It's getting to be that time of year again so thought I'd go ahead and start getting an interest check and an idea for a date range.

EDIT 1: For those who're interested, please post what and all you'll be able to bring and where you're coming from if/when we can get us a date for the event. If my grid fills up, DON'T WORRY I'll simply just make another one.

EDIT 2: So far, since it's FEB. already I'm thinking the earliest we should have this meet should be late April and possibly into May. That should give people plenty of time to arrange their schedules accordingly.

EDIT 3: Needing votes for the day of the meet. So far a Sat. looks to work best (for at least 2 of us anyways) and the sooner I can get a date to get a reservation for the community room the better. So the date I've planned is 16MAY PENDING a reservation. I have to wait until I get paid next week to put the money down for the room. Previously our meets have been apr. 4-5 hours. Is that still enough time for everyone or should it be longer?

EDIT 4: I have submitted my application for reservation of the Community Room at Fire Station #9. This is where I've tried to previously make a reservation for for it's the largest, and IMO the nicest, of the 3 Community Rooms offered. If I get the reservation I'll post pictures of the interior.

EDIT 5: The date and time has been reserved! HOWEVER it had to be for 30MAY (still 10-1400) due to 16MAY being taken up before me.

EDIT 6: The City of Concord Parks & Recs. Department called me and to inform that they're remaining closed throughout the Month of May. So, unfortunately, that means as in this format of CanFest 8.

Rules:
1. Don't be a jerk. We're all here to have fun, enjoy each others company and, of course, listen to some amazing stuff. Be polite and respectful.
2. Selling your gear is acceptable by means of having a small card, sticker or other similar posting of what's for sale and it's asking price.
3. When listening to/demoing a piece of gear that isn't your, get permission by the owner first. You break it, you buy it.
4. PENDING APPROVAL of application: Station Tours are not only allowed but encouraged! Just please let me know you're interested and I'll ask on scene personnel if it's alright (more than likely they'll be more than fine with it).

That'd be awesome, we'd certainly love to have any and all of you. Do you've an idea what you would be able to bring by chance if/when we get this event going?

Personally, I've got JDS EL DAC/AMP, Schitt Magni 3, Modi 2, Asus Xonar Essence One, plus the headphones I've got listed in my sig. I know one of my friends who is interested has a Audioquest Dragonfly. Not sure what other gear is in question. I may have some more to bring depending on CanJam NYC next weekend.

I'm interested as well, though I (still) don't have that much to bring. (Elex, Monoprice m1060, dt-770) - I may just bring the Elex in case someone is interested in comparisons and come to hang out. If someone expresses interest in hearing lower end gear for comparisons, I can bring it.

What you can bring, regardless of amount/value etc... is ALWAYS very much appreciated. I'm excited to listen to your Elex and the M1060 again.

 

[ebiester]

I forgot to put the other important stuff - basically any weekend before the end of the semester works for me, and I'm coming from Wilmington. I'll bring the above.

Was wondering when we'd here from you. Where's your other half? Figured he'd be early on in this too.

 

[16hz lover]

count me in for any date in May, for now still have my 27 year old Beyer DT 990 Pro

31 posts in 15 years????

16th works best for me with the 30th as a backup.

 

[Makiah S]

The 16th would be nice as it's right in between two other me to the beginning and ending of the month

Once we get confirmation I'll see if I can't get the time off approved as I should be able to bring some really cool top of the line stuff!

 

[ebiester]

What are the other two nearby, @Mshenay ? I'm probably as close to those as I am to Charlotte and if I can make a second one, it'd be great.

Atlanta May 3rd and Smithville Tennessee May 30th
