For those of you who missed out- we just posted pictures of the July Make & Take in the new Photo Gallery! The event was awesome- the food was incredible, the company was fun, and the demos and props were AMAZING!

Randy drove up from Tucson and brought all of us VORTEX LASERS! Man, these things are soo cool- added in with some fog and you’re all set! They form a ‘Cone’ of light that swirls with the fog that passes through. And yes, he just made them and GAVE THEM TO US- what a great guy!

Speaking of Fog- Specter brought his Vortex Trash Can Chiller for all to see. Why spend $300-500 on a professional one when you can build this yourself for around $20!

The Topic of the entire event were LED Fireflies. We each made a set, and tested out different strategies and sizes to determine the best effect. WOW these things are cool! We hooked them up outside and they worked perfectly! You’d have thought you were in the Pirates of the Caribbean ride in DisneyLand! Looking for a How-To? Charlton wrote one up and you can view that in the Discussion Forums.

Check out the Photo Gallery Now to see all the action!

I was planning on building a laser vortex this year- I just came across this on Instructables. VERY impressive!
