  Looking forward to it!
 
Bringing my Beyerdynamic 'phones and Schiit Audio amp.

 
Sweet, man!! Which Beyers and Schiit do you have?
 

  It's cool.  This meet will only get bigger from here.
 
We're going to grow this thing, and I'm designing a graphic for the next one.
 
My photoshop skills are semi-respectable.  

 

 
Man, if we're not careful, this might turn into a respectable event!!

Very cool man, interested to see what you come up with!!

I'm impressed with the photoshop, the HD800 and the Batman building, good synergy.
 
I didn't realize at 1st that the meet was BRILLANTLY positioned on a UT open date.  Even if your not a FB fan, events just don't work as well here when the Vols play.  More UT fans in Nashville than Vandy fans, I think Vandy has resorted to paying people to attend games.

Do we have an attendance estimate?

Dear All,
 
I am also sorry about joining this thread so late.  Unfortunately, it looks like I won't be able to join the meet that is taking place right in my back yard.  For some reason, my company decided to enroll me in their SSBB program (at age 57!), and along with the international travel it's consumed my year.  Hopefully, I will be able to join next year.
 
I read through this thread today and learned a lot.  Both about you and about your equipment and preferences.  That's what Head-Fi is all about.
 
Nice job, Theo, for organizing the meet.  Also, nice job to ALL for jumping on the bus.  It will be a great meet, no doubt about it.  I think the Nashville meet will become a Head-Fi fixture and become more relevant as time goes by.
 
When I read the thread, I realized that I don't have much to offer but more to learn from you.
My current inventory is: LCD-X, Ed-8, SE535, Uberfrost, Asgard2, Dragonfly.  All my music is compressed in iTunes.
 
I will miss a lot about the Nashville meet:
  1) Meeting you all
  2) Trying to get inside Theo's head
  3) Hearing my first Grado:  Jay's new GS1000e
  4) Hearing the HD800 with a decent amp like ALO MKIIIB+
  5) High definition music vs. compressed - especially Rumay's Rock - WOW
  6) How the LCD-X sounds with a better amp than the Asgard2
  7) And the best - watching new people first experience great cans like HD800, HE-6 and LCD-X 

 
I hope you have a great meet in Franklin.
 
All the Best,
RCBinTN

too bad RBC, we all had a blast at the first one
sure hope you can catch the next one !

 

[Wildcatsare1]

RBC, sorry I am not going too be able to meet you! One concern though, the last Guy that got inside of Theo's Head hasn't been seen since!

 

[Wildcatsare1]

^Rumny, I believe our fearless Organizer may have had something too do with the Meet being schduled on an open date for UT !

 

[Wildcatsare1]

Oregon stomping Michigan State, VT heading towards a victory at Ohio State, all is right in the World, the Big 10 will always suck, the SEC, PAC-12, ACC RULE!!!

 

[RUMAY408]

RCB I'm sorry that you have to work instead of play 

, maybe next meet. 
 
Wildcatsare1 MSU was beaten up by Oregon, VT over OSU would be sweet.

Rumny, it's looking good, first year of the College Playoffs and without serious politics and subterfuge the Big 10 is completely out of the picture 2 weeks into the season!!! So sweet, now if Notre Dame would just slip into oblivion it will be a spectacular season!

 

[RUMAY408]

Since I'll show up later on Fri night, it might be crowded and loud 
so it might be the right time for this.

 

[Wildcatsare1]

LMAO, too funny, looks like an Abyss! So what are our Colors?

 

[RUMAY408]

The sign was sort of a joke, but some of the NYC guys went nuts about it, "you flash that in Brooklyn and you could die," I think I'll be OK in Pucketts.

 

[Wildcatsare1]

Yes, the Buckturds bite the dust!!!!VT wins big!!!! Beautiful!!!!

Bet Urban wishes he didn't wimp out on the Gators now!!!

Yeah, the scheduling was most definitely intentional. In fact, I worked today specifically because I now have to work at least one Saturday each month (BOOOOOOOOO), I'd scheduled the meet for our off week, and Arkansas State appeared to be the least important game of the month. Of course, due to the joint miracles of Watch ESPN, Xfinity TV Go, and Slingbox, I sure as hell didn't miss the game. You can force me to be at work, but you are gonna have trouble keeping me away from the game one way or another. (Ironically, today ended up being one of our best productivity days at work... I credit the Vols defense. Somehow.)
 

Do we have an attendance estimate?

 
I'm guessing 20-30, although we have less than 20 people actually committed to coming thus far. When it actually happens, though, who knows? I doubt we'll end up with 50 or 75 people or anything like that, which is good-- as that would probably be much more difficult to manage. We'll just see, I guess!

Oh man, hate that you won't be able to make it!! Sounds like that gives us a great excuse to set up another one in the future though . Btw, as a closed-headphone aficionado, I'm curious to hear what you think about the Edition 8-- you dig it? I still toy with the idea of snatching up a set of Sig Pros at some point...
 
If you're ever down Cookeville way and wanna shoot the breeze, let me know!! We don't have much, but we have at least one legitimately good pub/bar that's worth your time!

 

RBC, sorry I am not going too be able to meet you! One concern though, the last Guy that got inside of Theo's Head hasn't been seen since!

 
Nah, only real danger is getting lost... Big, cavernous, mostly empty space. Just mind the boxes of random football and literary knowledge piled around haphazardly and you'll be just fine .
 

  RCB I'm sorry that you have to work instead of play

Anyone over OSU is sweet. Btw, as utterly 'sour grapes' as this is, I was delighted to see that Vonn Bell didn't get the start to open the season, and to see he's been a bit of a diva about it. Wonder if he regrets backstabbing the program he'd basically silent committed to now... Kinda hope so

.

Michigan State didn't look bad, and depending on how everything shakes out, they or Wisconsin (or, god forbid, OSU) could still conceivably make it. Three teams I just loathe, personally: Florida, Southern Cal, and Ohio State. Notre Dame is close, but not quite top-run for my disdain. Anytime these programs lose, it's just sweet, sweet music to my ears. Now that Notre Dame stomped an unranked and obviously middling-at-best Michigan team, you can cue the predictable (and utterly baseless) litany of Irish apologists making their cases for why the Fightin' Academic Scammers should be in the four-team bracket this year. Sigh.
 

  Since I'll show up later on Fri night, it might be crowded and loud 
so it might be the right time for this.

 
That'll play nicely with my bandana and single rolled-up pantleg!! GENIUS!!!!
