Hi, I bought my projector as soon as I got back from Iraq with visions of life size Dance Dance Revolution exercise sessions in the basement.

While I have never actually played DDR on it... it is probably the best investment I've ever made with the possible exception of my motorcycle.

Anyway, I am in Colorado Springs and was wondering if there are any other CRT enthusiasts in my area.

Thanks,

Mark

Mark, there area a few in Denver for sure. Look up Draganm and GEBrown.

Glad to hear that you made it back from Iraq ok. We appreciate and thank you for your sacrifice. You stationed at Ft. Carson?

Don't know what DDR is but the projector is a lot less likely to get you killed than that motorcycle unless you hang it from the ceiling incorrectly ;)

Oh, so THAT'S why you only ride your bicycle - weighs a lot less!! :)

Mark,

Yeah, there are a few of us in the front range area. I'm in the southern end of Denver, Dragan is farther north. PAW is somewhere in between us and there are others.

What kind of PJ do you have?

You helped us out over in the sandbox, I for one would be happy to help you if I can.

Thanks, I have a Sony 1270Q. I'm building a new screen tonight and will probably mount it tomorrow then comes the arduous task of calibrating and focusing.

I wanted to get the basement finished first, but no time or money right now.

I keep looking at others theaters and get a little overwhelmed. Someday, I'll get mine set up.

Thanks for the responses.

Well, Just finished making a parkland screen.. turned out pretty good. I'll be mounting and setting up the Projector tomorrow and hopefully watching movies by dinnertime.
