fwiw, the expo will be in Biloxi MS this year.

Also: Carmina Burana: oh Fortuna Toccata and fugue in d minor

In addition to the above....Here are a few songs that could be used, but aren't necessarily mainstream in the LOR community Phantom of the opera -Andrew Lloyd webber. I prefer the overture. Almost anything by "Nox Arcarna". Werewolves of London Witchcraft - Frank Sinatra Bad moon rising -CCR Black Magic Woman -Santana Boris the Spider - the who Dead mans curve - jan and dean Dead mans party - oingo boingo Don't fear the reaper. -boc Frankenstein - Edgar Winter Group Godzilla - boc Ghost riders in the sky - Johnny cash I put a spell on you - CCR Kung fu fightin

You could build your own rather than buy one. That being said, assuming the face has multiple positions like open, closed, oooo, eeee: Assign channels as required. Sequence accordingly one note at a time.

Eddie in Madison ms controls 9 houses on his street.

Hire a bouncer and check id's.

You would be surprised. You can likely sell for anywhere between 70% to 85% the current LOR prices.

Wait until January and pick up supplies from the one-year wonders that got into the hobby after watching a YouTube video and then discovering how much headache is involved in the hobby. No,72 channels up isn't to much. But if it is money that concerns you, then start at 32 and build up during subsequent years. Set a yearly budget for what you will spend. In December, buy lights on clearance. In summer, buy LOR on sale The advNtage of LOR is its resale value. If you bust out, you can sell and recoup nearly all your money.

You may want to consider the Monkhouse JUMP tree. Made of steel, it is easy to assemble and lift into the air. They brought one to the Mississippi Mini a couple of years ago. I do not know how tall it was (could have been 30 feet). But it was impressive. http://www.magicchristmasnews.org/magic_christmas_news_002.htm

use guidewires like you use on a mega tree to hold it up at the top.

The problem you would have would be cold temps. You have a recipe for a snapping pole in high, cold winds (cold defined as subfreezing). If you get temperatures into the teens or below, SCH 40 PVC gets so brittle, it will crumble under hand pressure.

A previous thread said to email chuck about this. I don't know if he is monitoring them.

Use black out caps on your excess bulbs.

Use a plastic paint by krypton. You might need to prime it first. Painted several of mine. That being said, you might find a local supplier tat sells it in the color you want.

Check the amperage of the fan to see if it is running to specs. If it is, your only hope is to use a spray sealant to try to close pores in the fabric. If this does not help, then it is a dead soldier. Sometimes they just give out.
