I'm interested in virtual or real meetup.

What do you all think about aiming for September 2021 for an in-person meet? That's the earliest I'd feel comfortable doing it. I really enjoyed the meet at Gramophone in Gaithersburg. Maybe we could work with them to have another meet there?

 

[Bassic Needs]

Did people bring their own gear to Gramophone?

 

[dcguy73]

Yes. I wasn’t the organizer of the event, so I’m not sure if Gramophone provided any equipment themselves or just the space in their office area that we used.

I gave Gramophone (Gaithersburg) a call and inquired about a meet there in September/October. Will report back here when I hear something.

Gramophone did provide some equipment, on one of the first tables nearer the entry to the room (spare space). Though most of the equipment was from local enthusiasts bringing their own gear. I heard they made a few sales, so were quite happy with the turnout/results. However, I also heard later that the space might have been repurposed shortly after that meet.

Wish you luck @dcguy73, and would like to get back to events!

Is Urban Hi-Fi a potential location? I met a bunch of you there a while back and it's a great place.

I would def be interested in joining a meetup once it is decided to have one.

@willsw would be the man to ask

Hey, this is Nicholas from LTA / Urban Hifi. Our workshop is an option, but it is a bit small. The last two local meetups I attended, which were fantastic, would have exceeded our space by two or three times.

So, push comes to shove, LTA can host, but a larger space would be better if available.

Count us in for attending and bringing gear and headphones whenever the next meetup happens - wherever it happens...

I gotta be honest, my enthusiasm over planning a meet has waned in these days of the Delta variant’s ascendancy. Maybe it’s just the fact that my spouse has the flu this week and I’m voluntarily self-isolating so I don’t pass it on to anyone else. I have heard nada back from Gramophone and have not followed up in some time. Perhaps there will be a grand turnaround in the COVID battleground by October, but I’m not so sure anymore.

 

[blacktone]

I want to provide my conference rooms again, but I'm watching how this Delta variant is going.

Kobi Eshun here, long-time head-fi lurker. Would definitely be interested in coming to a meet-up in DC-mero area!

 

[Curtisvill]

I am interested as well but concerned of the continued spread of the Delta variant. I am fully vaxed but am still remaining cautious.
