I've always wanted to organize one, my family and I would always have one at Christmas time, and I tried a few years in a row to get them done at my high school dances as a kid but we couldn't do it on a projector or find a big enough CRT.

I remember it being brighter and happier, but that's close enough.

Yeah....I've got a 27" TV that'd work quite well for a DH tourney. It's not huge, but it's still nicely sized for such an event.

What would happen if you put a small CRT on top of an LCD tv to use as a reference point, then split the video signals to go to both TVs? The zapper is merely approximating the aim to the relative positon anyways, right?

For an LCD or Plasma you could try jury rigging some sort of Wii like motion sensor setup, and translate/generate the required signals in to the console.

Question is, do you want this done *before* MGC? And at what cost? For that matter, what cost for having it done anytime after? :P

(in other words, easier said than done :) )

EDIT: (just thought of this) Shirts can come in just about any color (even black if you reverse the color!) And could feature the benheck.com logo on the back 8)

Welcome to the forums Marty!

We should do a planning chat with the forums members one of these days. As mentioned before, if anyone has ideas for a chat client, or Ventrilo client, we have plenty of server power to do any of that.

It would also be good to come up with a comprehensive list of what we didn't like about our booth (or rather what we did with it) and what we DID like about it.

For starters, doing a schedule was kind of a bust. And we should definitely encourage guests to bring us stuff to perform simple mods on.
