I would imagine any vendor with a direct market presence will at least be equipped to take an order that they would then, after the show, send you an invoice to complete the transaction.

And there will for sure be people selling vinyl

There usually are a lot of vendors selling vinyl but you'll have to be the judge if you think it is a good deal.

The venue sounds like a fun place. Do you have to actually climb up a mountain to get to the show?

 

[Maxvla]

I'll be climbing it in a plane. Not the outdoorsy type.

Thanks guys.  Just as a follow-up, is PayPal a pretty standard method for paying?  I've never purchased anything as a "Fest" before. 
 
That brings me to another point, that perhaps someone already on-site can answer - is WiFi available in the Rocky Mountain Room?  It would be nice to look things up and do PayPal transactions right there on-the-spot.

I highly doubt that if you want to buy anything on the show floor, that Paypal would work.  I'm guessing that anything that you might buy and actually take with you would require cash. 
 
Last year at CanJam Music Direct was selling records - I can't recall if they had a credit card process there or whether that was also all cash.
 
The hotel has wi-fi, but most likely it will cost you.

I can't imagine too many dealers (esp. since the majority of the show is non-head phone gear) would
 
A) turn down a sale from a customer that wanted to give them money on-the-spot
B) want to sit a briefcase of 1000 20-dollar bills next to their coat on the showroom floor 
 
Since I've never been to something like this, perhaps I have the wrong idea (as a consumer instead of a vendor).  I do plan on buying some gear, so I'll be a little surprised if people turn down electronic payment, but I could be wrong.

PayPal is standard on most of the vendors' Web sites, if that's what you mean. I'd think most vendors would probably accept PayPal for direct transactions too.
 
The hotel does have wi-fi, can't remember if it was free or not though. Bring a smartphone (or borrow someone else's) if it's not free.

I just watched Jude's videocast - looks really cool.
 
Question: what time was the panel and do you know where it is being held (and how long it's expected to last)?  I'd like to see it.
 
 
Thanks!

Leaving early AM tomorrow, see you guys there. 
What time is the party?

 

[Skylab]

The Official Head-Fi Party is Saturday, Todd. But look for me at the Marriott bar Friday after the show. I plan to be here from show close until eye close Will be nice to see you again.

Shouldn't someone be warming up an impressions thread?

 

[Maxvla]

You coming Al?

No, stuck in Dallas for the Arlington Guitar Show... but, I am watching with keen interest.
