Ok, think I can survive that...  not that it would have stopped me from coming heh...
May need to, um, hydrate often, beer or maybe kickin' chicken since I am not driving anywhere this time.
thanks...

Alright so I'm going but my name isn't on the list yet. I'm pretty sure that the payment went through and everything. The only thing that I have is a Mayflower Electronics O2 Amp + ODAC which I will carry around with me if anyone wants a listen to what nwaguy designed. 
 
On another note, I am serious about tagging along with someone's party if they don't mind. Quick introductions, my name is Viet and I am a 20 year old guy attending UC Irvine in my second year. I am by no means an "audiophile" but I do enjoy listening to music and my dad has been a large influence. He would talk about the golden days when he would listen to ABBA, Madonna, Modern Talking, and many more classics on his neighbor's radio in Vietnam. He carried his passion for music when he came to the US and that passion is in me as well. Really looking forward to this event.
 
So yeah, if anybody would to be so kind as to let me tag along with them so that I don't wander around introducing myself to everyone and not really settling down and finding a niche. Or perhaps if warren and third_eye still need a volunteer to help out with setting up and doing various things at the event I am totally down. If anybody else needs any help with anything at all on the day of, just go ahead and message me and I'll provide you with my cell phone number so we can meet up on that day. Also applies to whoever wants to let me join in on their party. Thanks in advance!

Nice! A whole troupe of us will be descending on that hotel already on Friday night. Dinner and Drinks are planned!

 

[GeneraI]

I live to far away to come to this meet. If you excuse me, I'm going to cry myself to sleep.

 
 
I hope to see posted impressions on the new gear, espically the He-560's.

 

[bearFNF]

What?? Um, don't take this the wrong way but, there is no such thing as too far away...some are coming form Japan, Australia, and northern MN, so, need a ride? speak up someone might be near by...

Viet, come by my table and I'll introduce you to a few people to get you started.  We can all hang out for a while and then see what everyone wants to do from there.  Ethan and I will probably be running around like mad for most of the day, but I'm sure we'll know some people making the rounds at the meet.  I expect that a LOT of people will want to go around getting their raffle cards filled out. 

  You should too.
 
Trust me when I tell you that everyone is really nice and super-friendly. 

  But yeah, come on by!

If one is going and bringing two people (Say a mom and a friend), should I complete separate registrations and payments for all 3 of us?

Yes, all admissions to the meet require a separate registration and payment. With that said, for those coming with +1's who don't have much interest in personal audio there is a footbridge from the hotel directly into South Coast Plaza which is one of the nicer malls in Southern California and a perfect place for someone to spend several hours.

Viet has graciously offered to help out a little at the Desk so he will be one of the crew in no time!
