Default Announcement: Location of CanJam 2009...



The CanJam 2009 Organizing Committee is excited to announce that the next Head-Fi International Meet is coming to Los Angeles. This year's committee features the midnight-oil-burning team of jp11801 (John), 909 (David), Velogreg (Greg), Edwood (Ed), LFF (Luis), and Iron_Dreamer (Peter). We will be recruiting local victims, errr…volunteers as the event approaches to assist with set-up, logistics, hospitality, and spreading word of the event to other audio communities. If you are a SoCal Head-Fi member with the desire to be a part of the biggest headphone meet of all time, don't worry, we'll need your support! Those outside the L.A. area can help by spreading the word, and making sure that everyone in your corner of the globe knows that this is an event not to be missed!



CanJam 2009 will pick up where the superb efforts of organizing teams in New York, San Jose, and South Florida left off, giving attendees the widest possible variety of headphone listening experiences and entertaining extracurriculars, thanks to generous members and affable vendors. We are designing this event to be the most accessible yet, and expect it to be the most heavily attended Head-Fi event in history. Have no doubts, the bar will rise, as surprises will heighten the National Meet experience, and set an example for the many great host cities surely to follow.



Definite information regarding the specifics of CanJam 2009 will be announced over the course of the next several months. As soon as we can secure the proper accommodations for an event of such awesomeness, an announcement of location, dates, and other pertinent specifics will be forthcoming. Look for it by the end of September.
So what do you need to do now? Start your CanJam fund today, after all, you have a year to get ready! Put down that Mocha Frappamachiactto Soy Latte and stuff that extra $6 a day into your CanJam mattress account (if you don't blow it on MORE headphones!) Start working on your wife/husband/significant other/boss now to get the time off. When your (grand)children look in you the eye and say "Papa, where were you during CanJam 2009?", do you want to tell them that you didn't attend? Don't be like those sad sacks that missed Woodstock, The Beatles at Shea Stadium, Jake and Elwood's benefit concert for the orphanage, CanJam 2008…

CanJam 2009 Los Angeles- be there

With a name like "Can-Jam" there are going to be a lot of disappointed LA'ers.

Definately. The first thought, after headphones, was the LA Erotica Convention, which is happening in 2 weeks. Of course, this is after watching KCAL 9 News talk about the latter, immediately before I saw the title.

It's less "erotic" than the name of the 2007 meet at SJ. That one was called HeadFest.

Nice! Looks like it'll be a 30 min drive for me.

hopefully it's close in time to a good psychedelic music festival
