MexicanDragon Posted January 3, 2013 Report Posted January 3, 2013 (edited) Update: CanLanta 2013 May 4th, 2013 Time: TBA Marriott Century Centerhttp://www.marriott.com/hotels/travel/atlne-atlanta-marriott-century-center-emory-area/Link for Hotel at discounted rate Original: Hey guys and gals, Some of the Atlanta crew is looking to throw together a shindig in the spring. We usually have a decent turnout locally, and we sometimes partner with a big audio club in the area which gets some of the speaker guys out to play, but this year we're wanting to see if some of you guys would be interested in heading out to check out Atlanta for a few days (with a meet in the middle.) We have a venue that would probably be able to house a CanJam style meet if there was interest in a non-RMAF version, so let me know if anyone would be interested. The idea is to plan around finals for the college set, but if anyone has a date in mind, post up. **BRENT** Edited April 7, 2013 by MexicanDragon
shellylh Posted January 3, 2013 Report Posted January 3, 2013 I may be interested after classes are over. 1
MexicanDragon Posted January 3, 2013 Author Report Posted January 3, 2013 Sweet. Let us know a time frame that's good for you and I'll try to see how it works with GaTech and other Atlanta schools. I'd imagine it's close. Trav (some of you know him) is going to be handling the Head-Fi part, I think, but we've been talking about putting together another meet for a while now. **BRENT**
shellylh Posted January 3, 2013 Report Posted January 3, 2013 We have the last day of classes on April 19th. The weekend of May 11th is graduation and I'm required to attend that. Plus, I have two PhD students graduating and they would kill me if I missed the hooding ceremony.
MexicanDragon Posted January 3, 2013 Author Report Posted January 3, 2013 Dinny, you're in! Great! Shelly, what about April 27th, or May 4th (both Saturdays)? **BRENT**
luvdunhill Posted January 3, 2013 Report Posted January 3, 2013 I'm planning a few trips to Atlanta next year, so I'll try and attend. The earlier the better for me. 1
jp11801 Posted January 3, 2013 Report Posted January 3, 2013 I'd be in for a trip to Atlanta, since my Pops lives in the area I could make it a 2fer. 1
Absorbine_Sr Posted January 3, 2013 Report Posted January 3, 2013 Always a maybe. Let's see where the dates shake out and if I actually expect to have any money at that point. 1
shellylh Posted January 3, 2013 Report Posted January 3, 2013 Dinny, you're in! Great! Shelly, what about April 27th, or May 4th (both Saturdays)? **BRENT** Those would probably both be ok. The weekend of April 20st is also bad since I might be running a conference that weekend.
TomB Posted January 3, 2013 Report Posted January 3, 2013 Count me in!! I will provide local help, too, if I can - just let me know what you want me to do, Brent. 1
MexicanDragon Posted January 4, 2013 Author Report Posted January 4, 2013 Thanks TomB! We'll let you know when it's a little closer So, earlier the better, but after 4/20. Trav, can you check on April 27th and May 4th availability? Mike, JP, luvdunhill, dinni, those dates good for you? I'm sure Purk and fitz will be in here shortly as well. For the out-of-towners, maybe you can bring some small/portable rigs? Trav, can you get in touch with JHAudio about 13 and 16 demos, and does anyone know about demos for UE Capitols? I think this could be a good meet (lots of people still into the hobby there) and hopefully we can have a fun gathering too! **BRENT**
luvdunhill Posted January 4, 2013 Report Posted January 4, 2013 I'll have to verify when I get home, but I think either should be fine. If not, I'm sure I can make it work.
Trav Posted January 4, 2013 Report Posted January 4, 2013 I'll try and check availability for those dates. Ill see if i can get in touch with Jerry or Brittany about possible demos.
Trav Posted January 4, 2013 Report Posted January 4, 2013 Just got off the phone with Marriott, the amphitheater is currently available for 4/27 and 5/4. 1
shellylh Posted January 4, 2013 Report Posted January 4, 2013 I've been told that I need to go to Antico Pizza the next time I am in Atlanta so I expect a trip there. 1
TomB Posted January 5, 2013 Report Posted January 5, 2013 4/27 or 5/4 sounds OK. I can't make it before that in April.
MexicanDragon Posted January 5, 2013 Author Report Posted January 5, 2013 Talked to Trav, I think we're going to try to nail down May 4. Does that work for the out of towners? In Atlanta, we typically do the one-day thing, but if we're going to have out of town guests, we'll definitely try to entertain. Now, I'm 2 hours out, so not necessarily my "hometown", but Antico Pizza (perhaps Saturday night), maybe we can find some music to get into. Perhaps JP can lead us on a pub crawl? Oh... it's a bit out of the way, but does this sound fun to anyone, for maybe Sunday? http://www.atlantamotorsportspark.com/our-services/karting/ It's the only F1 spec kart track in America, and it's 20$/session (8 minutes, 12-20 laps, I think). **BRENT**
Absorbine_Sr Posted January 5, 2013 Report Posted January 5, 2013 Yeah, if the time permits I might want to try a few laps... 1
MexicanDragon Posted January 5, 2013 Author Report Posted January 5, 2013 I think it'd be fun, and I've been wanting to get down there. I have friends who've run the big track a few times and really like it (just opened this past year), and the karts are all 50+mph. If there's interest, I'll contact the owners and I have racing buddies in the area who are usually game for this kinda thing. I already know a couple of them are game. **BRENT**
MexicanDragon Posted January 5, 2013 Author Report Posted January 5, 2013 Since we seem to have a date in mind now, I just shot off an e-mail to the head of the A-VCOA (Audio-Visual Club Of Atlanta), who has helped with an AXPONA and held two headphone specific meets of their own, one of which they even brought in our good buddy Tyll for a presentation. While most of these guys and gals are "speaker people", there are some people with some nice headphone rigs as well. **BRENT**
purk Posted January 7, 2013 Report Posted January 7, 2013 I should be able to attend Brent. Thanks for the head up. Let me know if I can help you out with anything. 1
jp11801 Posted January 8, 2013 Report Posted January 8, 2013 There are several top notch beer bars in the little 5 points area 1
MexicanDragon Posted January 8, 2013 Author Report Posted January 8, 2013 Awesome, jp. I have more news later that I want some input on. **BRENT** 1
