Great pix Si -- you captured what's really important: the spirit of this community and its personalities!
The shot of Ray Samuels and his wife is magazine-quality. How can you not love them?
And the two guys from Shure -- I spent time with them and you nailed their inner souls.
You made my night -- I was missing L.A., and you put me right back there.

Thanks, Wavoman. That's exactly what I'm trying to capture. Quiet moments of extacy and exhaustion, people having fun and being themselves, silly off guard shots, half empty rooms, gathering crowds, the waiting sighs of lonely vendors eager for company to talk to, the backs of heads filling up the rows of chairs for what you're trying to listen to, anonymous who-are-theys, and loving and friendly faces. I also spend time with the guys from Shure and Comply, and I couldn't resist those teasing moments.
Music isn't just about the notes and how they interact. It's also about the spaces between the notes.

Positive Feedback Online has some pics up here:
CanJam 2009
I took a lot of pics I'll post soon as well, however, I just got back from the meet and need to recuperate before I'll have enough energy to go through all the pics.
Peace,
Lee

Here you go:
CryoParts CanJam 2009
I'll go through the rest and possibly post more after I get my wife out of the hospital, the Internet connection from here is really slow.
Peace,
Lee

Anyway, I shall repost the rest of my pictures in this thread, so here's Friday, starting with the Scotch-Fi VIP tasting:
It all started with this kind chap...
...some great scotch...
...and our very own CanJam glassware!
Thrice ponders...
...and consumes!
As our host took us on a virtual tour of the scotch business
Neilvg and the VanJam boys arrived before we could suck the place dry!
And even a few vendors got in on the goods
And a few more from Friday Night Setup:
asr eagerly unboxes his new Blue Hawaii
While Justin looks on, almost in awe of his own work 
Voltron's rig was ready to rock
As was blubliss', with the ridiculously superb Omega I's
Tyll's room had the HD800's working early and often

Saturday pictures!
I got up early to set up the booth...
...then watched the heavy hitters like Steve Hoffman...
...and Monster's Noel Lee roll into town
namaanf's table featured his superb DIY work...
...including a very nice purple-heart Beta 22...
...which had a nifty control/display system...
...all controlled by a "monster" laptop system
There were plenty of vintage Stax in attendance
As well as a whole lineup of kickass cans from Shure:
And who could forget Jerry Harvey, the man behind the biggest sensation of the meet!
JP gave a nice opening statement
But it was time for the first ticket of the raffle!
And the winner is....
...Colin (cetoole)!
and again!!
and again!!!
agile_one got in the act as well
Jacob won an interesting prize
Beeelly picks up his certificate for a set of the great new Shure headphones
Sennheiser IEM's were a nice prize
But our friend flew overnight from the U.K. to win...a Duran Duran box set?
Next up, a Beach Boys box set!
And a nice Coldplay album
Only fitting that zippy2001 from EMI would win some nice music!

Sunday meet pictures!
I started my day off with a rousing blast of music from ironbut's R2R system!
And a trip next door to Frank Cooter's electrostatic madness!
While others compared the stock and Modwright Transporters head-to-head
Then I moved on to check out the DAC's, first stop Neko Audio!
Next, I had to see what the hardworking Dan Lavry had cooked up
Finally, a stop at Benchmark to see what was new with Elias
I dropped by Head-Direct's table to listen to their new headphones and DAP
Raffle time!
JP and Aaron announce the first winner
grawk is pleased to win!
vpivinylspinner takes home the Headroom
Mmmmmmm.... headphones!
Hey, edwood is a winner...
...and he likes to flaunt it!
HeadphoneAddict's son hopes for a win...
...and it pays off for his poppa!
Now they're happy!
They stir up the pot for some Shure IEM's...
...and guzziguy has a winna!
The generous ironbut takes home a prize too
And what raffle would be complete without another win for cetoole?

Pics from Sunday dinner @ Father's Office!
JP wasted no time in taking charge of dinner
Burgers for everyone!
The burgers disappeared quickly, tasty!
Then came the cheeeeeese!
JP and nightwoundstime kick it off...
...while Uncle Erik keeps Boomana busy
Matt goes back for more...
as does JP
Pick your poison
The group continued to grow and ruminate...
...as SiBurning fired away
Fun stories kept everyone transfixed
And Joanne pulled no punches this night
Some calmly plotted future activities...
...while others could not sit still
And 909 let off some steam
We continued on into the night...
...but eventually wound up back at the hotel
