^ Sorry to hear you both weren't feeling well, it would have been great to meet you. Yes, we all agree this should be more regular and better organized. The venue we were at was actually quite good (although the WiFi was pretty weak). I would love to see this happen in 6 months, or before the summer hits and people are too busy. The blind listening test went well, and as I was expecting to be honest with 7 participants not one of them could do better than 50% accuracy picking out MP3 versus lossless. I hope to repeat this, get more subjects and build a larger sample size. I think the procedure was pretty valid and quite simple so replicating it should be easy enough.
I want to thank everybody for coming out and for your generous donations to help off-set the cost. This time was a little rough as the organization left a little to desired. Shane's girlfriend Chloe came and she was awesome to meet.
I would like to see about an early spring meet where we consider some advertising month out. While I think getting vendors might be tough to do it is well worth striving for. Vendors want numbers so we would need at least 20 attendees to be even remotely of interest. Still, I'm game if you people are. How about the last Sunday in May? Exams are over, most people not in vacation mode, six months away so there is plenty of time to organize and advertise.
