I thought you never leave NY, sup Alex?

True that, I can only tolerate East Coast and already counting days before NYC CanJam. Was just surprised AXPONA pulled the plug 2 months ahead of time. Let's keep our fingers crossed for SoCal, I know quite a few manufacturers were looking forward to showcase new goodies.

Nothing is closed down, since the mask mandate went away, most places just followed the state guidelines. Plenty of people, mainly the majority are wearing masks, at least that's what I see. So people coming should be just fine, unless the recall doesn't happen and Newsome decides to enact something again, I don't trust him as far as I can throw him.

Bummer.

Agreed, but I prefer that over canceling CanJam... So it is the lesser evil in this case!

Agree, CanJam is still a go. Probably should have name tags since we won't recognize each other, except we all recognize @Watagump since he'll probably be walking around asking "Would you like some candy?"

Hmm, just saw the announcement that AXPONA show in October got canceled...

Just saw that in my email. Bummer indeed. Time to rebook the hotel again.

Perhaps Illinois where the show is located is having trouble containing covid. I plan to be at canjam since I volunteered to help out on Sunday, but I’m keeping a very close eye on the situation.

Not the first time I am writing:
My mom has always warned me about men like @Watagump

Must have been about my awesomeness.

This will be my first CanJam and my first real foray into the world of HiFi… I’m pretty excited!! Out of curiosity: do vendors typically sell special editions at CanJam?

I'm the same as you. New to the CanJam!

Ethan and the crew do a great job, the shows really are fun, you get to meet many cool people.

I dunno, I kinda like the idea of being "AxelIncognito." It will help me hide from the likes of Watagump.

Sonarworks added to exhibitor list!

At one of my first CanJams, I sat down to audition some gear, and inevitably struck up a conversation with the dude sitting next to me. We had a lot in common, and seemed to get along well. It wasn't until quite some time later that we mentioned our Head-Fi usernames, and thus realized we'd been chatting online for years.

Bummer.

I agree and this might be a no go for me still haven’t decided yet but walking around for 2 days with a mask on doesn’t sound like a good time to me.

But you'll see me!
Well, maybe not a compelling reason...

But you'll get to hang out with us, and all the great gear that begs to be auditioned, and no masks during lunch/dinner/drinks so we can socialize after the show.
Obviously, do whatever works for you my friend, but I hope a piece of fabric not gonna prevent you from coming...

I've kind of got used to wearing a mask while shopping, but my wife still hates it. For me, the joys of CanJam outweigh the discomfort of wearing a mask, but YMMV, of course.

Exactly!!! 100% agreed.
