Sure -- ebay has been good to me, and I was able to pick up three DV 
video cameras and two mixers for very little cash.  That plus the 
equipment I already owned should get us pretty far.  I'm planning to do 
a few dry runs over the next week just to test the new equipment.

I will also add some details to the recording page in the PyTexas wiki 
including:
- what we have
- what we may need
- what volunteers can do to help.

I'm new to video, so any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.   Thanks!


Tim
