I have to check my work schedule but I can probably make it. Is participating in the cost of the room a requirement. I live close enough to drive there.

Yes, participating in the cost of the room is a requirement. The room is necessary so we have a place to have our meet. That's why we're all chipping in.

UPDATE
I've added a list of gear that some people are bringing. Please PM me, if you haven't done so already, if you plan on bringing gear. The list is not definitive, as there might be much more equipment coming that is not listed. So use it as a basic point of reference.
No one needs to be embarrassed that they aren't bringing anything, nor should they be embarrassed if they're only brining one thing. The idea is to audition some great equipment; and if you can contribute your own, then all the better. Now matter the quantity, please PM me if you have something to bring to the table.
*Additional Note: We have 9 November confirmations so far.

N/M, the cost is completely understood. That was a fail (possibly EPIC?) on my part as I thought the $100 fee was per person

I can bring:
netbook with music loaded on it
behringer usb ->optical
zero dac
hd580 stock
i'm not sure if it is even worth bringing since there will be much better gear to listen to. What do you guys think?

It maybe equipment that some people want to try it. You may as well bring them - because what do you have to lose? I am curious about the "Zero" dac, myself, but my optical port is only on my Mac Pro Tower, which weighs 70lbs! I have a first generation Macbook Pro that I'm bringing, but I don't think it has optical. Regardless, I'd like to sample the "Zero" and see how it compares to my Apogee Duet.

Question...how long/what hours are we thinking of holding this? I'm coming from the Ft. Lauderale area (a little north) so it's a 3 hour drive. If I need to sleep somewhere, that might be nice

Don't forget that while there may be better high end rigs to listen to, it is nice to have various price ranges because not everyone can afford the higher-end stuff, so mid-fi or lower-end gear present at meets provides an opportunity to know what they can both like and afford.
Also, some people prefer simpler rigs for say, office setup.
As George Bush said: No rig left behind!
Well, something to that effect, anyway...

As I understand it the idea is to start at 9am-10am and end at about 6pm-7pm. But f00fighters can correct me.
BTW, I believe today is the deadline for commitment so the room can be reserved.
I do not believe it is out of place to remind all of us of meet etiquette.
1. Please on this day do not oil/grease your hair. We do not want the oil/grease on our gear.
2. Same with perfume/cologne we do not want it transferred to our gear.
3. Do not bring food or drinks to the listening station, accidents happen and well ... we do not want that.
4. If you have eaten a greasy burger or pizza (and we all love them) please wash your hand before picking up or touching the gear.
5. Please ask before taking, specially if you wish to take a headphone to another rig.
6. If you want to plug or unplug a headphone please lower the volume, if SS turn it off in addition to lowering the volume.
On a similar thought please remember to bring extension cords, adapters you may need, and small towels to place your delicate headphones to prevent scratching them. Cheers and lets have fun!
If you have any other suggestions please share them. Thanks.
