[janmike]

Sal, that food almost makes me want to book a flight. Have a good time folks.

Yeah it's good stuff, old-school italian family, we use them all the time for catering our events.

Alex, just take the train, it's so easy from NYC, get to WTC and get on the path to Journal Square, I'm 4 blocks away.

Let me know,

Sal

[george daniel]

Thanks, but I will be going by car due to safety reasons. And I might bring some gear too!

My dad will be coming, is that okay?

[F1nut]

Put me down as possible.

George, I intend to play the whole album ;)

16oz Red Dixie cup of Zombie coming right up!




Thanks, but I will be going by car due to safety reasons. And I might bring some gear too!

My dad will be coming, is that okay?


Saftey?, Are you one of those people who lives in NYC but is scared to take the subway?

Your Dad can come, How old is he?, Will he tell us to turn it down?



Put me down as possible.


Cool, Cool!, I'll put you down "as possible" Jesse.

[lightman1]

Can I get to Jersey City from here?

[Lasareath]

Can I get to Jersey City from here?

ummmmm What?

[lightman1]

From NC silly!

[Lasareath]

From NC silly!

I guess there must be some roads you can take, Maybe I-95?

Are there airports in NC?

[lightman1]

Are there airports in NC?

One. And it only has an old crop-duster bi-plane.

[lightman1]

How close are you to Newark or laGuardia

[Serendipity]

Saftey?, Are you one of those people who lives in NYC but is scared to take the subway?

Your Dad can come, How old is he?, Will he tell us to turn it down?


Haha, I take the subway all the time. A few years ago I worked in Manhattan and I always took the subway/bus/public transportation.

It's more about being able to bring gear AND be able to get back safely.

My dad - 1) I don't know. 2) I don't know.

[Lasareath]

How close are you to Newark or laGuardia

Newark airport is 12 mins by car to my house, there are many hotels in my area as well.

[Lasareath]

You don't know how old your dad is?

What kind of gear do you intend on bringing?

If it's source components then great!, SACD players and CD players are cool, I have no desire to unhook my 1.2's and plug any other speakers in. Unless you have a pair of fully modified 2.3tl's, these are the only speakers I want to hear.

Sal

Most likely source components. My Definitives are way too big to bring anywhere, so I'd most likely bring a DVD-A player, CDP, or HTPC.

[Lasareath]

I have a HTPC hooked up to my system, optical sound and component video out to my projector.

Which Players were you thinking of?

I have a Sony ES single disc player for redbook cd's and an OPPO 980H

[ESavinon]

I work on the 6th :( otherwise i'd be the first one there :D.

[polrbehr]

Put me down as a definite possible, too (also work on the 6th, but who knows, I may
get a case of gottacallsickitis)
SAl, you got PM.

[Serendipity]

I was thinking of:

HTPC: HP Digital Entertainment Center z560
CDP: Onkyo DV-CP500
DVD-A: Panasonic DMR-E95HS

[m00npie]

Hey Sal, anyone else coming?

[Serendipity]

Sal,

Can you PM me your address?

Thanks!

[hearingimpared]

Dude, unless a miracle occurs and I get rid of this flu the only thing I'm going to be visiting Saturday is the bathroom!:(

[Lasareath]

[m00npie]

I haven't had the flu in over 30 years. .. it is a bear man. Every part of ones body is affected . . .see even my brain, I was thinking Sunday and typed Saturday.

[Lasareath]

Joe, I will be praying for you!

I ordered the food and a full tray of Tiramisu.

I will PM everyone my address right now.

Sal

[Serendipity]

I will see you on Sunday!

Joe, hope you feel better.

[disneyjoe7]

Enjoy it all guys Sal you rock in my book.

Joe hope you feel better I got to say that flu bug this year sucks. 4 days down myself glad it's over, and I also don't get sick often but that one got me too. :)

[reeltrouble1]

I plan on making you sick soon DJ.

RT1

[Serendipity]

Two days left!

[Fireman32]

Have a good time. Wish I could be there

[disneyjoe7]

I plan on making you sick soon DJ.

RT1

I'm looking forward to it.... In a sick twisted way ;)

[Lasareath]

Ok Guys,

I could not find the 1st dvd from LOTR Return of the King so I went out today and bought another copy. I like to watch the 1st 10 minutes on my system. It's really loud and cool.

I have the Polk Fest 2007 DVD that I got from disneyjoe7 and that was played on Ted's system in GA. The DVD is pretty wild.

Those are the only DVD's I will force on you. The rest can be whatever anybody else brings and any CD's that people bring.

If people are intrested I will turn on my MAME controller and we can play some centipede, Zoo Keeper & Ms. Pacman @ 93"

Sal

[Lasareath]

Any of you guys that are coming over have (2) spare RD0194-1's?, If you do then bring them over and I will pay you for them. I might be getting a pair of monitor 10's and it'll be cool to hear them with the stock sl2000's and then rdo's.

Sal

[Serendipity]

Sal - so is it okay if I bring the three items I mentioned?

Looks like it will be a CDP, DVD-A player, and HTPC...

Hey, don't forget your Dad....

[Serendipity]

Hey, don't forget your Dad....

Yes, my dad is coming :)

[BaggedLancer]

Ought oh, you Polkies better be on your best behavior with a parent figure around. Keep the drugs to a minimum, just the essentials.hand on the volume knob, and be sure to use your alias versus your real name.

[reeltrouble1]

Yes, my dad is coming :)

cool, send your Mom this way.

You guys have fun.

RT1

[cfrizz]

ROTFLMAO!!! Ted you are incorrigible!

I hope you all have a great time.

Joe I hope you feel better soon.

[hearingimpared]

Thanks for the good wishes!

I can come up and infect everyone! mUUUUUUUUhhhuuuuuuuhhhhhaaaaa!!!

Day three and I feel worse than ever!

[F1nut]

Since Joe was going to do the driving after I got to his house AND the fact that he's sick AND I don't want any part of it, I regretfully will not be attending. Next time guys.

[Lasareath]

Alex, Bring the gear!

two of my friends who are cops are coming over, the tennant downstairs hates my guts and I'm sure that after 5 hours of my system they will call the cops. So my friend will answer the door, LOL

Sal

[hearingimpared]

Sorry Sal, next time.

[treitz3]

Maybe we can hear the Raysonic at the mini-fest in Charlotte in March then?

[Lasareath]

Sorry Sal, next time.

It's OK Joe, I know how you feeling, I felt that way new years eve. I didnt even see the ball drop. I went to bed at 10:30pm.

I was thinking about doing this again in the spring as well.

[Serendipity]

Looks like I won't be bringing my DVD-A player, as it needs to be hooked up to a display in order to do anything, and that is currently set to 480p/component. So when connected to another display you can't see the OSD (at first) unless you take it out of progressive mode blindly in the menu.

[Lasareath]

Alex, I have component there all ready and my projector is auto-sizing, no problem.

Parents, cops, what's next? Hopefully there isn't a warrant check at the door. :D

See you in a hour!

[lightman1]

Turn it up so I can hear it down here! Have fun today.
Wish I was there.
Joe's a wuss.:D

[cfrizz]

Hey Joe, go breathe, sneeze & cough on Lightman a few times.:eek::p:D

Joe's a wuss.:D

[lightman1]

Dang Frizz! He's probably got some stank breath that'll take me out.

[danger boy]

so is this shindig underway or what? someone take some pics... thanks

[cfrizz]

:D The stank will be gone in seconds. However, the germs left behind will enter YOU & then you will have complete understanding as to how he feels.

Will you call yourself a wuss then?:D


Dang Frizz! He's probably got some stank breath that'll take me out.

[lightman1]

I probably had the same thing over Christmas. It kicked my a**!
Open present..HACK HACK WHEEZE!!

[Face]

Sal,
Thanks again for hosting! It was very cool to finally see and hear the "holy grail" of SDA's!

[polrbehr]

Sal-
Just made it home myself; not bad at all (the ride, that is!).
It was great meeting you all, and finally getting to hear some SDAs made the trip even more worthwhile. You 've got a sweet rig there, for sure.

Thanks for opening up your home to all of us, and for putting out such a nice spread. If we ever do anything out on this end of the Island, I hope you can return the honor of a visit.
Thanks again for the great day, reaffirming my belief that this Forum, and its people, is the best.

Thank you Everyone for showing up and not eating any desert. I have a 14" Apple pie, a whole sheet of tiramisu and some pastries that Alex brought.

We just talked so much and listened so much that I never even picked up a camera. Glenn was here last and I said Damn I didnt take a group shot. I guess we'll just have to do it again very soon ;)
