nice to meet you

[Booth Familly]

just like to say it was nice to finally meet the man that has the best light show in the bay. As i said earlier my famiy has been going to your show for years. It's now tradition and the girls always ask to go to your house and even after going they ask when we are going again. again thank you for doing your show it always brings a smile to everyones faces i see. if you ever need help let me know i will do whatever i can.

tim booth and family.

ps we heard about the show from a friend not from lights of the valley

Hi "T" and family !!!,
It's great to hear from you, and of course it was good to chat for awhile even though it was raining elfs and reindeer. Of course we are glad to hear that the show is a favorite for your daughters.

I couldn't help but notice your generous donation check in the box at the end of the night when the results were being deposited. Considering the long distance you travel and the "change" in your career, it is greatly heartwarming to see that such people as yourselfs are still around.  It's the kind of sacrifice that a higher power rewards. 

As a side note, your contribution is multiplied in several ways. When we visited the Cerebral Palsy Center to "check them out" a few months ago, I could see the great need they have to provide for many people whom are in serious physical trouble.  Not only does the center help them with physical needs, they train and assist people to become self-supportive by doing things such as creating internet businesses that not only give them some financial support, but give them satisfaction and pride.  Bottom line, your contribution and ours goes a long way to helping people who struggle through an uncorrectable unlucky break in life.  You are fortunate to have two healthy, happy daughters.

If you get down this way again, knock on the door if I'm not out there.  Run past the big mean security guy, come get warm, and have some eggnog.  Since you are knowledgeable about the equipment process, perhaps we can take a few minutes to look at the new sequences on the computer.

master of lights,

sounds great and like i said we will be out there every weekend. if it's late i wont knock for respect of your family. also i woud love to see the programing and get a better idea of the stuff i'll be playing with, since i got laid off as you know i had to delay buying the equipment. But as you can tell i like to research things so i know what i'm in for. also my wife misses "learning to fly" i think you know who thats from and "christmas" i beleave it's called from tso

Tim, Gee you are observant. I think you have the show memorized from all the previous years!
Yes, I cut "Learning to Fly" because its length is still over 4 minutes even though I cut out some of the middle from the original live song.  It became a casualty of the shorter show this year.  You may recall, one year I had "Comfortably Numb" in the set in a couple of past years.  Likewise, I don't use it any more because it is REALLY long!

FYI... I am putting together a sequence that I will use for only 3 nights at the end of the season.  It will be Dec 31, Jan 1, and Jan 2.  Since New Year falls on a Friday this year and is close to the weekend, I will run the show one extra day.

The 3-day set will be extended with 3 more songs.  It will include the two Pink Floyd songs from past years.  Annoucements will be as short as I can make them in an attempt to cut time.  The result will be about 35 minutes.  By tonight, I will have the main web show page updated with that information.

Hey Tim,  ah rats... sorry I missed you.  I had to unexpectedly run out in the afternoon to speed a couple hours with my eye doctor.  All is well, but it did need attention.  I arrived back here only 15 minutes after you came.  It's probably just as well since it was a hectic night outside and required some attention.  You'll see a posting about that later.  I'm hoping we can get together at another time either during or after the season.  Christmas Eve and Christmas night will not be a good time because my attention will be needed outside.
