I'd be in. I need to redeem myself from my absences these last two times.
A larger venue is always welcome. I didn't realize you were considering moving to a larger venue! I am curious what fee is for the day? Does this fee include setup and cleanup fees? Are there other "hidden" fees hotels sometimes charge? Will they provide power distribution to all tables? I have one hotel in mind (in Scottsdale) at the time was very accommodating for the Arizona meets I had organized.
Considering the attendance we had last meet, and that we were using all the tables and space available at the location, we figured it was time for a move. The cost is $500 for the whole day, and tonight we will inquire about other possible fees. The total costs will be split between several of us (the majority of which will be the money we raised in the raffle last meet).
In any case, this is why we are going to charge about a $5 fee for those who wish to eat the food we will provide on-site. If you want to show up and pick up your own lunch elsewhere, that's fine too! Although I do believe we will place a limitation on bringing outside food into the room, for the sake of cleanliness among other things.
Anything within 30 min. of me (Phoenix area) is fine by me. Will the raffle be enough to fund the meet? Doesn't feel right leveraging any other costs to you guys.
Do any sponsors come with gear/deals? Maybe local audio stores?
Phoenix is a bit of a slog for me, but I live in the middle of friggin' nowhere.
Also, if this is the room with no WiFi, do they have wired net? If they do, someone could bring a wifi router.
@Garage1217 will be there, and HeadAmp was represented as well last meet. Further 'sponsors' for this coming meet are TBA.
As far as local retailers go.. well, the two important ones are always busy on Saturdays (AZ Hifi and A/V choices). Plus, vendors are not allowed to actually sell the merchandise on-site at the library. These things may very well change in the future, however, as we expand our venue. Again, this next meet will be held at the Harmon Library.
Speaking of which.. yes, the library does indeed have WiFi!
