From a UK Member looking in , I was interested in the following taken from post 727 by 'warrenpchi'
 
"As Jude mentioned, we’re offering a limited number of audition spots in a quiet room upstairs, so that we can get feedback from Head-Fiers on how the Liquid Tungsten sounds to you guys.  There are a maximum of 20 audition spots up for grabs, all on Saturday afternoon, each one lasting 15 minutes. "
 
I was reading this as I was interested in the product but my eyes lit up when reading the bit about a 'quiet room'
 
I attended my first 'Meet' last year (in the UK) and did not find the experience to my liking due to the ambient noise levels.
I made enquiries with the organisers (including Jude himself !)of the upcoming London Canjam if consideration would be given to this problem.
The answer at that time was not positive!!
 
Let's hope things are changing and that quiet listening rooms or areas are provided for those wishing to do some critical auditions.
I suspect Members of the Trade and Exhibitors would prefer it that way !!
( I appreciate a single room 'local' meet would have problems in this regard)
 
Looks set to be a great event-I wish all attending will have an enjoyable time.

I saw only 2 panels??  I saw the videos on YouTube from RMAF and they had panels on computer audio, etc... So are those because RMAF is more general audio and not just personal audio?

Can't wait!  It feels like it's been FOREVER right?  

Yes, 5 long months since RMAF but it's finally here!

Yes.

Correct.  

  RMAF covers a much wider range of topics, as befitting the scope of the show.
 
FWIW, as I used to organize the personal audio panels at both SoCal and RMAF, the quality of the personal audio panels is comparable at both.  The mood of the discussions vary, especially when we get to Q&A, because the audience then determines what direction the conversation goes in.  But qualitatively, panels at both shows are equally informative.

  Places that are walking distance from CanJam...
 
 
Want to grab some Japanese snacks/groceries? Mitsuwa Marketplace is great! They also have a Japanese food court (Hokkaido Ramen Santouka my personal recommendation) and they have a nice little bookstore named Kinokuniya with anime, manga, figures!

Since you are local, is this ramen place any good? http://la.eater.com/maps/orange-county-heat-map/kitakata-ramen-ban-nai
 
Is it one of those "long lines" kind of places, like we have here in Austin?

Unfortunately I have never been to this particular ramen shop so maybe someone else who has maybe able to say. It does look interesting and I'm always up to try another ramen place lol!

It use to be a dougnut shop, not that it matters.

 

[jminchoi]

That place looks good, but based purely off the number of yelp reviews, there will be a line

"I think this place is definitely worth the hour wait. Got there during opening time and there was already a huge line! (It was a Sunday though) The menu isn't big but I immediately saw the cold ramen!"
 
 "It took roughly around 45 mins but the wait was.... WORTH IT! "
 
"The service is efficient so an 8 person list is about a 35 minute wait in my experience here. "

Curious, On the board that people will be writing stuff for sale at CanJam, can we post stuff we are looking for???

I have been there but only on weekdays, it's good however on weekdays there is a line but they move fast. It is not walking distance though from the Westin if that is a concern.  I remember the wait being @30 minutes for 2 people.

Yup. Probably not a good choice for lunch then - I don't want to lose valuable time I could be auditioning gear standing in line.
