Tesla coilers of the Midwest!

The Geek Group Summer Teslathon is only two weeks away! It will be at 
GeekHouse, and probably another local member's house, pending weather and 
work schedules on Saturday, Aug 2. Time - all afternoon and into the night.

We're clearing out the long term storage garage on Friday. All the 
must-keep items are being moved back to the Geek House garagage, where room 
will be made to store them.

We'll fire up Project Groucho, which should be working again tonight, and 
our newest transformer - a 75kV, 100mA transformer that served as a hi-pot 
tester in a former life. It was a donation from Elite Testing outside 
Chicago in late January (and we have yet to actually fire it up!). I guess 
we'll fire up Project Mercury - our 6" TC, as well as tinker, schmooze, 
mingle, and play. Everyone is encouraged to attend, and to bring friends, 
TCs and other fun toys, and items which you want to sell or barter. If you 
want some stuff from the garage, this is the time to bring a trailer and/or 
pickup!  (email cboden-at-thegeekgroup-dot-org for garage items for sale/barter/trade)

Make sure to label all tools you bring!!!

The Geek House room mates are moving out, so there are two open bedrooms 
upstairs (my wife and I have claimed the third, small one) as well as the 
ubiquitous couch. Bring an air mattress, pillow, blanket and towels!

Let us know here if you plan to attend, or notify Chris Boden or myself 
directly so we can attempt to put some plans together aside from "playing 
it by ear."

Cheers to all!
