Yeah, that is what I was thinking as well. Maybe we should start up an 'Ontario road trip to the National Meet' thread to gauge interest?

Please read the first page (especially post #4) of this thread. PM Jahn and he will add your road trip requests to the thread on the first page with the other links. It's all covered.

Please use this thread for attendees and equipment lists. All other threads will be linked so new people don't have to sift through hundreds of posts to find out pertinent info.

Wayne, Mike, Brian and BRB...PM Jahn and he will start a separate link for interest in the Flecktones or any other possible extra activities on the first page of this thread.
That's what he's getting paid for. Every link he adds he gets another 1000 posts added to his post count. He should have 30,000 in no time if he can stop getting banned

Yeah, what the Boss Man said! *gets paid in Koss Clips*
BTW, the Bela Fleck link is on the first page - PM me if you end up making that Ontario thread.

I'm in Philly so I'll be taking the Chinatown bus or Greyhound up to NYC if I do go.

I'll be bringing whatever DIY amps I have and my balanced RS-1s, balanced PortaPros, and UE-10 Pros (like others will be able to enjoy that though hehe) to the meet if I do come.



Gah! Sorry, I don't think I can make it.

Please add me to the attendee list. Thanks I can't wait.

PLEASE PM me with the rigs you are bringing and the table you want (look at the table map on the first page) so we have a heads-up, thanks! This is for BOTH DAYS - yes, Head-fi member rigs are NEEDED for the first day as well as the second day! And each table can fit 3 normal rigs (like my Tower of Power) so you can share one table with two other folks if you want to plan that out and PM me!

IF YOU WANT TO CHANGE TABLES TO A DIFFERENT OPEN TABLE PM ME BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE! Remember - it's nice to be near friends, but it's even nicer to be able to hook into a source!

TABLE NOTES! You can PM me with rules for your table too, or interesting things for the table, like BYOB, or what CDs will be there for folks to listen to, or what bitrate all your tunes will be from your computer, etc!

[size=medium]We are assigning table numbers and using a buddy system[/size].

3 setups to a table, so someone is always around. If you have 2 other people you would like to be grouped with...PM Jahn with who the three are and what each person's setup is going to be and we will have a post so everyone can see what will be there and where.
Table layout is on the first page. Please let Jahn know what your first 3 preferences are.

We are going to have a bunch of portables tables in the middle of the members tables.

Without gear and organizing placement, it won't be a very good meet. Of course people "flying in" are excluded unless you would like to add to the portables tables or are willing to bring something nice in your travels.

Time to get serious. Please don't come empty handed...it wouldn't be fair to those who are lugging gear. Security will be tight and besides the Vendor trial equipment, we are going to have eveyone's setups stay together.

Cutoff for sign-up will be March 22nd, and those who wish to attend after the cutoff will be wait listed and if someone who is already signed up cancels, we will swap places with those who were wait listed in the order they PM'd Jahn.

For security and safety purposes, you must be on the list to get in the meet.

Thanks.

Ok, I'm in. After much waffling and contemplation I think I'm up for it. The wife has been notified of my pending absence and the room has been booked. I'll put together a list of gear that I'll be bringing, 95% DIY stuff mostly but maybe, just maybe this "deadline" will force me to finish a few things that have been languishing far too long...

Looking forward to shaking a hand or 100.

Hello there,

I am new to a headphone meet, never been to one, not sure I would be able to really talk about the stuff I have but I definitly plan to attend the first day. Uncertain for the second day.

With the equipment I have, is it worth to bring it ? (Look at sig) I am afraid it pretty basic stuff with what some other people are bringing.

Lionel
