I was wondering how many guys live in the seattle area? Thought I might drag the dog and pony show out there, if there are any takers.

 

[hongda]

don't live in Washington, rather Oregon, but I'll drive up if you come over to the west coast during a weekend.

 

[Neruda]

Portland, Tyll! Portland is the place to be! We've got Ian, budgie, Hondga and myself but to name a few!

Or you could stop at both towns...

 

[DanG]

When is this show going to take place? Will it be in the summer (July and August) or in the fall? If it's in the fall, my vote goes to Albany as getting a stop. My college is near there (as is Ian's)

 

[Griffdog]

I don't know about you guys, but I like driving across town a couple times a week and checking out the dog and pony show direct from the source.....

Oh Seattle, hmm? While you're out here, why not stop by Vancouver. BC and say hi to the headwizers/fiers above the border. It would be great for international relations. Do it for NAFTA!!

Are you convinced yet?

(Don't forget to bring the Holmes-Powell

)

Well, the thing is that it looks like the big tour isn't going to happen till next spring. But I'd like to take a little vacation with the wife and kids out to the Seattle area and thought I could right off the gas if I dragged some of our diplay out there. Portland is close enough I guess. The tricky bit is the timing.

So, any of you Portland guys interested in having a HeadFi meeting the weekend after the forth of July? I'd be interested in bringing a couple of the displays out there and setting them up on the Friday, leaving them for a couple of days, and then picking them up on Monday or Tues evening. Something like that.

As in July 7th and 8th? I'll be in California

The other Oregonians might.

Hey, I live in Seattle! And I know there's another headwizer around here too, they told me that there was an Orpheus at Magnolia Hi-Fi.

BTW Tyll, this is a *well-to-do* area with a number of audiophiles (there's *two* high end audio stores within 50' of each other!) so you might think about adding Bellevue (sortof a Seatttle suburb, where all the money is) to your 'target market' list

Have I convinced you to come to the Seattle side yet

 

[deepriver]

If you come put a posting up here and I'll try to make it. I'm 1/2 way between Port. and Sea. If you have a choice come to Port. The money's in Sea., but so is 1/2 the western world's traffic.

 

[eric343]

LOL... That's what the radio is for. Besides, the traffic isn't THAT bad so long as you don't try to cross the lake during rush hour.

 

[Tyll Hertsens]

What I'd really like to do is set the stuff up in someones garage who might be able to spend some critical time listening to a bunch of stuff. And also be able to host a HeadFi get together. Really I'd like to give you guys as much chance as possible to listen to a wide range of headphones.

So......let's see.....how am I gonna figure out where and when is the best time to drag a bunch of headphone stuff out to drizzle land???

I know! How about this: I'll tell you when I can come, you guys figue out when is the best time to get together. The weekends I can make it are July 7,8 - July 14, 15 - Aug 11,12 - Aug 18, 19.

 

[deepriver]

Tyll: My schedule is really flexible. Let's see what some of the others can do.

Eric343: I've been in traffic to Yankees games, Mets games, to the Meadowlands on fall Sundays and last Thursday past Safeco field an hour before game time. Guess which of the above was the worst. But enough about headphones.

 

[eric343]

Well, I'd LOVE to host a HeadFi get-together, but my parents might not like it

, and I can't come down to Portland :madder:

I could post a message on the SeattleWireless (a project I'm part of) and ask if we could use the MeetingSpace (where the somewhat-bi-monthly meetings are held) for a day... Who knows...

On the issue of traffic, yes it can get pretty bad. However, it IS avoidable unless you're going by the aforementioned Safeco Field an hour prior to gametime.

And it dosen't drizzle in the summer. It's either nice and sunny or pouring down in buckets.

How much space does this take up? I might be able to work something out here in Portland.
July 7,8 - July 14, 15 - Aug 11,12 works for me

It would be really awesome if you could make it to Portland.
