Another DFW meeting

[DSkip]

Alright. I'm finally planning on hosting a get-together for us TX guys. I live about 10 miles East of the North I-35E and I-35W split in Denton. Any and all Polkies who want to come are welcome (as well as any gear you want to show off). I'd love to get my ears on some amps since that's probably my next big upgrade in the system.


Date: Oct. 1st (can be moved if there's too much conflict)
Time: Early afternoon
BYOB


I've got a 14 month old son, so the earlier we start, the better it is. Everyone is welcome as long as they want, but we might have to watch the volume knob after dark. I'll throw some burgers on the grill for a late lunch and plan for enough to munch on through the day. Donations and/or food items brought would be greatly appreciated.

As for 2 channel gear, right now I have Peerless M10's, Peerless RTA12's, LSi7's, a Marantz 2216, and a Sansui 1000. I have a 14x12 room that can be demo'd in as well as a larger loft/downstairs living room that can be used as well.

[thsmith]

Sounds good.

[halenhoang]

Hey Mister.

This sounds great. I do not have much of anything to bring except myself. I would like to pitch in for this get together. Burgers, Steaks, Wings, Beer, Crown 16, Diapers, you name it. You still have my number?

Halen

[RuSsMaN]

Ha. Is your wife gonna be there? I'l bring some hifi.

[DSkip]

Halen, I'm pretty sure I don't. My phone broke and I lost a lot of numbers. Nice idea on diapers but not the idea lol. I'm just trying to minimize the food expense on my end.

Russ, I have no idea. Is there a reason she should be?

[RuSsMaN]

Everyone bring your drink and ten bucks, simple, we can order up some pies.

Skipper, I just want to meet the woman that can actually tolerate you, she must be a saint. I've never met a real saint, other than George's and Troy's wives.

[txcoastal1]

Diapers-----LMAO----Halen you cracked me up

Skip Halen was following your lead-----:biggrin::biggrin::biggrin:

[quadzilla]

Sounds cool. I'll be there, assuming work doesn't get in the way.

[AsSiMiLaTeD]

I should be able to make it, and will try to bring the Rainmaker setup so that you guys can hear them on some decent gear.

Look forward to hearing those. Someone make sure Marvin and Jim catch wind. I'll shoot them PM's, but I don't have anyone's numbers anymore. We need some new blood too...

[JimAckley]

As long as there's a TV with the OU game on somewhere, I'll be happy, and even if there isn't, I'll get by. See you then.

[DSkip]

Add some LS70's to the list. They aint pretty, but you can get your ears on 'em.

[JimAckley]

Did you get the set off CL?

[DSkip]

Yes. They needed some TLC. I've given them some so far, but still quite a bit needed.

[JimAckley]

Nice. If you need a hand, gimme a shout

[halenhoang]

Skiip,

Just to confirm. October 1 right?

Halen

[DSkip]

10/1 starting at noon or later. I really don't care when you show up as long as it isn't before noon.

[Gadabout]

Going to try and make it. Will depend a bit on work, but right it looks clear.

I can bring the easy-as-PI speakers. I also think I have a couple amps that aren't hooked up that I can bring.

Scott

[RuSsMaN]

If you bring those, can I have them back?

[halenhoang]

Russ,

I am bringing something for you!

Halen

[KrazyMofo24]

I'm planning on making it. I'll bring my Vienna Acoustics Haydn's, Cambridge Azure 640A amp, and DacMagic.

[DSkip]

I'll shoot everyone who might come a PM with my address on Sunday.

[PSOVLSK]

Looks like I'll be able to make it late afternoon depending on when/if the Rangers are playing. I have tickets to the game that could be Saturday depending on if they have home field for the first round or not.

[marvda1]

think i can make it , will bring yaqin mc 20l tube integrated amp

[Gadabout]

If you bring those, can I have them back?

I got the easy as Pi's from SucksToBeMe. He might have gotten them from you, I can't remember what he told me ... or were you talking about the Audes?

Scott

[RuSsMaN]

I had them built a long time ago by a freind of mine. You are the fourth local guy to have them. Pffft I know I will never get the Audes back. THAT is one I should not have sold. ;)

[DSkip]

Glad to hear! As much as you've hosted me, its about time you come over to my casa. We all know you'll be here with beer in hand and a sh*tty grin on your face. :afro

[marvda1]

and as always, something for sale:biggrin:

[DSkip]

and as always, something for sale:biggrin:

Of course.





So, got a few ideas for food and you guys can let me know what you think:

1. Chicken Fajitas w/ fixings, chips and salsa to munch.
2. Burgers w/ fixings, chips, maybe some dips to go along.
3. Order some pizzas and be done.

#2 and 3 would probably include a pizza dip my wife makes that wouldn't make it through the night. I don't mind grilling, especially if the weather is nice like it has been.

[JimAckley]

What's for sale this time Marv? :biggrin:

Whatever is works best for you and the wife, I'm good with. Just let me know if you want us to bring anything besides our beverages. If you want to do the shopping, I'll be happy to contribute when I get there.

Looks like I should be able to attend. No way I'm going to work this weekend.

Scott

[RuSsMaN]

Do we bring our own toilet paper? Ima drop BOMBS.

[DSkip]

I'm sure I can scrounge up a few sheets of sandpaper for you.

[scottfox]

:frown: Bummer, 10/1 is the Woodstock tribute show in Ft Worth. Sunday would be better, but I am obviously too late to this party.

[PSOVLSK]

I'll be at my son's baseball game from 11:30-1:30 and then on to The Ballpark for Rangers/Rays. One of these days I'm going to make it one of these get togethers. Very cool of you (and especially your wife) to host Skip. You guys have fun.

[DSkip]

Enjoy the game Paul. I'd be lying if I said I'd rather be hosting the party than going to the Ballpark, but I'll have the game on. If I had actually thought about it, I probably would've done it last weekend so I could watch it.

My dad watched the Giants win it all last year. I'm hoping he gets to see the Rangers win it this year.

[KrazyMofo24]

I just found out my dad got tickets for the Rangers game on Saturday, and he wants to tailgate. I won't be able to make it, I was looking forward to meeting some more members of the forum, and listening to some different gear. Next time I will try to make it.

[wallstreet]

Y'all have a good time. I'm booked this weekend.

[RuSsMaN]

Loosers and excuses. Can't wait skipper.

[quadzilla]

Where you losers at? Party's already started.

[Gadabout]

Headed over there now. Going to bring the TVC in case anyone wants to see / hear one.

Should be there in about 90 minutes or so (depends on traffic and construction).

Scott

[quadzilla]

Sorry I couldn't stay longer, but I had fun while I was there. It was great seeing some guys I haven't seen for awhile and meeting a couple of new people.

[thsmith]

+1 Rob. Excellent way to spend a sat afternoon.

Thank you Skip for opening your home. That Sui is sweet.

[DSkip]

Glad y'all had fun. Now someone needs to come over and finish off the beer left over in my fridge.

[Gadabout]

Thanks for hosting this Skip. It was a great way to spend a Saturday afternoon. Good to see some old folks and meet the ones that were new to me.

Scott

PS Give me a call. Your welcome to come over and use some wood tools or just drop by for listen anytime.

[RuSsMaN]

Skipper, let's hit up Scott soon for a smash and grab. Thanks again for hosting, we need to make this a regular thing. Your wife? What a dame, I mean that. Your son? A miracle that he looks like you, but doesn't whine at all like you do. Great family, great house, lets focus on getting some hi in your fi broham now that you've settled in.

[halenhoang]

Skip,

Thanks again for opening up your place. I enjoyed hanging out with the guys even though I had to leave a little early.

Halen

[JimAckley]

I'll be right over to help you with that beer :biggrin:

Thanks for having us over. I had an awesome time!

[marvda1]

sorry i could'nt make it fellows, you know what happens when "honey do's" get thrown your way.
