The Monkey Posted September 15, 2012 Author Report Posted September 15, 2012 I wanted badly to come, but it's a no-go for me this year. When it's right up the street it's easy to justify RMAF swallowing CanJam, but when you fly across the country it feels long on corporate and short on awesome. Except, of course, if you get to hang out with me.
naamanf Posted September 15, 2012 Report Posted September 15, 2012 Hyatt Regency Tech Center. About a 5 minute walk away from the show. Stayed there last time and it was fine. Follow the links at the RMAF website and it should take you to the discounted res page. I'll be at the Convention Center Hyatt downtown Thur-Sun but will definitely be coming down at least Friday.
The Monkey Posted September 15, 2012 Author Report Posted September 15, 2012 Sounds good to me. Let's drink some beer.
naamanf Posted September 15, 2012 Report Posted September 15, 2012 Sounds good to me. Let's drink some beer. You know it! Thursday and Saturday will be big beer drinking days for me, might have to switch to cask strength whiskey on Friday
deepak Posted September 17, 2012 Report Posted September 17, 2012 If you change your mind I might have room for you to stay, especially if Blutarsky cancels. He's got to fly in from Wash DC too. That would be a shame if Bluto cancelled
HeadphoneAddict Posted September 17, 2012 Report Posted September 17, 2012 That would be a shame if Bluto cancelled Bluto's got frequent flyer miles to cover half the plane fare, but he's not 100% sure that he is off that weekend yet. Although he moved to DC earlier this year he comes back to Colorado 3-4x a year for his work, and this would be an extra trip that he may not be able to combine with work. The Marriott gives me the same room every year facing the courtyard, which has 2 doubles and an armchair, but no couch for an extra visitor to sleep on. So, I'm trying to find out as quick as he can let me know whether his spot is available for someone else or not. My son gave up his spot to go on a Boy Scout trip to the sand dunes. I'm pretty sure my wife is either going with the scouts or staying home with our daughter. If someone really needs a place to crash, there is always the option of a sleeping bag on the floor. I can supply inflatable sleep pad and bag.
The Monkey Posted September 21, 2012 Author Report Posted September 21, 2012 Flights booked. Arriving Thursday night, leaving Sunday afternoon.
aardvark baguette Posted October 8, 2012 Report Posted October 8, 2012 (edited) If any of you guys have the time, I'd be really interested in any brief impressions on the Teresonic Ingeniums (room 442 atrium). I may end up getting these and the FirstWatt SIT1 monos. I'm looking for a reason not to go after the Voxativ, and these are half the price. Edited October 8, 2012 by aardvark baguette
jp11801 Posted October 9, 2012 Report Posted October 9, 2012 (edited) So right now is it just Dinny, Naaman, HPA , Tyll and me? Edited October 9, 2012 by jp11801
The Monkey Posted October 9, 2012 Author Report Posted October 9, 2012 ASR should be there, too. Todd (TTVJ) will be there and will do another beer thing, which is good because I like beer things.
deepak Posted October 9, 2012 Report Posted October 9, 2012 Sorry guys, I wanted to attend really badly :'(
Hopstretch Posted October 9, 2012 Report Posted October 9, 2012 Please to listen to new Harbeth Monitor 30.1s for Stretch and to drink many delicious ales, also for Stretch.
grawk Posted October 9, 2012 Report Posted October 9, 2012 go to the mayor of old town in ft collins for me, dinny.
naamanf Posted October 10, 2012 Report Posted October 10, 2012 (edited) Well as in typical fashion the Army giveth and taketh away. My friend who was supposed to go with me now can't go (most likely) and I need to figure out what to do. I have tickets for GABF on Thursday night and Saturday afternoon. I also have hotel reservations at the Hyatt from Thursday-Sunday. If anyone is interest in a ticket (and hanging with me while we drink beer) and sharing a hotel room (when I'm drunk after drinking said beer) let me know. Fuck. Edited October 10, 2012 by naamanf
deepak Posted October 10, 2012 Report Posted October 10, 2012 John, not sure if you were into open reel tape or not. But one of the guys that builds a tape phono (replica Levinson Cello) is hosting a tape talk on Friday at 12 pm. Location should be up on the RMAF website.
Tyll Hertsens Posted October 10, 2012 Report Posted October 10, 2012 Jumping on the bike at about 10 this AM. Decided to make a two day trip out of it as it's so damned cold in the morning and it's a 12 hour ride minimum. The good news? Electrically heated Gerbings jacket FTMFW!!! The really nice thing is that having this much time will let me get off the slab and take some back roads through Wyoming. I'll overnight in Riverton WY most likely. Then blaze into Denver Thursday, hopefully to arrive in time to take some pix of set-up day. I've mounted an O2 and iRiver IHP140 on the bike and will be testing out some UERM, JH13, and some ACS T1 custom IEMs on the trip. Work sucks....not. Pix of brown likker with Dinny coming soon! 1

If I weren't stuck in an office in LA, I'd be there for ya.
crappyjones123 Posted October 10, 2012 Report Posted October 10, 2012 One of the many reasons I'm envious of you. Jumping on the bike at about 10 this AM.

ironbut Posted October 10, 2012 Report Posted October 10, 2012 Let the envy begin! Had to make a choice between RMAF and AES this year (money of course). Hope you guys have a great time and get good and likkerred up!
naamanf Posted October 10, 2012 Report Posted October 10, 2012 Well looks my plans for GABF are now off and I'm scalping the tickets. Now I just need to decide if I'm going to drive in for Friday and Saturday for RMAF. Anyone with a suite to share?
Grahame Posted October 11, 2012 Report Posted October 11, 2012 And there was I thinking Denver was full of Clean Livin' God Fearin' Folks. http://www.denverpost.com/ci_18125525 Have Fun Guys
The Monkey Posted October 11, 2012 Author Report Posted October 11, 2012 In the air. Drinking scotch. First class. Looking forward to good weekend. 1
