A few updates based on some questions I've received.
There will be no wifi at the venue. Please bring transports, physical media, hotspots or local files.
If you have them, bring extension cords and power strips.
10am - Doors open. I'm going to get there early if possible to start setting up. I may not be able to get in before 10.
12pm - Lunch Please keep food and drinks away from the gear and wash your hands prior to handling gear
1pm - Zoom - Q&A with Schiit co-founder Jason Stoddard
2pm - Raffle
There will be assorted beverages with lunch but I would suggest bring water and other Non-Alcoholic drinks with you. I'll try to pick up a case of assorted drinks.
If you plan on trying IEMs, please bring an assortment of tips. If you know there is a pair you want to try, try PMing the owner and figuring out what tips fit if you are not sure.
Please remember proper meet etiquette. Don't unplug or mess with gear. Not all gear has protection circuits built into it. People bring some strange (awesome) stuff to meets.
Let me know if I'm forgetting something.

Another update!
Schiit is sending a Lyr+for me to raffle off!!!
Huge Update!
ZMF is sending us a Caldera, Atrium Closed and the yet-to-be released Bokeh! A huge thanks to @BooUrns and @zach915m for making this happen. They will also be providing some ZMF swag to raffle off.
I'm going to be ordering the food for the meet soon. We are ordering assorted sandwiches, chips and cookies from Panera. Please let me know if you have any dietary restrictions or allergies.
Also, we are swapping out the Kara for a Vali+/Modi MB 2 stack. We don't plan on doing any 2-channel stuff so that makes more sense.
