I have it on the calendar. Looking forward to meeting everyone.
I'd send you a PM, but I somehow always end up posting vs. PM-ing.
Will you offer a "Polkie PMs for Dummies" class?

Due to lack of interest at this time, I have decided to postpone this event. It takes a significant amount of effort and planning to set this up right and make space to set up a few different rigs. So far only one person has committed to attending. My home remains open to anyone that wants to swing by, but for now, I will keep things on that open invite basis.
If anyone wants to put something together, my doors are open.

No lie there John. It's a weeklong event getting ready for a meet like that. I hate that it didn't work out. I've only had one dud of a meet and there were still half a dozen guys there. I'd love to see these meets pop back up across the nation again. It used to be rather commonplace, but it's fallen off greatly the last few years. Perhaps my memory doesn't serve me well and I have good ole boy syndrome though....
I'll keep your number. Have a recording studio visit upcoming in Encino so maybe I can tie in a quick drop in. There's a turntable and cartridge I'd like to listen to. And a turntable I may need to take off your hands (if/when available).

I'm sorry to see this GTG didn't generate more interest. They are a great way to put a face to the name and experience, in this case, some rather stellar gear. If I was even remotely close, I'd have been there.
