campus anywhere. And the local dealer only charges us for refills). <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="background:white"><span style="font-family:"Helvetica Neue";color:black">I was recently approached by my building principal about adding fog and possibly some lighting to our football team's field entrance for homecoming. My first
thought was to use something like a G3000 or Vapour Plus fog machine but then I started thinking that something like the Chauvet Vesuvio RGBA may be a better choice. I get fog and light on the fog in one package. We would be doing our entrance effects off
the field near the track. I believe power is available less than 50' from this spot. So far I am leaning towards 2 Vesuvio foggers and control from an Enttec USB DMX interface and some shareware/freeware software like Q light controller. Any advice other than
do not have cables crossing the running path of the players? <o:p></o:p></span></p>
