Of course, if we do that, then we have to call Nightfall, and convince him to lug his Moth Audio über-2A3 to wherever we meet. And then we'd also then have to.... Sounds like a mini-meet for us cats, man.

Haha... I'll try to get them up today or tomorrow. Things have been busy at work. Oh, and I just bought a Benchmark DAC1 to tide me over until I can get that Meridian G08 / Blockhead combination that I have fallen so hard for....

This meet was a financial disaster for me....

All possible impressions of the meet have already been covered so I would just like to thank:
Ray Samuels and his entire family for extending unrivaled hospitality. Mrs. Samuels, you are a wonderful cook and make incredible hummus. Those who live under the same roof as you are very lucky.
John (JCB) for doing so much behind-the-scenes dirty work that I felt embarrassed to be there. You don't talk very much, but something about you commands instant respect and admiration, I hope to see you again.
Fred for many things... but mostly your humor. Standing in Ray's kitchen listening to you joke around was one of the meet highlights. I didn't get to talk to you very much at all and hope to during future meets. Thank you very much again for your fire prevention advice.
The one who went to Happy Foods and replenished our soft drink supply for rescuing us all just in time.

Matt and Jason from Shure for being such a generous bunch, you guys are the reason why Shure enjoys such a friendly public face.
Kevin Gilmore, Jefemeister, and supporting vendors, both present and non-present for taking the time to bring and donate gear.

Attending Head-Fi'ers for being so amiable. There were quite a bit of us there and I felt a tad intimidated in the beginning, but never entirely uncomfortable. Fred is right -- if you ever find yourself holding grudges against any members, you need to get out to one of these meets. For example, Tyrion in the online world always scared me because of his previous avatar, but in person, he had to be one of the friendliest guys I've ever met. Philodox always seemed like a nice guy, but in person he was ridiculously nice. I probably spent 10% of my time eating, 70% talking, and only 20% listening.

And last, but certainly not least:
Phil and Jason for driving me to and back -- you two are the best =)
