We'll call the trip "Fear and Loathing In Head-Fi"

this may be the best image of the journey to Jam Jam we have heard yet

x2, jp. I've been to WI to visit my bro, so have no doubt that these boys can bring it. Will it be enough to go toe to toe with the big boys from FL and NY? Not to mention the Montana madman or Shure party hearties.

The lads do get massive style points, so are already winners in my book. One thing, though, I thought Jägermeister was the syrup of choice in the north woods. Sounds like MoreCowbell and sidekick have graduated.

what time does it start? I am thinking maybe I can only make it on Sat. so i will probably fly red eye on Fri.

I have thought about it but I am thinking 10am. That's what I call dedication.

You can always fly down for the October meet.

The amp does sound to be a nice unit, its on my to-try list for Canjam!

I hope to have it! I have not been able to locate cettoole.

Assuming I am indeed able to come, I'm planning on bringing my Millett Max MOSFET Edition.

[tyrion]

I've updated the first post with the table layout. I will start a thread for members to pick table location.

I can bring a Dac1-usb if you millet guys wanna have a millet shoot out in one of our rooms later? I am bringing my laptop with itunes and external hardrive anyway so..

[MASantos]

I guess I could try to smugle some portuguese red wine or port wine through US customs when I move back to FL. Seriously I heard there was a Portuguese specialty store in Orlando where I could buy some fine Portuguese spirits. I will have some gear with me, but I won't probably assign myself for a table. HOwever, I gladly volunteer to help at the meet. I am a certified chef, baker and bartender! !

About my attendance,
Everything is pointing to me moving to Florida in January and more certain everyday! I will be living in Orlando so I will probably only book a room for saturday night.

Tyrion, will we have some of that head-fi IPA this time?

Now that I finished my DAC301, which I'll post a write-up of later, I'm probably gonna carry-on that too. Unless I happen to have $1000 fall into my lap to build a Balanced B22, I'm bringin my DAC301 and Millett Max and HD580s.

EDIT: Also probably bringin my Macbook Pro for source.

I hope you can make it and stay healthy while you are at the meet this time. I think I've brewed my last batch of beer but I will have some worthy substitutes. There is a store about a 5 minute walk from the hotel that has pretty close to the best beer, wine, liquor selection in South Florida so good beer will not be a problem.
