Time:
 
Saturday May 7th, 2016
 
9:00am - 3:00pm (note time change to 3PM end as we need to be out of the room completely by 4)
 
We have the room from 9am to 4pm, but we have to be out of the room promptly at 4pm with all the tables put away.  I'll be there at 8:30 am to set up etc.
 
Cost:
 
$10 P/person to cover room fees.  
 
Auction and notes:
 
1.  Please bring cash if possible to make the $10 entrance fee payment.  I can take paypal as well.  Once paid you will get a name-tag.
 
2.  Instead of a raffle we will do an "auction" for the donated items. The price for each item will start low, and be bid on verbally.  The auction will take place at 2PM.  BE THERE!
 
Payment for the auction will be taken in either cash or paypal.  All money above what the costs of the meet will go towards future Portland meets.
 
 
Considerations and Rules for the meet:
 
1. Bring power/extension chords/gaff/duck tape.  There are plugs along the walls around the room, but there's gonna be a lot of amps etc.
 
2. No booze per CTY center rules, no weed, no drugs...just caffeine and treats!
 
3. We gotta be out at 3:30 promptly, so sorry in advance if I'm a jerk about shutting people down around 3:00 and strobing the lights etc ahah!
 
4. Please be careful and respect other members properties, ask before you pull a phone out of a plug – some amps if they are not powered down before inserting or pulling out a jack have the potential to blow.
 
5. No eating/drinking while listening to gear, just to be safe!!!!
 
6. No wet hair, or put anything in their hair at all (e.g. wax, gel, mousse etc)  Also, clean in and around your ears. Nobody wants their cans covered with earwax.
 
7. We will have a table with name tags, please take one, and write your name on it, WEAR IT!
 
--------
 
There will be an auction of donated gear to support the meet, list below with Grizzly's post.
 
The room accommodates up to 250 ppl, the more the better!

There is quite the sum of gear that has yet to be disclosed ie: Bottlehead, TTVJ audio gear being sent, Echo Audio (although they have mentioned the LCD4 and HD800S, not sure which amps), Big Poppas rig, Alo Audio has not mentioned what they are bringing either. Its okay of they don't fully disclose because its good to have some surprise.

Sorry guys there are more coming but I will leave the list as it is for now. If you have posted that you are coming I really appreciate it and if you are not listed it def doesn't imply a lack of significance or that you can't get a table.

Awesome!
It's been a while since we've had a real Portland area meet.
I'll be there.

How far is this community center from downtown? Particularly the Amtrak station or bolt bus station.

From either....
 
About 20 min. by car.
 
About 45-60 by bus.
 
Unfortunately the community center is not on a light rail line.
 
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
I haven't been to a  HeadFi meet in a couple years. I will plan on being in attendance work schedule permitting. Blocking out on calendar now.
 
BTW, I live in SW PDX and and may be able to help with rides (shuttle service) if I have the day free. No promises yet, but am guessing others may be able to help out too.

As much as I would like to be there, the chances are small for me with two young kids and a tired wife. However, I will add it to my calendar in case miracles happen as I have a couple planned trips to Portland that could accidentally sync.
