Adler volunteers
If you're of a mind, we could seriously use three to four volunteers -- aka, drunken deputies -- for during the talk itself:
- Two people to run the studio cameras. This would basically involve showing up fairly early, and I'm told about 10 minutes of training to show you the fluid head tripods' operation and the zoom/focus, etc.
- One to two people willing to pass wireless handheld mics to folks in the audience with questions.
I'll be there early helping to setup (Yes, this is bootstrapped, so I'll be there helping run sound cables and helping breakdown afterwards) and if you're interested in helping with one of the above, shoot me an email.
Additionally, we're looking for a few trustworthy individuals to walk around the after-party for 20 minutes or so each, documenting whatever might be being shown on laptops or other cool things. If you think it'd be fun to help out a bit, just let me know.

If you need remote assistance from Houston I'm your man. How about a call in segment? :-)

Dang. I moved in the opposite direction of Chicago for college. It's too bad, I was rather close before. And let me say that I'm still glad that the bar is open to those under 21.

D'oh. All tasks I've done before professionally and would gladly do for you for gratis... but alas, I'll not be in attendance. :(

Depeding on how things work out, it looks like the train will land me in the windy city ~4 hours early, so I'd be more than happy to help out with the cameras...

DB, I'd be happy to help. E-mail me and let me know what you need done and where and when to meet you.

I'll have either my Canon 20D or Powershot SD300 in tow, so I'll be sure to share the pics from those. We plan to leave West Lafayette at about 1:30pm, so we should be in the Chicago area by about 4pm or so. Let me know if that will be of any use...

I can help.

I'll be arriving between 5 and 5:30. If you need someone else for camera ops, I'd be glad to help. It's been almost 20 years since my studio operations lab course, but I think I can work the rust off for one night.

Just saw the note about scrounging mics on your earlier post. If you're still short, I have an Audix OM2 I can loan for the evening - afraid it doesn't have an off switch though, so not so good for grabbing audience questions.

I'm able/willing to come early and help out in any way you might need. Just let me know when you would want me to show up.
Grr... if I was going I would be the first with my hand up. Envy betrays me! Best luck DB, I'll be looking forward to the webcasts - thanks in part to the two volunteers who man the cameras :)
