LOL, we need to get him in a car in SoCal in the summer.

Hey philodox, I can teach you all about sun protection  For medical reasons I have to avoid daylight on my skin, and keep the light level entering my eyes rather low (hence the sunglasses indoors - and another layer of really really dark sunglasses over the top of those outdoors). With the right preparation you can handle the radiation - but you may need to go into training to handle the heat in enclosed environments like cars. Acclimation via sauna?

I don't think he could handle a sauna. That must be a real challenge in the heat of summer in Sydney.

Good thing we didn't hold the meet next month or...gasp...in August.

Admit it, you were just trying to look uber cool in kick ass headphones. Even though it was great meeting you, we're on to that whole medical ruse!

Damn, they're not buying the medical ruse thing!
Well, at least they get the extremely cool thing (gratuitous Chuck E. Weiss reference), as evidenced by the three layers of clothing shown in the photo. The white one is thermal underwear (which I also had on under my trousers) - and my hands and feet were still feeling cold. Gives new meaning to chilling out...
And you get some serious double-takes when you put the gloves on, the hood up, layer on the extra sunglasses - and head outdoors in the middle of a warm day!

I have to give you credit mazz. You don't look a total goober in those. I certainly do when I wear them.

I hope it ends up in DC as I travel there fairly regularly anyway (fiancee's from Laurel, so we visit often). I can see that, Chicago, or somewhere in Texas being a good choice.

I don't care where it is as long as Head-Fiers buy plane tickets and support the event. Without that, then the exhibitors have no reason to show up.

Exactly! I'll try and show up, provided it isn't overseas... that really isn't realistic for me  Somewhere in the midwest would be good though

Yup, agree. And it should be near a major airport to make it easy to (1) get a direct flight and (2) get around without a ride.

Absolutely! It matters not where the event will be held. The important thing is that Head-Fi'ers attend, and have a super time as was done at the 3 previous (Inter)National Meets. I don't care where the 2009 (Inter)National meet is held, I just know I will be there.
Another point occurs to me, and I mention as a bit of a history lesson. Much of this discussion has been from the point of view that there is some kind of committee, or "top down" approach to making the decision of where, when, or even if to hold such a meet. In truth, each of the very successful previous ones (NY National 2006, HeadFest 2007 in SJ, and CanJam '08 in FtL) were "bottom up" or grassroots efforts. In each case there were local Head-Fi'ers who stepped up, and said, "we'll do it". Beginning with immtbiker, the Godfather of (Inter)National Meets, in NYC, then Voltron for SJ, and tyrion in FtL. Each of them had strong a local core of committed members who stepped in to help, and each area had a history of conducting well attended and supported meets on a semi-regular basis. I am not saying these things are a requirement, just that it has worked that way so far, and that these meets are far more organic, and begin from a spontaneous core of local energy.
So, where is the next place to step up? Where is the next leader with strong fellow Head-Fi'ers standing with him/her to get the ball rolling for 2009? I can't wait to see.

Just tell us that what you have isn't contagious. I've had a unusual "hankerin" to put on a pair of longjohns and put on some serious woodies lately.
