NY/NJ get together...

[Serendipity]

:):)

[PolkWannabie]

Where might your place be ?

[Serendipity]

I'm in NY.

[Serendipity]

That's in Queens, BTW.

[Face]

I have a wedding and christening coming up, if it doesn't fall on either date, I should be able to make it.

[Serendipity]

It's definitely going to be on a Saturday or a Sunday.

[Serendipity]

Can anyone bring gear? We could set up a temp. 2-channel system in another room or a HT (I don't have a projector yet)...

[Lasareath]

I should be able to bring my OPPO 980H and maybe I will lug my SRS 2's over. it all depends how much sleep I have. the 2's are at my parent's house now in south Jersey, So i'll have to go pick them up and when I'm done I will have to bring them back because the WAF doesn't know that they exist yet ;)

[polrbehr]

I could possibly bring some gear to try out, too.

I am trying to do another meet at my house on May 30th (I was about to start a thread on that any day now), so as long as the days don't conflict with each other, I can be there.

BTW, if you can make it out here on the 30th, you're more than welcome.

Ditto for you too, Sal.

That's funny, I was thinking about the 31st, maybe we could do one after another? ;)

Actually the 24th would be better due to the fact that I start my Advanced Chem classes right after that... so I'm thinking something like the 24th or the 31st?

[Serendipity]

Oh BTW, what kind of gear do you have in mind?

I don't have a display right now nor a surround setup, so anything from speakers to sources to projectors would be great!!

Also, I don't have a ceiling either, as I'm still in the process of building my HT.

[polrbehr]

Either day is fine, just that the weekend of the 24th is Memorial Day weekend; may be some who are unable to attend because of that? Back-to-back works for me.

OK, I'm liking my new Adcom/Parasound setup a LOT, I can possibly bring that along to test out?
All of my other stuff is almost impossible to move around, though.

[Serendipity]

Sure, I'll keep that in mind. The 24th would be a great weekend though because I will be very busy starting June 1st.

If possible, we can set up another small 2-channel rig, as Sal might be bringing some speakers (not sure yet).

[Serendipity]

OK, I'm liking my new Adcom/Parasound setup a LOT, I can possibly bring that along to test out?

Sure, I'd love to hear how a good amp sounds like on my system (I don't even have an amp right now, only a receiver)

Do you have any sources that are easy to move around? Right now I only have the Onkyo CDP and a HTPC, and Sal said he might bring a few things, so maybe we could do a CDP shootout...

[Serendipity]

:):)

[polrbehr]

Ruh-roh.

Tell them the Adcom I want to bring is only 60wpc. That should ease their mind a little. ;)

Or, ask Sal to lug over his 1.2tl's... they will take one look, faint, and be out for at least two or three hours.

[Serendipity]

I remember Sal saying something like "it's not loud enough," and I told Sal, "You don't think this is loud? You should get your hearing checked!!"

[BaggedLancer]

This thread just made me roll on the floor laughing.....Thanks for brightening up my gloomy Friday.

PM me your parents phone number, I'll talk to them.

[polrbehr]

I don't think my dad was too happy about the levels that Sal was blasting his system at...

I remember Sal saying something like "it's not loud enough," and I told Sal, "You don't think this is loud? You should get your hearing checked!!"

You have to admit... that was a pretty cool demo though, wasn't it?? :D

[Serendipity]

You weren't there that time, when Sal had his amps turned up to clipping and his 1.2TLs' drivers were moving back and forth violently....

[polrbehr]

I stand by my last post.

[Serendipity]

You have to admit... that was a pretty cool demo though, wasn't it?? :D

No, my ears were ringing for a while...

Why would you want to listen that loud anyways? I'd be concerned about the 1.2TL's, the drivers were moving quite a lot... not necessarily a good thing.

[BaggedLancer]

Seriously, give me your parents number....I'll talk to them.

[Serendipity]

Why? Are you planning on coming?

[BaggedLancer]

I'm told I need to go to Harry's, depending on the number of people you can conjure maybe I will visit you.

[Serendipity]

Sorry, my place is small.

[Lasareath]

How about...no

You weren't there that time, when Sal had his amps turned up to clipping and his 1.2TLs' drivers were moving back and forth violently....

LOL, I cant find a bass brace anyplace, I'm sorry :(

[Lasareath]

Sorry, my place is small.

And my mom/dad really isn't okay with the idea. He said it might be okay with people we already met like Trey, Sal, Face, Harry, etc. but that's about it...

BOOO, send them away to a broadway show, don't tell them anybody is coming over ;)

[Serendipity]

No seriously, Sal, Mike, Kelley, Harry, and Trey should be able to come over, we should be able to work something out. I think my dad's more worried about someone new with like 6 posts joining in...

[Lasareath]

No seriously, Sal, Mike, Kelley, Harry, and Trey should be able to come over, we should be able to work something out. I think my dad's more worried about someone new with like 6 posts joining in...

I think you should post up top and state only members with 200 posts or more can attend.

[Serendipity]

I think you should post up top and state only members with 200 posts or more can attend.

Sure, I can see that.

[Lasareath]

Sure, I can see that.

But I think in order for this to pass with my mom/dad, I'll have to restrict this to you, Trey, Mike, Harry, and Kelley. Because anyone can post 200 posts in one day, just look at the FS threads started by people posting like 50 posts in a hour...

Now you are being paranoid. I'm sure nobody wants to go to your house that bad that they are going to post 350 posts in one day. LOL

If you intended to have a party with only those 6 people then you should never have created this post. you should have sent PM's to the 6 of us and said I'm having a gathering and the date is XX/XX/XX

Why have an open forum post if only 6 people can attend?

There's at least 5 other NJ/NY polkies I know that have over 350 posts that may want to attend, Are you going to tell them no?

[Serendipity]

:):)

[Serendipity]

[BaggedLancer]

I'm inviting everyone i know....as many people as I can fit in my g35 are who is coming with me. Wait till you see how much alcohol we bring.



keg party! I wanna see sal do a keg stand!

[Serendipity]

What's wrong with you?

[BaggedLancer]

What's wrong with you?

Face asks me that daily.....and it's the same answer. Nothing.

[Serendipity]

Seriously, I think it'd be okay if we just keep the volume down and be reasonable. That's all.

Sal, for those 5 members that you know, do you know them well?

[Lasareath]

Volume down?, Dont be a wussy!

This is a stereo gathering not a knitting party.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oYGqXAN8R-4

[Serendipity]

Volume down = reasonable levels

No clipping amps, drivers moving back and forth violently, subs pounding, etc...

[Serendipity]

Sorry, but I won't do this to my speakers:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MUsUsErVn7A

[Face]

It doesn't take much to move a 6.5" driver.

[Lasareath]

What speakers?

[Serendipity]

It doesn't take much to move a 6.5" driver.

Mine don't move much.

[Lasareath]

Maybe in 5 to 7 years when you have your place, then you can invite anybody you wish and turn it up as much as you want!

[Serendipity]

I've actually turned the Onkyo to max...it didn't get very loud.

Reason is, the 4-ohm impedance of the DefTechs causes the receiver to limit current, so it didn't get very loud. I think the Onkyo limits current at 52W*5, far from the 100*7 its rated at.

[Serendipity]

Maybe in 5 to 7 years when you have your place, then you can invite anybody you wish and turn it up as much as you want!

Sure, but if we want to do this, it's either keep things at a responsible level or we won't have it at all.

[Libertyc]

Can I come????

[Serendipity]

Can I come????

I'm not sure if this is going to happen, but I'll let you know.

[ESavinon]

Can i be invited? I can bring 2 soundtream amps. They only output 1000 wpc in bridged mode at 8ohms :cool:

[BaggedLancer]

Sorry Ed, this gathering is for close friends of appadv only who he knows well and can trust in his home with his parents. :rolleyes:

[Lasareath]

Ed is one of the 5 polkies I was talking about!, If he can't come then I'm not coming either! Biznatch!

[Serendipity]

:):)

[BaggedLancer]

I'll be there, Face is giving me the addy/directions.

[Serendipity]

Face doesn't know the addy/directions.

[BaggedLancer]

Face doesn't know the addy/directions.

Yes, but he will. He is on your VIP list.

[Serendipity]

I'll give him the directions to the nearest Starbucks ;)

[BaggedLancer]

How do I make it on the VIp list?

[Serendipity]

How do I make it on the VIp list?

Let my dad speak to your dad...haha ;)

[PolkWannabie]

Your dad ??? ... ROFLMAO ... Oh mommie ? ... Can I go to whos'its house with my other Polk pals ... and can you call up whos'its daddy and tell him I'll be good ? ... Pretty please with sugar on top !!!

[BaggedLancer]

Let my dad speak to your dad...haha ;)


Believe me, you don't want your dad to speak to my dad.......

[Serendipity]

Oh I forgot, you're no longer a teenager anymore.

[Serendipity]

Believe me, you don't want your dad to speak to my dad.......

Why not?

[BaggedLancer]

Why not?


Your dad will never be the same....and he wouldn't let you browse this forum anymore.

I recommend that you send out permission slips to all Polk members parents and have them get signed and notarized and returned to you prior to them coming to your event. Sounds like they are gonna need it.

Haha, that's hilarious!

I forget, you're not a teenager either :)

[Serendipity]

On a serious note, I don't have much room at my place...

[Serendipity]

I'm hoping to get a projector like this by the gathering though:

[NotaSuv]

just make sure the keg truck shows up AFTER your mom and dad have left the house :)

[NotaSuv]

oopppppssss I dont think I have enough posts to even reply.........


my bad.......




sorry

[Serendipity]

just make sure the keg truck shows up AFTER your mom and dad have left the house :)

That was hilarious!

[polrbehr]

So, I'd like to do a get together at my place sometime in late May or early June if possible. Just wondering if anyone is interested, either post here or PM me for details!

Edit: This is open to members with 350+ posts, sorry...


Wow, my replying in this very thread raised my post count just enough... whew! ;)

By the way, all this back and forth BS over who can and cannot come, and I still do not see a definite day and time yet :confused:.

[Face]

We'll need as many people there as possible so Harry and Sal can do Keg Stands. :D

[Lasareath]

We'll need as many people there as possible so Harry and Sal can do Keg Stands. :D

I'm gonna do belly flops on the dining room floor!

[ESavinon]

Ed,

You might have to speak with my parents first, is that okay?


I was j/c. I will be at work that day. I might just call in sick just to see sal do the belly flop.

[Lasareath]

I was j/c. I will be at work that day. I might just call in sick just to see sal do the belly flop.

I'll lube up my body with lard and then do the belly flop. we can make a youtue video of me doing the belly flop and Alex's mom having a coronary.

[Serendipity]

I was j/c. I will be at work that day. I might just call in sick just to see sal do the belly flop.

The 24th? Or the 31st?

[Serendipity]

I'd like to see if the 24th is a better date than the 31st...

[Serendipity]

Argh, I don't know if this is going to happen...

[polrbehr]

Well, you can always head out here on the 30th if you want, no parental issues here ;).

Just messin' with ya, appadv, don't take me seriously, OK?

And even though it's on a Friday, you should be able to take a class off once in a while; this is as good a reason as any to do so. IMHO.

Sal, any belly flops will need to be done in the pool, OK?:D (with any luck it will be open and full of water, too)

[Serendipity]

Are you being serious? Especially for a class in which a quiz/attendance is mandatory...

[Serendipity]

:):)

[Serendipity]

Harry,

I can try to make it to your place on the 30th.

[BaggedLancer]

I'm still going to Alex's on the 30th.

[Serendipity]

I'm still going to Alex's on the 30th.

Good luck finding out from Face.

Do you live close to a railroad station? I think I *might* be able to take the LIRR to your place from the Port Jefferson station...

[polrbehr]

Not trying to be a wiseass; the answer is yes... and no.

I am 3 min. from the Riverhead LIRR station. However, that does not help you at all if you are coming from Port Jeff (2 totally different branches :(). You would have to head west to Hicksville, IIRC, then take the Ronkonkoma branch out here. Not worth it, IMO; it would be cheaper and faster for you to take a cab. Maybe we can come up with something for you?

[Serendipity]

When you say 3 minutes from the station, is that by car? Or just walking?

I think I can make it.

[polrbehr]

Car.

But someone can easily get you from there to here, no problem.

[Serendipity]

How about taking the train from the Jamaica branch, would that be easier?

[Lasareath]

How about taking the train from the Jamaica branch, would that be easier?

Are you allowed to go by yourself Alex?, You're not taking your Daddy with you?, LOL

[Serendipity]

Well...

I used to work in Manhattan (3rd Avenue) and I don't have any issues with taking the train.

[Serendipity]

So, is it possible to go from the Jamaica station?

[polrbehr]

So, is it possible to go from the Jamaica station?

Seeing as how you can get anywhere the LIRR goes to from Jamaica, I'd say yes.

Just make sure you're on the Ronkonkoma branch, eastbound.

[Serendipity]

Seeing as how you can get anywhere the LIRR goes to from Jamaica, I'd say yes.

Thanks. So I guess you just take it past Mineola, to Hicksville, and then transfer to the Ronkonkoma branch??

P.S. I won't be bringing my dad :)

[Serendipity]

Was just wondering,

Do we have a set time for the 30th?

[polrbehr]

I will post details in a new thread ASA I get everything ironed out.
