Aqua Visual FX had a great booth at LDI this year.  For those of you who don’t know about Aqua Visual FX’s products, it’s basically a water billboard, with the images and text you want displayed shot down in sheets from a top point.  All the water is in a relatiovely closed circuit system, with the water being recycled once it reaches the bottom.  You’d think that all of that water hitting the ground would make a lot of noise, but because of the baffle-like filter at the receiving end of the water, it is very quiet.  I’ve seen a few of these in use at trade shows, but LDI’s display was my favorite.

I put together a really shaky animated GIF of the pics I took of the Aqua Visual FX booth, and I’ve posted some pics below.  Check it out, and check them out.  The gif is a little large - it should load itself and stop being shaky in a few seconds…

JimOnLight.com, Leiascofield.com, Lojjic.net, and Accidentaljulie.com were all on site last night with the GeeksWhoDrink.com special events team. Handful of Peter, our trivia team name, won the competition, and a bunch of iTunes gift cards! Lots of fun was had by all. We also got to hang out with Maggie from Norcostco and her great beau, Jacob.

Check out John Wilker’s Ignite Denver website, as well as the very fun Geeks Who Drink. We’ll definitely be at another one of their outings!

If you don’t have your tickets for Ignite Denver yet, GET ON OVER THERE! Come on down to Fado Irish Pub in Denver to hear yours truly talk about how ROCK AND FREAKING ROLL it is to be a lighting designer!

Thursday night in Denver, Colorado, a new musical opens called Bubs - A One-Man Musical at the Avenue Theatre.  A good friend of mine and fellow lighting designer, Jacob Welch, is the LD for Bubs.

Ignite Denver is happening on September 10 at Fado Irish Pub in Denver.  If you’re not in the know about Ignite Denver, check out the official site, and then check out what I’m doing at Ignite Denver.

Geeks Who Drink trivia is happening before hand, and that will prove to be a lot of fun, I’m sure!

I’m going to be talking about the world of light and lighting design at the local Ignite Denver event on September 10, 2008 - Ignite Denver is a social event where a bunch of people have five minutes to talk about a unique topic, with a 15 second rotation of slides.  I’m looking forward to it!

More about this in upcoming weeks.
