That sounds cool -- as long as Rick can make it!

Do you by any chance know to what area you'll be moving?

 

[Jacobh]

Should be Harvard Sq area. I'm currently two blocks from Fenway and I'm gonna miss it when I can't just walk to a game. Or interact with the drunken crowds on the way to dinner.

 

[DanG]

Now you can interact with the drunken hobos on the street when coming home.

 

[DanG]

Just a little bump. There's an interested party that would like to come but wouldn't be able to come in September -- is there anyone around who hasn't seen this thread who now might be able to host in Boston in August?

 

[Textual Intercou]

hmm...I'll be coming to Cambridge for school in *late* August. It'd be neat to meet all the local head-fi people if the timing works out, although I'm most likely going to be busy with the new school year.

also, I have pretty much nothing to bring and no way to bring it, unless people want to hear an ipod, etymotics 4p, and a homemade 4p->4s adaptor

 

[Gojira]

Count me in. What does "hosting" entail?

 

[DanG]

A host should be willing to let a few relative strangers into his house as well as have room for putting out the headphone gear. It also depends on the size of the meet -- I figure it's up to the host to determine this. If someone is only willing to have about three or four people at his house, that can be arranged to be a mini-meet, and then someone with more room would be able to host a larger meet later with, say, ten people attending with gear.

The host can decide how it works, though a larger meet can be better because then we can try to borrow interesting equipment from manufacturers like Headroom or from other members.

uh oh

sept is actually looking better for the rickmonster at this time but i wouldn't want to screw up any plans so let's see how this shakes out

 

[Jacobh]

So, I finally got my new place. I'm gonna be out of town for a bit, but I'll be back in mid september. I could probably host something for a weekend in late Sept. If this works for people we can begin to set up more definite plans.

 

[cello]

I'd be up for going to a meet in september, or october, or whenever, in fact. And jacobh's place is right near where I live.

 

[DanG]

There's going to be a CT meet in mid-October and this weekend is Rosh Hashanah (Jewish New Year) so I won't be able to attend this weekend. How about let's plan for late October or early November for a Boston meet?

And Jacob, congrats on the new pad. How many people could you comfortably fit inside?

 

[cello]

so are we definitely doing this thing? should we set a date?

 

[Jacobh]

It's been a while since I've been on head fi do to a lot things. Moving, starting a new job, etc. Anyway, I think we could comfortably fit at least 10 people or so at my place. Date wise the next two weekends don't work so well for me, but after that given some notice most weekends are fine. It's a little late, but Happy New Year (I'm Jewish myself) . Hopefully we'll be able to eventually do this thing.

 

[DanG]

The Grado Labs meet is scheduled for Saturday, Nov. 8 so we shouldn't try to do it that weekend or before. Who can do late November? We could also try to do early December if necessary.

 

[cello]

late november is cool with me. really, anytime before the christmas holiday is fine.
