I just got back and it was amazing! I'll post some pics tomorrow. Right now I'm still in shock because I found out Dr. Spark lives about 2 miles away from me amazed

Huge thanks to everyone who set this up, I can't wait for next year!

All,
I flew all the way from Denmark to attend this Thon, but frankly, take it from me, It sucked big time.

Just kidding :o)

The audio modulation was awesome, the realtime sax played trough Dr. Woo's modulator on Dr. Spark's bipolar was fantastic. Santana came trough real clear too.

We had a blast, lots of celebs around, and This sure is the 'thon to go to.

Everybody are going to go potty over the SS stuff, so here is a pic of Henry's old classical tesla coil

This Teslathon ROCKED!!! Quite literally. Even Jeff Parisse joined in on the rocking by playing the drums alongside Little Red and the Bipolar coil. I had a great time meeting all the big name coilers and getting to see all the awesome coils there. The timing of this event couldn't be better, it's well distanced from any other teslathon, so it's easy to go to. I will definitely be going back next year! The only thing that could have made it better for me is if I got my little DRSSTC running, but that was my own fault.

Here are a few of my best shots from the 'thon. You can see the rest of them on my flickr page.

My favorite image is the last one in this series. You have to zoom in for the full effect. The expression on Chris's face is priceless.

By the way, thanks Chris and Henry for having us all over. The teslathon was great, and I look forward to next year!

After a full day of driving home (back to CA) I can now post a whole bunch of pics. The thon was fantastic. (it was my first one I've been to) Enjoyed watching Chris' bipolar. They had it hooked up to a saxaphone!!! Quadzilla was awesome, probably the "coolest looking" coil I've seen. The power from Quadzilla was incredible. Chris practically melted the end of a screwdriver which served as the breakout point. Fatboy was incredible as well. That is one powerful coil. I was stunned at how long those streamers were, and I don't even think Chris had it a full power either. I learned a whole lot too!
