time to get some interest going

One thing I want to discuss is how some of you are going about your audio recording - specifically what methods to avoid wind noise? Unfortunately my otherwise nice miniDV cam doesn't have a mic input, so I'm forced to tape microphone muff (as in, used on a stage mic) over the mic which doesn't have great results.

Anyone else have any goals for our meet?

Hopefully this very thread will prove to be a perfect place to make the following request: Assuming my father, Jerry, comes with me to this year's WTD...I would be extremely grateful to have folks pass along to me any candid photos they might take of me with my dad over the weekend.

PS. Dang! Where are all my s2ki photo albums ?

or, bring a memory card, find me, and I'll let you take mine for a run...just don't run off with it...
i'm going to be interested in seeing where people mount the gopro when shooting video... this is my first run with it on the car so i'll be curious to see all the various shots...
