Greetings Seattle Head-Fi'ers.
Our last meet in May was a blast. We had a great turnout and I was really happy to meet everyone. Sooooo....let's get another one going! Our date for this meet is now set at November 17, 2007.
We have a nice big meeting room ready at the Issaquah Library. The room is said to hold 54 and has 21 tables, so I think we'll get lots of room to spread out. Heck, we might even get some exercise in a space that big.
All Head-Fi'ers are welcome. If you're from Bellevue, Boston, San Jose or Seattle, c'mon down!
I would also like to organize a cash machine for this meet: We need to cover the costs of food and bevs, with any additional dollars going directly to Head Fi. After all, without Head Fi we would all be lonely heaphone users, without any support when snickering at that smug guy on the bus wearing his stock iBuds...
I'll prime the pump (or shoebox) with $20 bucks. No obligation at all: I'd rather build up the group. But it sure would be cool to send it all to Head Fi with our name on it!
The room will be divided into gear section (where the tables are) and snacks and drinks section. This is to prevent possible damage to gear and give people a place to talk. I will encourage everyone to keep their hands clean when using someone else's equipment. Nobody wants to find sticky or oily fingerprints on their beloved gear.
Please reply to this thread if you are planning to attend and list what gear you will bring. Bring your ears, gear and ethusiasm. And don't forget to bring your own power cables, extension etc.

I'd like to attend. Do I need to register or do anything else to attend?
No, just show up. We like to keep the meet open to all members. However, please reply to this thread to let us know that you're coming as there is an upper limit to the amount of people we can have in the room.
Can I bring a friends/family/kids?
Sure, within limits. We're always happy to attract others to our addiction. Please make sure they understand the basic tips, especially about treating equipment with respect.
Unless you have well-behaved, quiet kids, please consider leaving them at home or having the family hang out in the library.
Who pays for the meet?
Donations are welcome to cover the cost of drinks and snacks, but are not necessary to attend. Any money left over will go to support the Head-Fi.org web site.
Can I buy/sell gear at the meet?
You're welcome to come and show off your gear. If you have product for sale, you're welcome to bring it. Just remember that this is primarily a listening forum. Focus on letting people audition your gear, and keep the marketing to the side.
Do I have to bring gear?
No. If you have no gear or just can't bring it for whatever reason, just bring your ears. Don't leave your headphones at home just because they're crappy and think noone else wants to hear them. It might be helpful for you to use them to compare with something familiar.
Is my gear safe? Do I need to watch it all the time?
Maybe we've been lucky, but most head-fi members would agree that the head-fi community is trustworthy and you can leave your gear unguarded at a meet. So far no one's lost any gear at a meet except little things like cables, adaptors, and CDs. These inevitably get mixed up by accident. You might want to clearly label your cables and adapters so people don't forget and pack it by accident when they break down. If you're concerned, watch your gear, or ask someone you trust to watch it. If you do lose something, just post in the meet impression thread. There's a good chance you'll get it back.
