Ohio Get together

[xsmi]

Any Interest?

[j allen]

I could be interested. It would depend on when and where.

[concealer404]

^What he said.

[j allen]

This thread seems awfully quiet... No one wants to do it? I could throw my place up as an option, provided folks could accept that it's the size of a matchbox, and somewhat acoustically challenged. I do have plenty of parking space and a decent grill though :)

[xsmi]

I'd love to host but I live 10 away from good hotels and only have one bedroom to offer. If you guys don't mind sleeping on foldout couches and floors I'll host. North West Ohio is my location.

[nduitch]

I live in Northeast ohio. I would be up for a gathering.

[nduitch]

Also my brother would be interested

[bsturgeon89]

I'm up for it. I live in Findlay. I also wouldn't mind hosting if it helps cut some of the distance off for people so they can make it.

Either way, I'm in.

[bsturgeon89]

I also wanted to add that I live in the country so being too loud will not be a problem. I have a couple beds, a pullout couch, a sectional and plenty of floor space.

Either way, lets have it somewhere!

[j allen]

I can drive to wherever, provided it isn't exceptionally far. Don't have much to offer in the way of cool stuff. I could bring my LS50's if you guys want?

Maybe we should start hammering out a concrete location and a date...?

[bsturgeon89]

So whats going on here?

Does anyone want to make this happen?

[xsmi]

If you could host that would be great! i could bring my SRS-2's.

[bsturgeon89]

Sure,

I would love to host.

Lets start talking dates and see when people can make it.

I'm pretty busy til the 4th and then I'm going on vacation after that. The earliest I could do is July 24th.

[xsmi]

24th works for me!

[bsturgeon89]

Cool,

lets see if we can get any followers!!

[j allen]

I'll go in for July 24th. In addition to LS50's, I can bring the Aztec Gauguin's I just got. It's possible that they sound awful and I just can't tell due to hearing damage, but they're a big, heavy, impressive looking curiousity if nothing else.

[bsturgeon89]

As of today including myself in the count, we have 4 attending with 2 possibles.

Anyone else giving any thought?

[j allen]

Random question: what's the age range on the attendees? Should I bring my false beard as well so I can fit in? :D

Well,

I will be 40 July 29th.

One guy that is coming but isn't a member of CP is in late 40s early 50s.

Don't know about anyone else. Unless I invite a couple of my cousins to join in, then they will be in their mid to late 20s

False beard it is! Don't fret though, I am over 21, so you won't have a minor running around :)

edit: I am also housebroken, and fairly well behaved.

[bsturgeon89]

We've never discussed a time. What time would we like to get the party started?

[xsmi]

I will be 42 on the 13th of July and I will be there whenever you are ready.

[j allen]

I'll have the entire day of the 24th off. What time do you like? Also, how late is planned? Do I need the 25th off as well?

[bsturgeon89]

I say we start around 12-1. I'll have some finger food ready for lunch and then we can have dinner whenever we want.

There is no hurry to leave. I should have the house all to myself so we can play as loud and long as we want too. Depends on how fast we fatigue. If you want to crash, I have some space.

It goes without saying I'm sure, but bring whatever material you want. DVDs, BRs, SACDs.

[Ricardo]

I'd love to make it. A bit far north for me for a one day trip, but depending on what's going on that weekend I might get away with it.

Well depending on the drive, I can reserve a bed for you. I have plenty of floor space too so if anyone wants to bring an air mattress.........

[j allen]

Perhaps we could discuss what all we want to bring with us? I imagine we don't want to have two people show up with the same album, etc.

[Ricardo]

I'll let you know when we get closer to the date. Need to let the "boss" work on the agenda. If I can get away with spending the night, I'm in.

[bsturgeon89]

Music wise I have a little of everything. So it would be kind of hard to say what not to bring. Just bring whatever you feel like hauling. At the moment, I don't have any Rush, Metalica, Fleetwood Mac, Tom Petty, Van Halen, just to name some so if anyone has this stuff bring it.

I just recently started building a SACD collection and this is what I have so far. I can't remember all the titles so forgive me.

The Wallflowers
Marvin Gaye
Norah Jones
Eric Clapton
3 Doors Down-Away From the Sun
Police-Every Breathe You Take
Pink Floyd-DSOTM
1812 Overture
John Legend

and some others I can't remember at the moment.

Music DVDs....some DVD-A and some DTS

Eagles-Hell Freezes Over, Hotel California
.38 Special
Eddie Money
Blue Man Group
Jason Aldean

and probably a few more by the time the fest begins.

One thing I don't have at the moment is a sub. I doubt it will be here for the fest but you never know. I do have a Velodyne sms-1 so if anyone would like to bring a sub. That would be great.

Thats a good start for now.

:D

[j allen]

I loathe Metallica, so don't look for any of that from me. I only have a couple of SACDs, but I can bring

Dire Straights - Brothers in Arms (which has an absolutely great 5.1 mix, btw)
Living Stereo Series Rimsky Korsakov - Scheherazade/Stravinsky - Song of the Nightingale
(It's a 3 channel stereo mix, so a different take on the multichannel thing)

I'll leave the Tower of Power - Soul Vaccination SACD at home, unless someone really wants to hear it. The regular cd version honestly sounds better, though.

I've got a little baby psw-111 I can bring if we end desperate for a sub. If nothing else, it isn't a difficult one to move, being an 8 inch subwoofer.

Also, if anyone needs some inexpensive stuff from parts express, I can pick it up beforehand and take CoD. Let me know; I'm only 20-30 min North of them, depending on traffic. Money will probably be a bit tight, as I'll have get one of my vehicles conditioned for a 2-2 1/2 drive, so nothing huge, please.

I have the Brother In Arms SACD so you can leave it at home.

We most likely won't need a sub. With the Carvers and the 2.3tls altogether there are 8-12s and 2-15s. I just thought it would be nice to have a sub to get the really low end stuff and plus I'm alittle anxious to hear what a sub would sound like with it.

If you just want to hear 'a sub,' I'll be happy to bring mine. It only weighs about 20 lbs fully packed up. If you want to hear a good sub, I'll leave it at home. Either way.

Question: Would you like ls50's if I get done with the current phase of work on them by then? They really are a pretty little speaker, much nicer in person than in pictures, and, to my ears, sound fantastic.

Please feel free to bring whatever you feel like!!

Thats the whole point of this get together. To get the chance to possibly hear some different equipment if people want to bring it.

[NotaSuv]

Will try to see if I can plan to drop off your beast of a sub that day..meet a few folks and keep driving :)

Raisin Bran!

Captain crunch berries

[j allen]

Gasp! We can all bring cereal for breakfast after the pajama party! I'm all a-quiver with anticipation!

[bsturgeon89]

I think Kellogg just had a recall on some cereal. Not sure which ones

Snug as a bug in a rug......not

So can I get a preliminary head count and possible number of guests spending the night?

[j allen]

1. not overnight.

[bsturgeon89]

Ok Fellas,,,

We are just a little over a week out.

Can I get a count of the yes and maybes?

Thanks

[Ricardo]

I'll pass this time. The boss has planned something "more important" for the 24th.

Have fun!!!!!

[TNRabbit]

I don't think any lack of deep bass is going to be an issue with bsturgeon89s setup...

Have fun, Brock~

[bsturgeon89]

The get together is one week from tomorrow.

Hasn't been much activity.

Is anyone still up for this?

If so, shoot me a PM and I will send you my address.

Thanks
