Seattle Head-fi Meet at Front Panel Express October 2, 2010 - Page 12

LOL...you know, I could totally go along with the liquid diet idea, except chances are good (if past meets are a good example) I won't get much of a lunch that day.  With my build, if I start drinking on an empty tummy I would only be asking for tragedy.

there is also a Via Tribunali behind the building 9 lbs hammer is in.  really really good pizza there, napolitani style. 

and there is a bar that serves lots of vegan options close by too - Georgetown Liquor Company.  actually, their sandwiches are really damn good, even for meat-eaters. 

Dang, I had no idea this was going on.....glad I found the thread. WIll save the date.

I used to work right around the corner. Spent a hell of a lotta time at the 9lb. Hammer before I left Seattle for Portland and quit drinking! This'll be a trip down memory lane.

Question for the area Head-Fiers: are there any particularly good places to eat in either downtown Seattle or Bellevue? I eat pretty much anything, well except for Japanese. Cheap places preferred (<$15 lunch, <$20 dinner). (I'm going to have a rental car so I'll be able to go just about anywhere in the metro area, though I expect to be staying at a hotel near the Space Needle and walking or a short bus distance from there would be preferred.)

Thanks but I got someone else to take care of a box for me, if I send one out. As for rain, I'll deal with whatever happens.

There are a large number of good restaurants throughout Seattle, and many are affordable.  Believe it or not, Yelp is a useful resource.  Narrow down what you would like, and I am sure we can give you a list of choices.  If you are downtown and like Chinese or Vietnamese, you will have a large number of affordable choices in the International District.

Good lord.  So sorry to hear that, smeggy.  Unbelieveable.  Hope to cheer you up at the meet. 

Hey, I'm really new to all this and might come.  I'd really like to try out a Woo Audio 6 and Burson HA-160.  I can bring my K702's, DT990 Premium's, Maverick TubeMagic D1, RSA P-51 Mustang, and Pico amp/DAC.  Any other gear I should bring?  Do I need to put GPS locators on all my gear?  =)

Awesome...will be great to see new folks!  I usually bring one of my portables, just in case anyone is researching that market, but in general it's the desktop rig that gets the most attention.  Still, I'd bring whatever you feel like you want to share.  Definitely bring any sources you have, since that  usually seems to be the biggest constraint amongst our toys.

As far as keeping your gear under wraps, it's been pretty casual and trusting the last two meets.  The group, in general, is respectful of people's equipment.  Doesn't hurt to stay close to your rig so you can keep an eye on it, but you also can answer questions that way too.  It's also not unheard of for people to ask to borrow cans to check out how they sound on other rigs.
