in The Clubhouse
Polkfest 2014 was held in Magnolia, NJ at the home of John Stasny, South Jersey's Most Eligible Bachelor. An intimate, yet knowledgeable group was basically waited on hand and foot for a day and a half. Attendees included Big Lou (Ohskigod), Bill (Liberty C.), Sal (Lasareath), Devan1 (Devan), Mike (Big Dawg), Phil (Piersall01), myself, John's mom, and some of his friends/neighbors including SEVERAL debutantes. Polk was represented by Mark Susskind who is an absolute scream, and brilliant. I like when he smiles, because then you know you got to him. He demoed the TOTL bookshelfs from the LsiM line, and some other new wireless products. Wait until you get a load of the 75wpc @ 8/150wpc @4 integrated amp, which features three inputs INCLUDING "Phono" cause it has a built-in phono pre aboard. Want the sound of vinyl in all your house zones? This is going to let you do it.

An awful lot of laughs, everyone who attended had a great time.

John, thanks a million for really busting your **** in order to ensure your guests were comfortable, and WELL FED. A fantastic job!

    I couldn't agree with Mr. Grand more! John is a great host and also a damn good cook! No, I wasn't there this time, and I do regret that, but things beyond my control kept me home while my wife had to leave for Tonyb land!

    We really must do something about that Bachelor status, John. May be time to break out the old "matchmaking" hat!

    Can't wait to see pics! Pork! One of my favorites! DXXM!
