UPDATED: Date set and location chosen. I believe Voltron will start another official Bay Area Meet thread (or merge this one) listing everyone who can attend and what equipment they are bringing.


Date: Saturday 14th October

Host and location:

Cost wise though, its FREE (Technically, I have to provide a $75 deposit - but you're all house trained, right?) There is guest parking, on the level, within 20 paces of the room. Local supermarkets are close by for supplies. Local eats - from inexpensive to high end.

The Ideal Timeline would be something like this... This Week Polling continues ... Word Spreads ... Interest Grows ... Next Week Polling closes ... Date Chosen ... Room Booked + Confirmed Volunteers step forward to manage lists ... New thread opened with title "Bay Area Meet, CONFIRMED - Marin <Date>", or similar. Attendee List and Equipment list managed as edited posts in new thread Sept 19-29 I'm likely to be incommunicado, so talk amongst yourselves... October I return to find an impressive list of members, equipment, and no doubt questions. I'd hope to answer any questions quickly - or just ask now if you have them. With a rough head count we should know if we need to be looking at table / chair rental. If any one has a truck that might help with moving things, if required 1 Week before - Things are pretty much organized - I PM directions etc, still gives time for last minute stuff, after all

Monday I should get details on what "all day", and "returned to original condition" mean in terms of time + impact on us (Set up - + clearing the room etc.) Someone else has the room booked for "all day" Sunday - so I may be able to speak to them, if its possible to do a handover on the sunday. Well volunteered Voltron!, consider this a rehersal for the 2007 international meet Gentlemen, Start you engines!

I can't do the first weekend in October. It's my first wedding anniversary. I think any of the other weekends should work.

We can't really reserve rooms on campus as we are not an official "club". However, most ofthe rooms are generally open, so we can use a room until someone kicks us out. This isn't that great of an option, but depending on how many people we'll have, I don't know if anyone's apartment will actually be large enough...

 

[kontai69]

I would be very interested in attending such a meet, especially if it were held somewhere in the East Bay. I'm from Vacaville and it would be more convenient for me.

I can bring my MS-Pro's to add to the mix. It will be great to be able to try out all the top-end Grados in one place.

 

[humanflyz]

I'm free on most weekends unless I have a paper to write or something, but otherwise I can attend a meet. I will bring my K1000 setup.

 

[Iron_Dreamer]

If it's anywhere near as much fun as the last meet (Feb. in Saratoga) count me in! It's a lot shorter drive than LA for me (3-3.5 hours vs. 4-5) to boot.

Early congradulations on the 1 year anniversary iamdone!

I'm willing to give my signature for an official club.

Anyway, I'm flexible timewise as long as there's enough notice.

[tyrion]

I have to be in Santa Rosa (I think that's the name, near Napa) for business in October. If the dates work out I might be able to make it, if you have room.

 

[tyloh73]

count me in,will bring my wavelength brick/flying mole/nude and equinoxed k1000.

 

[Voltron]

I have been meaning to strike up a discussion for a meet for October, so most likely count me in. We should figure out when Tyrion is going to be around and pick a different weekend, er, I mean, try to schedule when he is here!

I suggest we try to get Gundam91's cousin's bubble tea place in San Mateo unless a spontaneous campus Head-Fi group sprouts at UC Berkeley in time to reserve a room there. I've got lots of stuff to bring, although my newly arrived but not even set up TT won't be among the traveling gear.

While I would love to attend, the date of my deposition may be changing. If it does, it will likely be after October so do it when it's convenient for those who will definitely be attending. Al, thanks for the consideration. I will keep an eye on the thread and if the date doesn't change, I will let you know.

Get that tt set up already.

 

[Voltron]

We will have a mini-meet when you are here no matter when, so we can set that up when you are firmly scheduled. Also, the TT just came in last night and although Todd had the cartridge mounted and the arm mostly ready to go, I didn't have enough time to figure out how to make the table with the upgrade motor/flywheel fit my rack! It's always something, but certainly a "new toy" thread will be forthcoming.
