I am still in and i am in Hardcore thanks for putting me on the list...

I am offering my latest career in the Bar Business free of charge as the official Bar tender of CanJam if you all would like. Now i understand this would be a major responsibility at this event but I can do it! hell if you give me a few weeks advance notice i am sure i could up some nice little Shot mixs just for the meet like "the Strawberry Samuel's" or maybe "the tyll Tanker" or even "the JuneBerry Jude"...well you get the idea. Any Headfiers in the Chicago area can stop in on Tuesday nights to "fine tune" the shots with me to make sure the have the Depth, Dynamics, and sound stage we headphiles require.

Tips from bar tending is going to pay for my trip esp if they keep coming in like they have been..

Billy, thanks for the offer. You certainly can set this up in your room if you want, call it Billy's Place or something. I am not supposed to be serving alcohol unless it's from the hotel.

Love those mile-high, meets, Peter. You and Ed should have a great trip.

Florida folks indulging in subterfuge? Never! You must be thinking of some other nefarious group of Head-Fi'ers - perhaps NYC or NorCal?

Glad you will make it, and I promise not to babble incoherently at you while listening to music ...

LOL, so, uh.... we're going to have a multi room speak easy after party each night? Where else would we have fine cocktails and microbrewed ale into the wee hours?

Within walking distance of the hotel is a Total Wine & More so there will be no shortage of microbrewed ale.

And if that changes, I'm sending up agile_one, NightWoundsTime and jp11801 to drag your *** down here. They are 3 scary individuals, be scared, be very scared.

It's going to be a blast!

It's still a pretty short list... shouldn't more people be on it by now?

It is about where the list was last year and I remember feeling the same as you "why isn't the list longer"?

This year is going to really awesome and will take the meet/party to a new level with events like learn to DIY and a killer live blues band Saturday night.
