Hey guys...
 
Long story short. I've moved from Brooklyn to CT. I'm planning to move the meet closer to where I live, but still in a reasonable spot, which is still considered the NYC Area. I've got a hold on a place in Stamford, CT for November 15th. Before I seal the deal I wanted to put a poll out there to see what others are thinking. This venue will provide free parking; has a shuttle that runs from the Stamford Train Station -- 40min to an hour by train from Grand Central; is an hour-ish from major NYC area airports; has hotel rooms at a reasonable rate; and has enough power and space to fit us all in.
 
So here's the poll...

 NY Meet meet should in be in NY

Sorry but completely agree with Frank. I understand that Babylon is way cheaper than Queens but CT isn't NY

 

[Herueyes]

Hmmmm... :blink:Maybe it should be the Tri-State Area Meet? But either way I'll be on that Merritt Parkway...

 

[Mullet]

oleg,
 
Not to get into a silly semantic argument... but nor is Babylon, NY in NYC. Nor is NJ -- where NYC area meets have been held in the past. Stamford, CT is considered to be in the NYC metro area.
 
According to Wikipedia... "Approximately 30 miles from Manhattan, Stamford is in the Bridgeport-Stamford-Norwalk Metro area which is a part of the Greater New York metropolitan area."
 
No worries though. Bigger and better things are to come of this... So most likely you won't need to take a 45min train ride to Stamford.

Hi Scott.

It's not a problem to take 45 min train ride, i'm just hoping that it might happen in Queens as it was before

 

[jpelg]

I think a meet in Stamford is a good idea. Easily accessible from the north & south by public transport or by car.
 
Call it whatever you want.

 

[rawrster]

I think it could be worth a shot if enough people wouldn't mind going. It could bring about some new faces. Of course Queens or Babylon is much more convenient for me

Guys I spoke with Mullet and I am working with Scott and Audio360 buddies third_eye and warrenpchi to organize a huge meet somewhere in NY, probably in Queens.We are hoping to have a date set up for sometime in November. We would like to have a Super Meet like LA and San Francisco with lots of vendors and 200-300 NY area Members attend. We will keep everyone posted.

 

[warrenpchi]

Hi everyone, SoCal Head-Fier here, but I would love to visit NY again and meet all of you.  If you wouldn't mind having us, third_eye and I would love to work with Frank to organize a NY meet.  We have a reasonable amount of experience with meets and shows...
 

 

 
...so I don't think we'll mess it up too badly.

Like Frank said. We briefly spoke a few days back. I was filling the vacuum because Fall meets seemed to be going extinct. Like I hinted at in my earlier post, I'm all for having something that is better organized with more vendors and higher overall turnout. There is no reason the NYC area can't have something bigger and better like our brethren on the left coast.
 
Stay tuned for more information in the weeks and months to come.

 

[olegausany]

Great idea, hopefully it's will be at least as good as SoCal meet i read about

 

[blackwolf1006]

Sign me up. NYC is only a 1.5 hr ride away.

 

[JMcMasterJ]

I'd love a meet in Stamford if it can happen.

 

[warrenpchi]

  Like Frank said. We briefly spoke a few days back. I was filling the vacuum because Fall meets seemed to be going extinct.

 
And from reading Frank's show reports about the meet, doing a pretty darned good job of it too. 

  It'll be great workin' with ya.

Lol guys, I think it's widely acknowledged that there are more Head-Fiers in NY than anywhere else in the country.  Hopefully what we do will be worthy of that.
