  So guys, as much as this hurts me to say it - here's the scoop:
 
Massdrop still hasn't confirmed the meet yet, so - there's always tomorrow 

 . I've already contacted them every day, so please let's give them a chance.
 
The library location is booked through the rest of the year, so it looks like that would be it. I genuinely would like to thank all of you for your patience. I'm probably the one most frustrated. 

 
But we'd be giving them free publicity with this idea:

Our key reasoning with massdrop was that it'd be free publicity for them, so let's dedicate a head-if thread to whatever this prototype audio product is and all list our impressions there once we get the okay from massdrop to do so.

OK folks you may wanna take off your headphones, or at least take notes... 

 

 ANNOUNCING SF MEET FALL 2015 

 ​

LOCATION: Massdrop headquarters ​

   100 Bush Street STE 1000, San Francisco CA, 94104
map link​

 ​

DATE: Saturday Nov. 7th ​

 ​

TIME: 10am - 4pm​

 ​

IT'S OFFICIAL AND 100% CONFIRMED! ​

DON'T MISS THIS ULTRA-RARE CHANCE: 
UNIQUE AND AWESOME GEAR, UNIQUE FOLKS!​

 ​

 
Maximum Capacity: 40 people. This includes one main boardroom for 15-20 people, and another nearby room for 20 or so people.
 
About parking: this is in the financial district of downtown SF, so we will need to arrange our own parking. The best lot I was able to find is SP Plus Parking System on 191 Battery St., 1 1/2 blocks from the event @ $15 for the whole Saturday. More parking options can be found here. I would encourage many of us to work together to arrange a carpool; or you can also take Bart to the Embarcadero station 4 blocks away.
 
Food: there has been talk of free pizza provided, but this will be re-confirmed later.
 
Setup: This is a 'local' Head-Fi meet so the atmosphere is casual, so technically you can show up anytime, however it would be helpful / appreciated if you make an effort to show up on time to set-up your gear (or even maybe 20 min. early).
 
I would now like to ask like each of you to post a reply here to confirm if you will be coming for sure, and to list the gear that you will be bringing (if you haven't already do so), and if you will be bringing anyone. This will allow us to get a head-count and make a 'working list' of the gear that will be present.
 
PS - a big thanks is owed to @dusk, without whom this wouldn't have been possible.
Also if any of you has an idea for an after-party or dinner feel free to arrange it here.

 

[dusk]

I'll add this to the front page and add the names to the list, as well.

 

[dusk]

Everyone confirm below if you are are for sure going, and the gear you'll be bringing.

 

[aamefford]

@aamefford will NOT attend.
 
Too much going on that weekend and following week.
 
@DecentLevi maybe we can work out a small gathering with the Dac-19 and whatever Schiit MB's we can scare up a bit in the future.

[recarcar]
