Glad you can make it Jude. It will be nice to see you again. Save room for a burger and beer after.

 
If Jude's showing up he's gonna have to buy milkshakes again.
 

There's always room for one more!

 
All are welcome.  No fears on room, I will bring extra tables, power, etc.

I'm planning on attending with a friend if his schedule cooperates.  Just starting in the hobby so not so much to contribute other than strong interest, a Cypher Labs Theorem 720 portable amp/DAC, and a pair of B&O H6s.
 
Longtime active member and participant in the Chicago area espresso scene on www.homebarista.com.  I've helped organize several area events like this for crazy coffee equipment nerds like myself, looking forward to meeting new people with a whole new set of passions and obsessions...
 
Huge fan of the beer selection at Palmer's Place too!

Ok, now were finally getting some respectable attendance numbers for our area!!  Hope we outgrow our space!!!!  "but not on saturday"
 
BTW - Its looking like we will have handful of nice things to raffle off because of some generous members.  I'm sure Jude has an extra Dharma laying around he will be happy to donate as well!!  (giggle) I'm kidding, seriously, dont freak out people.  
 
anyway, if you might have anything you would like to raffle off for the cause, please bring it along and just let me know.  Raffle tickets are $5 each, or 5 for $20.

Things are really starting to shape up!

Is Palmer house the place we went to and got burgers and beer the last time we were in Western Springs?

Hello, I'm new to Head-fi and meets in general.
 
Is there a certain date/time we need to reply by? 
I'm currently in Michigan and am not quite sure at this time if I can make it back but would like to go.

I've heard both the DAVE and Liquid Gold separately, and I imagine that's going to be one hell of a pairing. Can't wait to try the two together.
