Official NYC Spring 2011 Meet March 19th - Page 14  

I would like to attend this as well.

Thank you and I appreciate your time.

I just checked my schedule and unfortunately due to something silly such as me working that day I will be unable to make it.

Not sure if this has been asked before, but will the JH3A combo be making an appearance at this years NYC meetup? Either a demo unit or god forbid, a delivered order :)

As a rule, are IEM demos something that happens at these events (assuming head-fiers have good hygiene) or is it a bit personal?

Just want to confirm that I'll be there.

From Bayside you can either take a bus or walk to the hotel (for walking, see the map on the previous page). If walking, there's a nice Greek restaurant on the way.

 

FYI for folks in Manhattan or passing through: the 7 Express subway stops at Times Square on 42nd and at GCT.
 

All good except one minor detail, there are no 7 'express' trains on the weekends, only local, so any 7 train heading into Queens will do.

edit: Actually about $43 in tolls from center city Philadelphia.

I'm talking both ways, unless exiting NYC is not as expensive as entering.

As long as the weather is good, I expect to make it.

I'll bring:

MHDT labs Havana, WooAudio GES, Stax O2 mk1, Headamp GS-1.

I am thinking I will setup in the alternate room so that it's quieter.

With any bit of luck, I'll finally get to compare the LCD-2 to my O2.

well bridges around nyc generally have tolls in only one direction, so the math might not be as simple as multiplying by 2. perhaps you could coordinate and share expenses with others traveling from your vicinity. yikes &  jp#s are in pa & ross (baka####) might be too. and there are some folks in so. nj that might be coming too, such as frankl, and there are some folks coming from other parts of jersey too (eg. wavoman, nikongod). poke around and you might find others too.
 

Dave thats a great suggestion. Thanks. I will definitely get in touch with them.

Thanks Asr, looks easy enough  ;)
 

I may be bringing my Grub+SSMH combo, along with whatever headphones I might have by then - probably still the K501, HD580, maybe a DT770/80, maybe a pair of Sextetts. Pretty simple stuff. I might also be bringing a friend with HF2s, a uDac, and an SSMH.

Since I really would like to attend and I am willing to go up please PM me if you want to go. I have a vasn and would be willing to go up with some guys as log as nothing comes up. So PM me South jersey and philly guys. Jimmy how you getting there

It would be a bit tough, especially since I'm going up to my buddy's house in upstate NY this weeked for the Estrogen Escape Extravaganza - A weekend filled with jamming, beer, snowmobiling (if there's snow on the ground), ATVing (if there's no snow) and general slothing around, but the possibility exists.

Yes, that is correct.  The Verrazano only has a toll  entering Brooklyn but not entering Staten Island.  Same thing with the GW.  No toll going to New Jersey.
