Yes yes! I have a digital video camera with a 360x zoom! Beyond 20x (the optical zoom limit) it starts to get grainy, but it has some really cool imaging effects. I'll be bringing it and a tripod. You can zoom in on things that are almost too far away to see with the eye! It's a most fun toy. What would be nice is to take 30 minutes of one particular person and let them keep the tape. If we have many tapes we can do it for everyone at some point during the week.
: Rich, this sounds great!
: One thing that people really enjoy is seeing

: from your "friends" as you jibe after jibe. :-(
: I personally have always wanted to make a run to

: take forever to get there and back).
: Sure, we could do a relay race, esp. if the
