We had our annual Kentucky Derby party yesterday with over 60 guests. I had all six downstairs zones going plus the upstairs system. I found a spot upstairs so I could see the race on the 92" projection screen. It was awesome! We didn't get the front projector until last July, so this was the first year for the race on the big screen for us. The folks downstairs had to settle for the 60" Kuro plasma in the den, a 50" Pioneer Elite plasma in the living room with the new XR200's, smaller LCD's in the kitchen and study, or the most popular option, a 42" LCD outside on the patio.

After the race, I was forced by popular demand to do two demo sessions of the upstairs theater, and I used the opening chase scene from the "Casino Royale" Blu-ray. It was well received, to say the least.

All in all, we had a blast!
