If anyone is planning to bring refreshments (soda, bottle water), coolers, extension cords, name tags, or tables, please let me know.

We are also having a raffle the proceeds of which will be donated to Head-Fi and some may cover meet expenses, only if necessary. I’ll keep you updated in the thread as to what will be raffled off and the price of raffle tickets.

Previous PM

Hello California Head-Fiers:

The time is near to the Southern California January 15, 2006 meet.

As indicated in the thread, everyone is welcome to attend even close friends and family, but I would have a bit of concern about bringing some children due to the expensive equipment that will be at the meet.

We do need as many extension cords as we can get our hands on. If anyone can spare to bring some that would be great. Additionally, we need tables since the studio doesn’t have any; and therefore I am bringing about six fairly good size tables. Also, it would be nice to have cold soda and bottled water, so if anyone wants to bring refreshments that will be appreciated. I’ll bring a few coolers and ice to keep the drinks cold; if anyone else wants to bring some ice or a cooler or two as well that would be cool. I suppose having more than we need would be better than not having enough, but nothing is required of anyone to attend.

The doors will open at 10:30AM, but Head-Fiers are welcome to arrive anytime thereafter. I am setting the end time at 10:30PM, but this is not in stone so we can go longer, if we want.

Velogreg made a great suggestion to put a marker of some sort on the corner of XXXXX Avenue and on the driveway to the building where the meet will be held to make it easier to spot. My cell phone number is (XXX) XXX-XXXX, in the event that anyone gets lost or needs help finding the location.

Edwood has made some great suggestions about food, labeling gear, and nametags. We will probably make a food run or order pizza. Everyone bringing gear should remember to label it with name/Head-Fi user name, so it doesn’t get mixed up with others. Edwood offered to bring painter’s tape and sharpies so Head-Fiers can label their gear, as long as it’s not on leather. We are also considering printing out nametags.

Cool, dollar.

I've talked with Craig Uthus (AKA Eddie Current / formerly Moth Audio) and he seemed interested as well.

If this comes together, I'll definitely bring my EC2A3 and E5.
 
Nov 15, 2005 at 10:53 AM Post #4 of 158
Im interested.

I have the micro stack woodied hd600 and hd580s

and various cables. not sure if I can bring the xcd-99, I have the footers installed its really delicate.

Craig (Eddie Current—AKA Moth Audio) told me, he should be able to make it. Maybe, he’ll put together something special.

I am going to ask Grover Huffman, if he would like to attend too.
 
Nov 19, 2005 at 8:38 AM Post #13 of 158
Definitely interested.

Shopping is in order, and no better way to do it...heh...

D-E905 -> RnB Sky Blue Mini to Mini -> SR-71 -> HD-280's...

As I'll be heading down to the San Diego meet early Dec, I'll hopefully have decided on, and recieved, an upgrade to my poor dying HD-280's that have seen far more abuse then any headphone ever should ;p
 
Nov 26, 2005 at 3:02 PM Post #14 of 158
I'm interested

I could bring my DT880's with SPC cable, M³ amp, and hopefully my finished Dynahi amp.

If I'm in town that weekend, I'd like to attend.
