Hi. I’m a two channel guy with a little interest in headphones. I also happen to have access to a space that will probably work for this and it would be neat to host. As long as you let me try your rigs! Glen Echo town hall event space. They have tables chairs bathrooms electrical outlets etc. Occupancy is probably 100? The good thing is that it’s basically free (I’ll pay the nominal fee and sponsor it). The bad is that you’re driving or it’s a bus ride from Friendship Heights Metro. If you want it, let me know a date and I’ll reserve it for you. I will need individuals to commit to cleanup and put away tables and chairs!

This is what I get for not reading all responses first -- of course I missed your offer before appealing for help :>

Thanks for offering to sponsor Glen Echo town hall on our behalf! I'll PM you shortly to discuss. Cheers,

Wow... it sounds like a great space. I see that it is still available for the 30th of April. How much money do you need for a deposit? Can anyone rent it or must you be a resident of the Town of Glen Echo? I will commit to cleanup and takedown. Who else will help?

People who are bringing gear are likely to be driving. The location will work for many folks in Maryland and in Virginia.

I can help set up and breakdown.

Residents only. I’m a resident so I can rent it. I’ll handle the money. It’s practically free for me. All I need is a commitment for cleanup which should be just making sure tables and chairs are folded back up and put in their racks, any trash is thrown out, and the floor swept if needed. It should be easy. I’ll handle getting a key, opening up and locking at the end.

Barnes and Noble let you borrow their space no?

Save the date for a meetup: Saturday, April 30th, 10:00am, location TBD. ....

I'll still be in school and have clinicals during NOC shifts. Maybe the next one I might be able to attend. Have fun everyone.

Save the date for a meetup: Saturday, April 30th, 10:00am, location TBD. Thanks to everyone who responded. We still don't have a location locked down, so please do reach out if you can offer space. Thanks.

Making this official: we're booked and confirmed at Glen Echo Town Hall on Saturday, April 30th, 11:00am to 4:00pm. I'll post info on parking and other logistics details closer to the event. Many thanks to Glen Echo resident @aaronhirsch for sponsoring the event on our behalf!

Sweet, I'll be bringing my ZMF Verite Close with Hugo 2 and maybe Vioelectric 281

Since the general planning has been done (date, time, and venue), I've created a new thread for discussion of this particular event:

Per the Glenn Echo Town Hall Website:

"No parking for events in the Town Hall parking lot until after 5 pm Monday-Friday and after 1 pm on Saturdays. Parking is available in the Clara Barton parking lot off Oxford Rd."

After gear drop off - there should be plenty of parking at the Clara Barton parking lot - it's quite large.

Looking forward to seeing everyone!

 

[aaronhirsch]

Thanks for pointing this out, the post office has 1st dibs on parking in the lot for customers until they close at 1:00. However, there's plenty of street parking in the neighborhood immediately around the town hall. Otherwise the lot by Glen Echo park / Clara Barton House is huge and is two blocks away.

Popping by to say hi and express interest in future meetups (hopefully this summer?).

I posted as well in another DC thread. I’d love to get a chance to chill with fellow audio people

I’m Dan’s Audio Reviews on YouTube by the way.

 

[schneller]

I am still around and would be nice to see people again.

 

[kendavis]

I think that the main obstacle is finding a suitable (inexpensive) venue. August might be a good time frame, but anything is welcome.

In case anyone here is interested in going...

Join us for the first Texas Audio Roundup, hosted by Schiit & Emotiva, July 22 & 23, 2022 in Austin, Texas.

Here's all the info. Registration link is included here too:
