Thanks to Tymm Twillman and Chico Macmurtrie and everyone who helped to make this event a success.

This was the first time I used TouchOSC on an iPad to control the machines. We used TouchOSC to drive MAX/MSP which in turn drove an Arduino micro-controller. Fun stuff. iPad as portable multi-touch controller is good.
