Well, after my dedicated outdoor screen came tumbling down in blizzard weather last winter, I decided to try an inflatable screen instead. I did my internet research, read the reviews, etc. and finally ordered. I was hoping to have it arrive in time for my July 4th show, but good old UPS showed up with it on July 5th. Well, what's another week? I was all set to try it out last Saturday, but business calls started coming in at 11AM and took up most of the day; by the time I wrapped things up, it was after 6PM so I scratched the idea. I swore I would get this out of the box and reflecting the Eiki bulb tonight, but the weather has been horrendous: it is now dusk and the heat index is 111 and that'll melt your popcorn butter in a hurry. I'll keep you posted, but here's a photo of this beautiful screen in the meantime.

Still ready to pounce on perfect weather for an outdoor show, but...the screen looks exactly the same as in the above post...nicely boxed. I patiently await each weekend and so far it has been a washout in these parts this summer (we're about 1/2 inch away from a record 14" rainfall for August.) Today, I had the fun of sitting at a red light thinking my car was sputtering and stalling when all along it was nothing but an earthquake. And I just checked the weather for the coming weekend and it looks like we may see Hurricane Irene. Anyone else have more luck than I?

Chris, don't forget you will need to set it up during the day so the sun can warm up the screen to get the wrinkles out.

I wish that was all I needed to do to get rid of my wrinkles :roll:
