It's more important that we've found each other again.

 

[Zbell]

This is awesome, I'll definitely be there. How do these things work? Should I bring all my gear in a backpack (just in case?) I'd love to hear some Focal cans.

 

[HeadAmpTeam]

We will be there with a ton of great gear to keep everyone listening! Glad to see some familiar faces will be there!

[ribosradagast]

I'll be there, though I regret to say that I don't see Focal anywhere on the vendor list

True, but I bet the odds are good that some vendors (of amps, DAC's, etc.) will have Focals there. And likely that members of this DC Head-Fi group will have some too.
