Grahame Posted December 29, 2009 Report Posted December 29, 2009 Count me in. In calculating power requirements for the meet, exactly how much (mains) power does it take to to sit around and say, Yep, these JH-13's are pretty sweet?
Voltron Posted January 15, 2010 Report Posted January 15, 2010 Has everybody who is planning to attend this meet posted here or in HF? Just trying to figure out numbers, and space requirement for the meet itself.
Voltron Posted January 16, 2010 Report Posted January 16, 2010 As another guy named Al once said rather infamously, "I am in control here." JP has stepped aside as lead organizer for this meet because he has other things going on in his life and he may not be able to attend, although I am trying to control that situation too. :wink: Anyway, we are moving forward in any case, and I wanted to post up some details. I have secured a great room at the Doubletree Hotel in Burlingame, which is the same place we had for the last Bay Area meet near the SF airport. Date/Time: Saturday February 27th from 9:30am to 6pm Location: DoubleTree Hotel, 835 Airport Blvd., Burlingame, California, United States 94010-9949 San Francisco Hotels - Hotels near San Francisco Airport - Doubletree San Francisco Airport We have a different room but it is very similar in size to the larger meet room from August. It also opens onto a courtyard that we can use as a talking area so as to minimize the chatter while people are trying to listen to gear. Here is the floor plan and we have the Sequoia and Redwood rooms: Please post whether you want some table space and what gear you are planning to bring if you have not already done so. We will post this information and a gear list in the first and second posts of the thread for easy reference. Make sure you ping your Bay Area pals who were at the last meet or other meets or have always said they wanted to go to a meet. Depending on the number of attendees, be prepared to pony up $10-20 to cover the room expense. It isn't mandatory, but I'm not planning on footing $800 for myself. See you all next month!

Iron_Dreamer Posted January 17, 2010 Report Posted January 17, 2010 Thanks for the effort in JP's absence, Al. I think that hotel generally worked out very well last year, and has the added benefit of familiarity for all those of us who were there.
jp11801 Posted January 17, 2010 Author Report Posted January 17, 2010 just as an FYI I accepted a job in PA that starts February 1st so this puts my attendance in jeopardy. I am going to try to attend but need to see how crazy things are when I get to the job. Relocating is a massive time suck

jp11801 Posted January 17, 2010 Author Report Posted January 17, 2010 Dinny the move's main purpose is to convert you to apple>amarra 4 > amarra full after that my work is done
Hopstretch Posted January 17, 2010 Report Posted January 17, 2010 I'm thinking you can get to New York pretty easily from most parts of Pennsyltucky and a weekend exploring The Blind Tiger, Spuyten Duyvil and the Ginger Man might be in order. What do you reckon, Dinny?

What do you reckon, Dinny? I think I'm in NYC 2/19 - 2/21. I reckon we've got a Mini-Meet coming up, listening to the beers of the world.
Voltron Posted January 19, 2010 Report Posted January 19, 2010 Justin/HeadAmp and Craig/Eddie Current will be attending the meet, and others are possible as well. Here is the layout for the room, which has been shifted back to the same large room we used at the last meet: As you can see, there were 17 tables, but I think we can squeeze in at least 1 more given that I do not believe we will be dividing the rooms. If we run out of room then we will have to decide whether to get more $pace or just share these tables as economically as possible.
Icarium Posted February 25, 2010 Report Posted February 25, 2010 Hey can anyone bring a spare transport? I'm bringing assemblage dac3.0 modded, balancing act and ad2ks... probably setting up on craig's table or near it (was so busy lately i forgot to reserve a table)

blessingx Posted February 25, 2010 Report Posted February 25, 2010 Oops, I didn't even know we were reserving tables. If there's 1/2 available I'd gladly fill.
guzziguy Posted February 25, 2010 Report Posted February 25, 2010 Just heading out the door. Will pick up Gene and Matt at SFO. See you all soon. Sorry you won't be there John. It won't be the same without you. That means that there will be more Pliny for the rest of us.

In fact, I am going to have to drink a lot to forget the pain.

In fact, I am going to have to drink a lot to forget the pain. If all goes well over the next night or two I might have something that'll ease a great deal of pain. Or cause significant pain that you won't have it on hand for the meet.
episiarch Posted February 25, 2010 Report Posted February 25, 2010 Michael and JP, you will be missed. In fact, I am going to have to drink a lot to forget the pain. Thanks, Al. I appreciate the sacrifice. I might have to drink a bit myself to forget the pain of you forgetting the pain. Off-topic, what does a guy have to do to graduate from n00b status to actually being able to see the for-sale forums?

I might have to drink a bit myself to forget the pain of you forgetting the pain. Looks like I may be dealing with a bunch of folks who have become ... I may have to raise a Diet Coke, Microwave a Brownie, or take a trip to Fairfax Scoop to cope with all the pain-forgetting:)
Icarium Posted February 25, 2010 Report Posted February 25, 2010 Thanks, Voltron now has me covered on transport Oh yeah guzziguy mind bringing the jfet parts if they are still in your possession? Well it's probably too late, and I'm not even sure you still have them or what the jfet situation is... so busy.
Voltron Posted February 25, 2010 Report Posted February 25, 2010 From the other place, here are the details just for convenience. Asr: you should print out this new version of the table chart. Thanks. Meet in 2 days! Date/Time: Saturday February 27th from 9:30am to 6pm Location: DoubleTree Hotel, 835 Airport Blvd., Burlingame, California, United States 94010-9949 San Francisco Hotels - Hotels near San Francisco Airport - Doubletree San Francisco Airport I am attaching a room layout with my best shot at a distribution of the available space. Please stick to the table assignments and if there is some need to re-jigger we will assess that on Saturday. Asr will be in charge of opening the room hopefully around 9am and will hopefully have a copy or two of the layout. If you plan to attend and do not see your name on the Attendee List below, please post in this thread and we will add you. If you are hoping for some room to show your gear on a table and do not see your name on the room layout and your stuff in the Gear List below, please post in this thread and we will try to fit you in. On the other hand, if you said you want table space and now cannot make the meet or do not intend to bring gear, or I just put you on the chart and you really do not want any table space, post that up too so we can plan to use the space for somebody else.
