Consider checking with the Company directly.
If no one brings any TP (Thunderpants) products, or other desired products from other companies not attending, perhaps someone can contact that company to see if they might loan them a few items to bring to the Show. That way, while they may not be able to have a physical presence they can still be able to reach out to the audio community and their customer base. I'm already working on this with a few other companies letting them know their goodies will be returned after the Show.
 
I have just been in contact with Schiit directly and they are unfortunately unable to make the Show for some valid reasons. I have asked if they would send a few items for those interested to check out and am awaiting a response. More later.

Hey Danny I have a Lyr and a bunch of tubes so if schiit can't have their gear present, at least everyone can have the opportunity to check it out.

I'm curious how many vendors have pledged to exhibit so far, even if you're not ready to name names yet.

Nice looking good thanks Danny and everyone who has helped

FREE Parking and NO Admission Fee: I forgot to mention this very important point. It is now also posted on the lead post.

 

[Vikingatheart]

I'm very excited! This is going to be my first meet! 

 

 

[Stevtt]

Danny, does that rule that requires all first time attendees to stop by Drews table and buy cables for everyone still apply?

 

[Stevtt]

Hmm, now that I think about it, I think they were actually required to buy BMW 535's.

 

[unl3a5h3d]

Great! I'm glad Mr. Grado is going to be there again this year. He had a nice setup last year, I didn't even know what half of it was.

Some brief responses below.
 
"Danny, does that rule that requires all first time attendees to stop by Drew's table and buy cables for everyone still apply?"
 
Don't be ridiculous!!! First time attendees, other than Hooter ladies, are only required to "donate" large sums of cash or very rare tubes. I will be sure all donations get delivered to the "right" place.
 
 
 
"Great! I'm glad Mr. Grado is going to be there again this year. He had a nice setup last year, I didn't even know what half of it was."
 
Regarding Joe's stuff last year he had a Nagra digital recorder along with his new microphones and several of his own recordings to demo the mics.
I don't know what he will bring this year. Rumor has it he is giving away NOS HP1000 headphones with a limit of 500. Just a rumor though at this time. I'll try to confirm it later.

I am in, will be attending at least one of these. Not sure what to prepare though

 

[Stevtt]

You just need to bring yourself unless you have some equipment you want to share.

 

[iamtwon]

I'd would LOVE to come to this, can I just show up for real?

 

[DannyB]

Absolutely, and bring some friends and/or family. Are you in North Carolina?
