Scotch tasting would be cool, but like at my house, and with power strips, other than Danny, other people would actually have to bring it

I know we can count on SIBurning to bring some 50 year old, translucent worm bearing, authentic Tequila.

DBT scotch testing?

I ran a blind vodka test at my house not too long ago. Winners (out of 10 or so readily available brands)

1) Zyr
2) Van Gogh
3) Grey Goose

They only problem with these contests is that your judgement gets progressively worse the farther down the list you go.

Eh. OK, it's OT. I'll go

Hey, the meet will be over early enough, I'm up for a little Scotch and cigar session apre-meet. Anybody have any thoughts for a location we can hang and sip that has a portch or something I can stinck up with my stoggies?

Ooo, ooo, does that mean that we could do it at your house! I'll be happy to bring a couple of good flavors, and I promise not to stink up your livingroom.

I'm nix on the scotch, but I wouldn't mind blowing some stogie smoke into immtbiker's turntable gears!

Lagavulin, Laphraoig, Ardbegg, Dalmore, Balvenie, Bhunnahabain, Highland Park and Talisker are my top recommendations...

Dontcha just hate narrow minded people.

The squat little bottles of Glenrothes are pretty good. I haven't developed a taste yet for really smoky brews, but I DO find the Ardbeg a very intregueing taste. Definately a great sipping scotch. Very refined and complex.

(God, I sound like a friggn conoisseur. Don't let it fool you, I'm a total peasant with a few expensive tastes. Believe me; pull my finger and I fart.)

How's about we form a group of 15 people who are serious about the Scotch-fest. We designate each person to bring 1 bottle of a particular brand.
We can have a tasting session in my tiny apartment (5 minutes from the meet), but cigars, are out of the question (wife's rules...along with the turntable gears {which mine don't have any, except in the sealed VPI motor assy}.)
I have a beautiful park across the street from my house, but it will be dark by 5 o'clock, if we change the clocks back. So we can use the park for an hour, and then move it inside, but no more than 15, and not enough drinking to make anyone drivng impaired. Brownies can and will be used against you.

There will not be any door prizes given out, and you must raise the seat before peeing. Farting is unacceptable, except in an emergency situation only. You must sign a waiver, absolving the owner of the apartment of any accident or insurance liabilities, and the use of banners and tazers/stun guns

are forbidden. It will be a carry in/carry out situation, like State Parks, with the exception of all 15 bottles of Scotch, which, for the safety of my guests, must be left on my premises, for future partaking by the owner of the apartment (kidding). OK? Good.

You've been reading to damn many trade show contracts!Leave the bottle there! Price of admittion I guess. I might be forced to drink a bottles worth. (Fortunately, I'll be staying at the hotel/convention center, and could walk back in pretty much any shape.)

This should be fun, maybe we should start a thread in the Members Lounge to coordinate bottles so we don't get too many duplications.

An interesting experiment -- but you'll have to buy the turntable first (cash only) and carry it across the road to the park before you light up the stogie (house rules). Be sure to post your notes on the effect of the stogie on the TT's SQ. Of course, we'll let you use a wee dram to fortify yourself against the astronomical expenditure.

I learned from the best

--------------------------------

If we do want to do this, and do want to start a separate thread, then I think we need a code word for scotch, so the thread doesn't get closed down.

How about Hyabusa? Everyone brings 1 Hyabusa with different upgrades. We could have the McClellan Hyabusa, and the Isle of Jura Hyabusa. No one would ever catch on.

Not too keen on Hyabusa. Prefer single barrel Irish whisky, or American whisky or bourbon. I'll bring that mezcal if someone would just help me figure out the resistor values to debug my DIY time transporter. 1955 was a good year. Was it?

Attendee and equipment list just updated
http://home.nyc.rr.com/stevieo/headfi_meet.html
Don't forget, we need extension cords and cables

 

[raisin]

1955 was a Very good year!

 

[immtbiker]

SiBurning...I like how you edited the first paragraph of your attendee and equipment list link.

Thanks for your extra efforts.

Mr. Slacker, do you have the nametag "sitch-e-a-shun" sorted out? If not, I have about 50 tags left over from the April NYC meet. Let me know.

If people are bring various Hyabusa's, let's get serious and assign "upgrades". We don't want anyone paying anymore than other people (for example $50 Triangle Brand Hyabusa, compared to $15 Johnnie Texas Walker Hyabusa)
I'll leave that to the experts. Chime in, if you want to do the organizing. Maybe if we PM SiBurning, he can make a separate addition to his gear list, so we don't have to start a new thread that might offend others.

T minus 2 weeks, people. This will be the fastest organized large scale meet in the history of Head-Fi.
