I’ve heard an email has gone around saying it is with sadness and anticipation for the future that Rocky Mountain Audio Fest as we have all known it will be no more. Anybody know anything about this?

    What a chickenshit reason.

    BIG BUMMER!! I really enjoyed my one time I attended. Meeting @Toolfan66, @stainless0steel2. @SCompRacer and @schwarcw was the best part of the show. Larry, Brian, Rich, Carl and I all had great time. Meeting Sandy Gross and having a very good conversation about all kinds of stuff the guy is a stand up legend in the audio community. It was also my first time to meet Derek Skipworth and his Audio Thesis room and gear. Once again great time had by all.

    Sad and Disappointed

    "We're off to new adventures !"

    Wow, that sounds exciting and dangerous !

    I wonder if that involves having a helping of tapioca puddin' while wearing safety mittens and industrial goggles ?
    ....while hunkered behind the couch just to be on the safe side. 🐑🐈

    Dang...that sucks. Larry was the one who introduced me to RMAF. It was always a good time there.
    Well it was fun while it lasted.

    How would an unvaccinated person stop you from attending if you're vaccinated and wearing a mask ?

    I can understand if you can't show then there is no go, including attendee's

    CEDIA 2021 in Indy was a bust. Many corps/vendors have limited travel. Add the limited attendee's not traveling makes it a shat show.
