That pays for toys. Right now, I want to hardwire my K1000s, am getting my K340s reterminated to a 4-pin to use with an Equinox tail and FirstWatt, want to get some additional mods done to my source, am looking at subwoofers for my Abbys, am trying hard to stay away from the TakeT group buy, and am definitely saving for a new Senn announcement sometime this year....whew.

Alright, I'll definitely make both upcoming meets in florida!

I've never been, but from what I've been reading on this thread (I actually read the whole thread) it should be fun.

PS. Venezuela has some of the best ranked premium rums in the world.

Casique anyone? Hey, try to bring a 4.5 liter Johnnie walker...you know what I'm talking about.

That's a great idea, I live in Orlando so I prolly won't win anything.

I don't know how I missed this thread until now ... Oh yeah, work, rebuilding the fence, catching diseases from your 3 year old ... anyway enough of that. I've been hearing all these big, impressive stories about the Florida party mongers. Well, Back off man I'm a scientist and I need proof. (and don't say well we have the pictures. I know what you can do in photoshop). So I guess I'll just have to make a trip down and see if you guys and gals live up to your rep. See you in May.

Update: OK, the guantlet has been thrown down (i.e. the room is booked), I expect a serious partay [Where's the slightly inebriated but still funny smilie?]

Hey you know some Venezuelan rum! Cacique is one of the best value rums worldwide. (Edit: just checked, despite how inexpensive it is, Cacique is regarded as premium in some rum connoscieur circles.)

I was thinking more along the lines of "Santa Teresa 1796", "Ron Pampero Aniversario", or "Ron Diplomático Selecto."

Welcome to our little group. See you in a month and a half.

You want proof? You can handle the proof!

I can handle anything above 80 proof just fine. Don't want anything living in my beverage in those warm climes

Then you are coming to the right place.

Vicky, I do not know how low you want the subwoofer to go nor how much you want to spend. I can tell you I have an earlier version of: http://www.klipsch.com/products/details/rt-10d.aspx and it is a killer unit.

Of course you could choose the highly regarded Velodyne: http://www.velodyne.com/velodyne/pro...4&sid=288f838r I almost did but got such a great deal on my reference Klipsch that I could not pass it up. Good luck.

Mmm, fine rums.

Maybe we should make this meet even more international by encouraging everybody who is of age and so inclined to bring a bottle of something from their homeland (even if they don't live there). I could bring a nice cognac, a Welsh Single Malt or an Irish Whisky. So many choices for us mutts in the U.S.! Any takers (bringers)?
