I wasn't able to go to the last one in January so of course you go and make it over the summer while I'm back home lol. I would go to this if I was in DC.

I'm putting this on my calendar and will attend if I'm in town.
 
I'll probably be running FLACs from my laptop to an Audioengine D1 DAC/amp for the cans
Grado SR-200s (1991 vintage)
Fostex T50-RPs with who knows what mods by then
 
Rockboxed ipod with a Fiio E11 amp for the IEMs
Smattering of bang-for-buck IEMs including Monoprice 8320, Philips SHE3580, Thermaltake Isurus, AT CKM-50, few others
 
Sharing IEMs might weird people out, so I guess I'll bring some rubbing alcohol & q-tips/cotton for cleaning between users. (?) What's the usual etiquette on this?
 
I've never been to a headphone gathering. Looking forward to auditioning some nicer cans & IEMs & amps before deciding where/how to drop any significant money on upgrades.

Maybe I will plan on making it.  I could bring a bit of portable stuff without much problems.  Amperior may be here by then along with the HD25, DT1350s and my DX100.  All these can go either single ended or balanced with the SR-71B and iBasso DB2 (but who needs it with the line out of the DX100).  I now have the ALO Rx Mk3-B amp.
 
What I would be willing to bring:
 
ATH-ESW10JPN stock
Beyer DT1350 with dual entry Moon Audio IEM Silver Dragon cable
Senn HD25-1-ii with the MA IEM SD cable
Senn Amperior with MA IEM SD cable if delivered
 
RSA SR-71B
ALO Rx Mk3-b
iBasso DX100 should have the 3rd evolution of the UI by then.
iBasso DB2

Greetings!
 
I've also been lurking around on Head-Fi for a number of months now, and I'm quite interesting in attending this event, too. Even though I'm about 450 km away (to the south), I think this is going to be the closest meet I can make that will occur anytime in the reasonable future.
 
I'll bring my music collection (256kbps CBR MP3s through to FLAC; mostly pop―in the wider sense) as well as my equipment: a Beyerdynamic DT770 Pro (80 Ohm), an Ultrasone Pro 550, and an Audinst HUD-mx1 DAC/Amp. I've also got a few accessories, like 6.35 mm to 3.5 mm adapters, a splitter, and the like, as well as a CEM Mini Digital Sound Meter, which is A-weighted. And, I'll also bring at least 1 extension cord and a power strip.

I'd really like to come but don't have much gear to bring. I've been using Shure SE535s for a while now, but they are my first high quality 'phones. My amp/DAC is a NuForce uDac-2.  And I may or may not have some full-size cans by then.
 
Anyway, not sure if that gear will interest anyone, but I sure would like to see and hear what other people have.

You do not have to bring anything, just bring your friend. Usually there will be more  gear than tables.

If I am free, I'd be interested in attending.
 
If attending, I'll bring:
Violectric V200
Eastern Electric Minimax Plus DAC, with an amperex 12AU7 and possibly upgraded opamps
HD800 (maybe)

I'll be there.  The only new gear I have is another 70s MOSFET receiver.  I've been spending a ton on music lately.  My recently purchased, unplayed playlist has 171 discs in it and I still have over 300 discs in box sets to rip.
