I will be interested to take a look at them and see if any light bulbs turn on... hmm, a good miner's hat could be made with duct tape and flashlight

I think you've been inhaling too many bublinga wood chips, my friend.

Oh man these things arrive from Romanee today... I cannot keep a straight face on no matter what. These are going to be loads of fun at the meet!

Agreed! They're ugly, and a BIG ugly at that... but put them on (alone and in the dark!) and give them a listen, and then tell us what you think. IMO, they compete farily well sound-wise for $130.

Well the Pittsburgh meet was a success, check out the other forum for impressions. Anyways, does ReasonablyLucid get the Floats next?

 

[ReasonablyLucid]

I think so, want me to PM you my shipping addy?

btw Wmcmanus: where can you buy these anyway? I did a google search but nothing much turned up.
I might want to get a pair just for ****s'n'giggles

After the holidays when I return to Cayman, I'll check to see if I can find a receipt for them. IIRC, it was from a company in the Netherlands, but I'm not 100% sure. I remember that they were out of the "Model Two" Floats and the "Model One" pair (if you can call "it" a "pair" since it's all one piece) that I bought may have been the last one they had in stock. They must be out of production. I can't imagine why... because they're so lovely!

Yeah sure, I'll just ship these out whenever I have some free time. Thanks

Did ya have free time yet?

Thanks Wayne for loaning out the "Floats" for the Pittsburgh meet. I thought they sounded pretty darn good actually. It's a pity that some people think their too ugly to be takin' seriously.

 

[ReasonablyLucid]

Got the floats today, listening to them right now

Already got some weird looks from people, lol

 

[ReasonablyLucid]

So who gets them next?

 

[Wmcmanus]

Good question, ReasonablyLucid!

I guess you can hang on to them until somebody else speaks up. Anyone organizing a meet during March who is interested in hearing the Floats and taking some goofy pics?

Hi Wayne,

Thrice is organizing a meet for the end of March in MD, but I'll be helping out. I'd be willing to take some goofy pics

 

[Wmcmanus]

Sounds good, Hirsch. AFAIK, ReasonablyLucid still has them in him possession. Just send him a PM to see what the status is, and you guys arrange it from there.

Bump for anyone who is organizing a meet and might like to have a "pair" of Jecklin Floats in attendance. Is pair the correct word for this sexy one-peice bathing suit of a headset? They were last seen in the state of Washington where their stunningly good looks are said to have a caused a 20 car pile up.

Please contact ReasonablyLucid via PM if you would like to have them sent to your upcoming meet. Let's get them on the summer circuit!
