We need to set up a Pico-powered-only table, since it seems that enough of us there will be sporting them!

Looking forward to hearing a Pico... I'm about to replace my entire portable rig, and this is firmly in my sights, along with the SR71A.

Frank, if there isn't enough space don't worry we will just kick someone else out.
Just kidding, there is plenty of room.

See Frank. I told you that there was just a little desire to hear both your amps and that there would be space.
I'll also bring at least one backup source so don't worry about sources. As long as you bring yours we'll have enough for both of your amps.

Another newbie, going to try to make my first gathering (wife allowing).
What equipment will I bring? Well, right now my rig is an old iPod and JVC Marshmallows. I know, I know, there will be a long line to hear that setup.
But, I do have a couple of things due to be shipped this week which I hope to bring.
Sennheiser HD-650
X-Head headphone amp from av123

Calling all DIY people.
Is there enough interest for this? I don't feel like lugging all my equipment down if there isn't enough serious interest.

Yes, there is defiantly interest in DIY. I would love some help assembling a pair of IC's.

I'll see if I can make the trip. I have a Bel Canto Dac3 and a Benchmark Dac1, but no transport equipment (not taking my silent PC with me). If someone has some extra transports or extra transport hookups, I can take them along. Regardless of whether I take the dacs, I'll be bringing some mid-range Stax stuff.

I'm in. I don't have much to bring to the table though.
Milo
Fischer 400 (with missmatched tubes  )
Outlaw 990 (possibly, not sure if it's worth disconnecting it from all the gear)
Toshiba 3950 (bypass output tube mod with orange drops and Solen SMs)
Sound Devices 722 (only if the boss will let me)
