[Lab] Got extra EL wire?

[Andrew Plumb]

Definitely wait until after Winterlude and for warmer weather then.  No rush!

What I'll probably do then is order a small quantity and a couple of inverters (one to use as-is and the other to hack for audio-modulation) from Adafruit to get started with proof-of-concept.  See http://www.adafruit.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=50

Thanks!

Andrew.
