[SML] LDI Recap

[Richard John Archer]

I was in Orlando  for  9 days with a some CU  students,  first for a competition sponsored by Ryerson Univ and Universal Creative  then some IAAPA.   A lot of driving them around and then seeing that they met some folks at IAAPA.   SO…..those 12  miles of aisles,  39,000 other folks and a small group of 20 yo’s kept me shell shocked.   I’ll process what I saw.   Mostly refinements of what exists….sort of like what many said about LDI  this year.


Did the follow spot museum have a Berkey Colorspot….had two of those back in the early 80’s as bridge spots.

Howdy folks,
I’m finally back in the office, and out post-show meetings.  So… How was everyone’s show?
What was your favorite thing?  I liked the Fleenor Battle-Bots, and pretty much everybody I bumped into liked that cool kinetic ball sculpture.
I wasn’t as sold on the giant Q-Bert booth for Mod Truss.
The Follow-Spot museum in the Lycian booth was absolutely fascinating.  I especially loved the one that had 2 1000w bulbs, and basically looked like someone just welded 2 units together to make one twice as bright (which, from the explanation I got is pretty close to how it actually came to be…).

On the business side, we had a great show, and were extremely busy, which was great… But I did not get to spend as much time on the rest of the show floor as I would have liked.

How was everybody else’s show?

And… Hey Dick Archer, how was IAPPA?  What did you see that was cool?
