POLKFEST 2013? Let's get this party started. F the losers on the top end and I'll work on getting some **** started on my end as well, even if it kills me. We have and always will have, tremendous support from inside, don't fret and get your clean underwear ready.....hell I don't even know what I'm talking about aside from instinct and phone conversations.

I love you guys.....and if my story was at all interesting, I'd type it but it isn't. xoxo I'll get back to speed and up to par soon Family.

*For the new folks....I used to work here, live here and recruit folks for my pagan Polk religion of worshipping trees to make more loudspeakers.

Great work it appears from the bar standard KEN and JON, the still newbie until we find him face down at a Polkfest in his own vomit like many before him.

Yeah it's different.....yeah it changes.....let's try in some way to get back to the roots again.

Glad to see some familiar faces.....emoticons? or absence of avatars as usual....some things never change. It's time to get busy folks.

*If there is anything I forgot to do prior to "leaving" here, please let me know and I'll handle it offline. I know a couple things that I need to take care of as I ponder, CANADA specifically....yeah I remember brother....aside from that, just drop me a line.

The feedback issue will take a week or so and I'll get with Ken on that. Thx for caring guys and watching out for your fellow Polkies.

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.

    Taken from a recent Audioholics reply regarding "Club Polk" and Polk speakers:
    "I'm yet to hear a Polk speaker that merits more than a sentence and 60 seconds discussion." :\
    My response is: If you need 60 seconds to respond in one sentence, you probably should't be evaluating Polk speakers.....

    Good to see you alive and kicking. So where's the pics of the car and the updates you've done? Waiting on you to sell another pair of A9's for crazy $ so I can drive thru DC to get em. My Polk Audio t-shirt is faded and I need a new one in green or rust color for Polk Fest. (sz L) Screw Canada who going to fix the damn Polk showcase here in 'merica?!!? jk lol to our Canadian buddies. Just cause you don't collect a check every 2 wks doesn't mean you can't be here clogging cyberspace occasionally. OK I'm done for now.

    Canada has needed to be taken care of for a long time. Glad to see you take the lead; let us know what armaments, if any, you need and when you plan to invade.

    In the mean time, glad to have your presence back here.

    Welcome home, Mark, it's been a long time (for you, and several others whose names escape me at the moment).

    At the risk of sounding all warm and fuzzy, the place just hasn't been the same for quite some time, here's to hoping
    things return to "normal" soon... :biggrin:
    So, are you willing to put forth a little effort or are you happy sitting in your skeptical poo pile?
