I've got like 30 minutes to get caught up with this meet thread, and I'm way over already. Forgive my absence, but, as tyrion pointed out, I'm swamped with family duties and obligations, some of which threaten my very meet attendance, but the education process and proper priority setting classes have begun, and I am confident I will prevail.
Now, to clear my name, and set matters straight ...

Dear Head-fiers,
I give to you my humble apologies for the rabid idiocy spawned on this thread. There is no excuse for the posting behavior of my fellow Floridians and their like-minded associates; I offer none, but ask that your forgive them nonetheless, as they cannot help themselves. Do you blame the dog for barking? The lion for roaring? The bear for pooping in the woods? No. Do you ask the zebra to change its stripes? Maybe, but that would make you a really stupid person. We who are cursed with more sensible minds must simply step aside or turn away....or.....

No apologies to the masses required, Vicki - we is what we is. Good explanation, though, and perhaps some will even come to understand our errant behavior.

I'll do it! I was so hoping you'd pick that pair. I finally have both a reason to do so and someone to blame. Perfect!!!

Sorry I won't be there to see the k1k fashion statement at TIA. Hopefully thrice will have a camera.

My favorite line of all time, "you can't leave.. all the plants will die."
We may have to get seriously drunk at this meet and duct tape Matt to a chair and force him to watch Stripes.

We *MAY* have to? Sounds mandatory to me.

what the heck is a podcast? as you may know, i try to keep a low profile at florida meets & do not need to be podcasted unless i am in disguise. it is bad enough that some people post photos of me without my written permission. my family sees these photoshop enhanced photos from florida meets & are not familiar with the obscene characterization some of you have portrayed of me at past florida meets. fortunately, they know the difference between the real me & the photoshop me.
rude behavior is not something i am usually associated with. however, there are some bad actors in florida who insist on taking advantage of my innocence & introduce me to bad behavior inducing music. i saw a few of those names on the attendee list so i may have to give serious consideration about not attending in person. i may send a stand in double in my place.

Hard to say, Vicki. The change can be instantaneous.

Dan - our west coast is Tampa, Sarasota, Ft Meyers, and Naples, but you are correct in saying it is awesome.

Photos and audio records could be then forwarded to his new boss. Perhaps he's going somewhere. Perhaps not.

What, we need reasons to be silly and make merrry? Normal FL meet behavior not enough for you? We should kick it up a notch in jp's honor? Alright, I'm in.

I don't know, Mike. Gene's totally bailed on this thread and the meet is practically in his back yard. It doesn't bode well. I see his posts in the amp threads. I know he's been cruising in the souce forum. I see him online, but he is ignoring us. Do you think it was something we said?
BTW, Matt had a good question a few posts back. What will be the deal with transportation for outings? Should we try the van thing again, at least for one night, or will we trust that enough of us will remain sober to drive AND be willing to haul drunken fools around. I'm the only sober one I know in this crowd who is also a fool. Towert7 is too young to drink, but then also too young to put up with you. How many of us are there staying over? Going out? Hey, there's still that wedding going on. Do they have a band?
|
As noted above, I am here in spiirit. As to transportation, I've looked into limo and van services, but found no on call type available such as jp, tyrion, Voltron and I abused so well in NY. They want us to hire a van and driver for the night. I'm also thinking we rent a van for the weekend, and share driving duties, tyrion excluded, of course. I will asume responsibility.

Now I say outrageous things to strangers in your honor. I was innocent. Okay, maybe not, but it will be a celebratory anniversary nonetheless.

How touching ... Were you that innocent young thing on the floor with the 650s?
And, Finally, the quote of the thread so far ... drum roll please ...

. The b...th who sold it won't refund the money and wants me to do a claim, but the box wasn't damaged so that's out. She's also willing to send it to Heed for repair, but that's in Hungary. I filed a dispute, but Audiogon now wants me to pay $95 for a moderated decision. Will you take a look at it for me and see what's what? I'd rather give one of you the $95 to take a look and more if it can be fixed easily and you wouldn't mind. Let me know.
