Has anyone heard from Drew? Last I read he was seen climbing into one of the Scaena gear travel cases.
The owner was great, and played some great music.
We stayed until past show closing listening to songs. He said he would normally have played music for us for another hour or two, if it wasnt for the snowy weather.
Now you see why my wife made that comment on those speakers last year! I was happy they remembered her and got a good laugh out of it.

Lol Brian! Now I completely get it! I'm so thankful that I got to spend over an hour in that sweet spot. Truly an incredible experience that has to be heard to be fully understood.
"Electronic music is human sound adapting to indulge technology, and for some, it feels like the signature sound of energy. New and abstract sounds over hypnotic rhythms can conjure vast soundscapes for escape, pleasure, and transcendence."

Look at Tesla
All you show attendees have a little homework once you’re back home and recovered. Write an essay describing your favorite room(s) and why....Just kidding. However, it would be an interesting read. I’d also like to see your opinions as to the equipment that provided very impressive sound for the money. Thanks for all the pics and opinions so far. It’s a shame about the Carver fiasco.

For me the room that stayed with me the most was the VAC and Von SW. room (see Drew's pic where he said "gorgeous paint job"
The realism of the sound in that room was completely intoxicating
Words do not describe it unfortunately - that was an experience I am glad to have had
As far as the others (non uber $$ rooms), really enjoyed the Bayz, LSA's and the Elac's - those mini active towers AJ built were slammin!
How'd you end up on everyone's dump on list? Maybe I'm a bad judge of character. I thought you were a pretty good guy. Except for driving a bucket truck to go bar hopping. Has that been a big hit with the chicks?

Uh, I'm going to have to go ahead and sorta disagree with you there, when you have a Russ you need a moderator.
... moderation complete.
Saying that it's "too hard" to pursue your dreams is no different than admitting to yourself that you are too lazy to achieve them.

I'd be smiling too if I was in a place with millions of dollars in stereo stuff all around me.
Is there a picture of anybody coming out of the Carver room?
Isn't Meijer a super store for groceries and home goods combined?
I'd have a bag of hundreds of sales flyers or those advertisement flyers to look over again at home. I use to collect them...

Good eye Tony! Yes I was lugging around a box of cigars for hours until we finally made it up to Skip’s room!
