Re: [TCML] New Geek Group Video - How To Phase NSTs

["Jeff W. Parisse" <workshop@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Chris,

In mid-April, there will be a MAJOR announcement regarding Hollywood and the 
Tesla coil community. In fact, at an event last Saturday attended by some of 
Hollywood's best (including Academy award winners) photographers, lightning, 
sound and stunt technicians, the links between Hollywood and the greater 
Tesla coil community (scientific, artistic and, ...  you know, "others") 
will become more clearly defined.

I'm not talking movies; there are plenty of scripts flying around so expect 
a more serious motion picture than "The Prestige" soon. I'm talking about a 
highly visible group of people taking command of evangelizing Tesla's 
contributions and way of thinking.

We're gonna blow your mind with the unexpected and this time it is not all 
about me. ;-)

Chris, these upcoming announcements will give you the avenue you seek... 
Mid-April Guys... ;-)

Jeff
