Hey folks,
I would like to have some sort of presentation at the banquet. I am working on getting some pics (cd form) from people but we need a way to present them. The hotel charges an arm and a leg to rent A/V equipment. I was hoping that someone in our fine organization would have the equipement and be willing to set something up for us. Please let me know.

Thanks!!

So what you need a laptop, a projector and a screen right?

What does a local TV type rental store charge for the projector and screen? Maybe that'll work out.

I'm sure that is all we need. I'm not so much into that kinda thing. Not sure how much it would be to rent it, probably quite a bit based on the prices I got from the hotel. Thought I'd see what our members might have.

What? You laugh like I am not there often :)

seriously though Liz....if you need my laptop or a DVD of photos let me know. All you need to do is send me a list of links to photos you want and I will make the DVD for you. I just require it back at the end of the night (both the laptop and the DVD).

Heck, for that matter, I am willing to let every racer within WMRRA to request their favorite photo from the season (please folks....a link not a file name, Ihave over 200 DVD's from just the 2007 season alone) to compile into a DVD for the WMRRA slideshow.

Hey Liz check out http://www.presentationrentals.com/projectors.html

They are on airport way in seattle. Found this via Google. Projectors are $225 a day and a screen is $55 a day.

You could also contact one of the 2-Fast guys to see who they used for their Seattle 100 dinner.

Remember that we are a not-for profit organization. Companies like to help out the 501(c)'s like us (IIRC, that's what we are), so don't be afraid to sling that around. Offering a bit (or a lot) of advertising at the even can help subsidize the cost, too.

Thanks for the info guys. I know we can rent it but I don't want to have to pay for it, set it up, etc if we have someone in our organization that already has the equipment and the knowledge to do the presentation.

Brandon, I would love to see if between you and Angie we could get some great race photos and candids. I would love it and greatly appreciate it if you could be the technical advisor/tech for us. :hail: I'll call or pm you.

If anyone has any really great race photos or candids, pit shots, etc, please get a hold of Brandon (after I schmooze him into helping us:D ) or myself.

Thanks for the input folks!! I think that we are going to have a great time!! I have already talked to Laura and I am just going to plan on doing the banquet next year so we can have that date and location nailed down early in the season.

Get those reservations in!!

Liz - I've got the equipment if we can borrow Brandon's laptop - I have to check with work to make sure it's ok I bring it home for the weekend but I suspect it's not a problem....

:bigok:

nice.

um...I was thinking maybe we could have some people's race video's playing in the background during the non-presentation time. Ditch the sound of course.

If you can't, I have access to a projector. Let me know, it wouldn't be a big deal to borrow it either from my work.

Hey gang. I have both a projector and a laptop that can be used during the event. Someone just has to load up the photos and videos or send them to me.

Do you want to be appointed head of the Entertainment Comittee? :bigsmile:
I have no knowledge to do something like this and definately not enough time. I'm sure we can get pics from Brandon, Angie and a few others. Let me know! I sure would appreciate it and I'm sure the crowd would love it.

Let me know! Thanks!!

Oops, must pay attention to the forum. Sorry for the late reply. PM me for faster service. ;)
UUUUU.... I dunno... I'll be happy to put the preso together if pictures are sent to me, but I don't have to be THE guy for the committee spot... How long do you want the preso to be and do you want any music to go with it? If you can get pics / videos to me this week or next I'll put it together.
Again - PM me for faster reply... :D
