new guys in Wichita that you've all been kindly talking about. I'm not new to Christmas displays but I am new to PC. However my brother is really new to it all, but not a PC member. His gig is Halloween over the top, it's pretty incredible. I would like to attend your pow-wow but I might be several steps behind you guys. I have 80 channels (LOR) that I purchased last year which I recieved in November, yes November, and you probably already guessed it, my software came in November also. With help from my cyo kids I got the display put together, but no controllers. I was getting heat from the neighbors, so I made the tough decision to go static. Now that your up to speed my brother and I would love to join you, but will understand if were just too new for the group. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
socrnet 0 Posted March 27, 2012 Report Share Posted March 27, 2012 Hey guys, the 7th would be fine with me. If you'd like my house works for me. I don't have anything new for next season to show off, but I did fine tune the engineering of my 10 ft. spiral trees. Now I can really tell you what not to do. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mel S. 10 Posted March 28, 2012 Report Share Posted March 28, 2012 The 7th would be great. So we all meet at Steve's. I am sure he will get back on here and list his address and directions. eagle5 if you get a email from through LOR it is because I am not sure which new member you are there are two . Steve tell me we are are on and I will start trying to contact everybody else. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
eagle5 0 Posted March 28, 2012 Report Share Posted March 28, 2012 I haven't recieved any info yet. [email protected] is my e-mail address. Thanks Mark Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lyman Rate 0 Posted March 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2012 Mark -Everyone one of us was new to this at some point and we welcome you and your brother with open arms and are glad you are part of the decorating community! We all learn as we go and most of us will be able to help you with how not to do something, ways to do something easier, better, and the nice thing about the small group that we usually have come to Steve's house is a mix of Animated Lighting and LOR guys. So plenty of info for both and I am more than willing to help with any thoughts. I will bring over my donation container that I've been working on and some of my drawings for one of my ideas for this years display. I still don't know if I will do it, but the thought is still there and on the fringe of being a reality for the 2012 display. I will go in and request that day off. I will just tell the other manager that it's important. She'll work with me on that! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lyman Rate 0 Posted March 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2012 (edited) For some reason it double posted my comment so I deleted this one..... sorry Edited March 29, 2012 by Lyman Rate Quote Link to post Share on other sites
socrnet 0 Posted March 29, 2012 Report Share Posted March 29, 2012 My address is 1462 N. Coolidge, Wichita Ks. 67203 - phone number is 316-721-5719. Nearest main intersection is 13th and Amidon which is at 13th and the river. From Amidon and 13th go east across the bridge and you'll pass a quick shop of sorts on your left. Turn right (North) on the next street which is Coolidge. Follow your nose almost straight North for about three blocks. My house is white with green shutters on your right. There's a long driveway and you can come in the front door or the door on the North side of the house. You all want to do this at noon? Let me know what time works for everyone.

Davester40 10 Posted March 29, 2012 Report Share Posted March 29, 2012 Noon sounds good to me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lyman Rate 0 Posted March 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2012 (edited) Well the 7th won't work for me. She will be out of town that weekend so I guess ya'll will have to have fun without me. And she just called me and said that it worked better if she had Sunday off and I could have Saturday. Crazy! So I'm in for the 7th! Edited March 29, 2012 by Lyman Rate Quote Link to post Share on other sites
eagle5 0 Posted March 29, 2012 Report Share Posted March 29, 2012 I'll be there at noon and I'm sure my brother will make it too. Thanks Mark Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mel S. 10 Posted April 2, 2012 Report Share Posted April 2, 2012 I will be there. Matt sorry you can't make it maybe some day but I understand going to school makes it hard. eagle5 I wanted to ask are you and your brother listed in Lightorama forums as tjflory and dburson , that was the two new members in Wichita I noticed in the forums. If you are I sent you a PM through Lightorama . See you all there. Mel Quote Link to post Share on other sites

socrnet 0 Posted April 2, 2012 Report Share Posted April 2, 2012 I see Mel, Lyman, Dave, eagle5 and his brother. Are there any others planning to come? I need a rough head count and we'll order pizza for around noon on Saturday. Thanks! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mel S. 10 Posted April 2, 2012 Report Share Posted April 2, 2012 I sent Eric a PM have not hear from him yet. I since two PM to the two new fellows on Lightorama forums,I do know if that is eage or not, heard back from one of them this morning wanting more information. I should no more this week. As soon as know I will let you know. Mel Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mel S. 10 Posted April 2, 2012 Report Share Posted April 2, 2012 By the way Lyman have you tried to contact the two fellows in Hutch. Also has anyone contacted Biscuit? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
eagle5 0 Posted April 2, 2012 Report Share Posted April 2, 2012 I'm listed as eagle5. My brother is not listed because I told him Chuck won't accept anybody with less than 32 channels and 90,000 lights. We all know that's not true, but that will be our little secret. It will be funny to see his reaction when he finds out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
