Re: Geek Group Halloween Teslathon

This "thon" is planned as a far more social event than a hig voltage 
festival.  Think of it as a convenient excuse to get together with a bunch 
of people with similar exotic hobbies and interests and hang out for a 
while.  There will be some "smaller" arcs and sparks, and we'll hopefully 
pull out some of the Thumper caps to explode a few pop cans.  We can handle 
small devices in the garage and house (the kitchen seems to be a favorite 
congregational area for some reason), out of the weather.  If someone wants 
to set up a bigger coil and the forecast calls for rain or snow, we can set 
up a large tent off the front of the garage or between the garage and house 
as cover.  At this point we aren't expecting any coils larger than a 5 foot 
tall 6" coil (our Mercury coil).

Are you considering attending, Dan?  It would be quite an honor... and 
quite a drive.

Cheers,
