    I sent all of the pics off to Micah yesterday. Paul was kind to post most of them. Some just didn't come out. Too dark.

    I don't recall anyone mentioning our discussion with Matt about the infamous "Lab Coat" pose with the old Polk literature. Let me give it a shot.

    He said he was posing for some marketing materials and magazine ads way back when. He was dressed in dress slacks and a nice shirt. The marketing people said "Here, put this white lab coat on and pose with the speakers." So he did and really didn't think much more about it until one day months later when he opens a magazine and sees himself with this hideous (as he called it) lab coat posing with the newest line of speakers.

    Yes, he said it was major embarrassment! He was like...oh man thats horrible!

    Too funny to say the least.

    Trey, hang tight man. I'll send some larger pics your way.

    No excuses!

    OK, OK that does it. I won't stand for this! Next time I see MX I'll just have to kick his ****. So what if he is sitting there quietly... There was a time when they first handed out these cardboard tubes with posters in them when I thought we would all start beating on him but it just didn't happen. I'm telling you, he is really a nice quiet respectful kid. Oh yea, on the lab coat, I too noticed that Matt seemed to have to explain the incident. I don't know why he hates that pic so much. I thought it was really cool! I got a real kick out of meeting him. You can tell he is an engineer at heart. Man, what a great day it was!

    Hi guys,sorry that I have not posted in a few days. I am so depressed that I could not make it up to be there with the rest of the gang for the meet at polk hq, it looks like all of you had one hell of a great time and it just kills me that I could not come....did you miss me? I have long dreamed of the day that I would get a chance to meet matt and the rest of the polk audio crew, but on monday my plans to be there where to be dashed when my wife took my oldest son who just turned 11 to his nuerosurgeon.

    He has been having massive headaches with vomiting for the past two weeks and the nuerosurgeon found that his v.p.shunt was malfunctioning and made arrangments for him to have surgery the next day on tuesday, it is a risky surgery as part of the shunt has a catheder that extends through the brain and into his ventricals and is attached to a small valve that relieves the pressure on his brain,not to mention I was a nervous wreck while he was in there. On wendsday we where headed back home with him so there was no way for me to come. I wanted to post something before we left to go down but there just wasn't time for me to do so.

    I'm am content though that I was there with him as he is one of dads little buddys, I will report that he his doing great and feeling much better since his surgery on tues and he is not acting so larthargic like he was before the shunt was replaced. I hope that if I ever get up that way that I can take the grand tour if the guys at polk will let me in...hint hint.
    I will concur with the others that it is great to be able to put a face with a name cause it just drives me nuts trying to imagine what somebody looks like that you have not met face to face with before, just wish mine could have been in there too.


    Cheers you guys,
    Mike

    Hotwheelman,
    Glad your son is feeling better, and hope you and your wife are holding up as well. I've said it before, there are a lot more important things in life than speakers and cd's!

    I look at that picture and think of the Terminator...."Your clothes... give them to me."

    Brett is walking over to the shopping cart of little children for a snack. ;)
    CTC BBQ Amplifier, Sonic Frontiers Line3 Pre-Amplifier and Wadia 581 SACD player. Speakers? Always changing but for now, Mission Argonauts I picked up for $50 bucks, mint.
