Date: Saturday, July 26th, 2008

Address:

Courtyard by Marriott Hanover Whippany
157 Route 10 East
Whippany, New Jersey 07981 USA

Time: 10:00am to 6:00pm

***READ WAVOMAN'S POST A FEW POSTS DOWN!***

PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION INFO

Post here or PM me if you are attending with your gear list and I will compile a master list of attendees and gear. I'll keep updating as time goes on with more info.

RULES:

1) A shower is mandatory, no excuses, the morning of the meet. This minimizes dandruff, head-grease, and other whatever that might be swapped during the meet.

2) We have limited room for this meet. Take it easy with the equipment.

Advice #1: Label your stuff. Is your stuff in danger of being stolen? No, but if you have a popular item, someone else is going to bring the same thing and putting a piece of masking tape on your gear ensures that you're not going to accidentally switch stuff with someone else.

Advice #2: Bring power supplies, power strips, and extension cords since power will be unpredictable.

Advice #3: Bring photography equipment if you want to. Everyone loves pictures!

MEET HAS A FEW SLOTS LEFT!

[grandenigma1]

I am in.

Not sure what I have/will have/will feel like bringing but I should be good for something.

 

[SuperNothing]

I will definitely be there.

Equipment List:

Corda Headsix
Yuin PK2
Goldring DR150
Grado SR-325
Grado HF-1
Technics SL-1600 Turntable with Grado Black Cartridge (Maybe if I can figure out how to get it there without messing it up and breaking it.)
Macbook Pro 17"
iPod Nano 2nd Gen 4GB
iPod Classic 160GB

*** Do not confuse our hotel with the Hanover Marriott, a larger hotel on the same road. We are at the COURTYARD Hanover Whippany, which is on the East Hanover / Whippany border.

*** I will be there at 9 a.m. (we have the room at 9) to let people in and help set up. If you don't want to bring your gear thru the lobby, go to the side fire door on the EAST side of the building (the traffic is flowing East on the side of Rt 10 we are on, so East is RIGHT as you face the road, LEFT as you face the hotel) and we will have that open -- the room is right next to the side door.

*** I will have heavy duty extension cords and plug strips, lots of them. Power supplies you're on your own, of course.

*** Jersey Boy bagels will be there for the early birds. I will smuggle those in. The hotel is picky about bringing in food, so just bring a cup of coffee and/or water bottle, etc. No coolers (keep 'em in your car -- park on the East side and you can easily retrieve what you need).

*** We have to start to arrange car pools from the train station, West Orange or Chatham for our NYC friends. I will be opening up the room so I can't do a car pool.

Maybe this new official thread is not getting noticed? Should we PM the folks who posted in the original "interest" thread? Is that considered rude?

Can Jude pull a list of all members who show NJ or NY as their locale, and we do a blast PM to all of them? I am too new to know the rules.

If we can't do a blast, how about a PM to every NJ/NY member who went to CanJam ... the hard core ?

Can we bump this thread automagically every few hours so that it shows at/near the top when anyone views New Posts ??

Why doesn't Jude have a calendar of all regional meets and events at the top of every page?

 

[malldian]

I say the PM'ing is a good idea.

 

[wavoman]

Should MD1032 send the PMs, since MD1032 is the OP and the one in charge??

Let me know if you want me to send any; we could split the list.
