    Hey, this sounds great.... even though i am fairly knew to this forum i think it would be really cool to put some faces to these user names as i plan to be here awhile.

    That is of course if all you crazy nuts will have me :)

    Sid, sorry you can't make it. I plan on taking lots of pictures.. you know.. for revenge to be used at a later date. :D

    Plus i'm a photographer.. that's what i do for a living.. so expect lots of pictures. ;)

    Somthing I proposed for the other gathering was a web cam to be set up so that all the Polkies could watch the happening at Doro's place. I don't know how well that would go over though. :eek:

    Danger Boy,

    You're right The "Russ Sammich" wouldn't raise an Eyebrow. But then again Doro in his "Spandex Combat Boots" would. ;)

    I have just confirmed that Frank Dai, www.signalcable.com will be attending one or both days of Polkfest. Frank has stood by this forum for a very long time, and I personally can't wait to meet him in person. He runs without a doubt a real grassroots business, and the fit here in our forum is perfect.

    ALSO, Paul Lemanski from www.adonacorporation.com will be in the same capacity to meet and greet the forum. The custom fabrication he does on audio racks is simply phenom, don't miss this period. Paul will have a couple goodies on display at my house beings we need something to hold all this gear :) There is a special treat for us Polk Nerds, but I'm keeping that secret.

    I am still working on alot of other stuff, so bear with me, be patient, but BUY YOUR TICKETS NOW!. The date is FIRM, no changes will occur, and the show will go on regardless of any act of God or our secret leader, Matt Polk. ;)

    Al, Stu, Paul and some other, yet to be named, Polk Audio heavyweights will be dropping by on both days to enjoy the demos and check out some stuff that THEY might not have heard....Imagine that!

    We will sorely miss the hardcore CA crew since they will be at NOPI, but there are some other things in the works for you car audio ppl. They have stated that there will be autographed glamour shots of them available for purchase, so bring a couple bucks....support the forum ;)

    Pass this along, thanks for reading.

    Get real, get involved, get happy....this is a rare opportunity.

    I'm personally looking forward to a little more serious music / gear / education related side to this gathering, vs the 'blow the doors off' stuff we've done in Texas and SC.

    Mark, you rock.

    Update: Polk is going to post some information in the next day or so about lodging and other particulars. I will add my information afterwards so that you will have a fairly large selection of stuff to choose from.

    The plan so far is for a picnic on Friday coupled with a open-house tour of the HQ facility. If we can get "The Kluge" to play for us that would be most excellent. They are the resident musicians up there in Polkland.

    We will have a couple things in the pipeline for Friday night, although I will be heading back home to set up for Saturday.

    Keep this at the top of your lists folks, don't miss it.

    Robbie & Suzanne, Mac, Al, Steve, Dave, Cathy, Anthony, Troy, Russ and a host of others that I'm unsure of your real names :) thanks for responding and I look forward to meeting you or meeting you again.

    Mark,

    About how many of the fairer sex will be attending? My wife doesn't want to be the only gal there and if there are five or six, I might be able to talk her into coming on Friday.

    Or perhaps have a seperate gathering to the aquarium for the "non-interested" family members that got drug along... I'd work that if anyone else thought it was a good idea, otherwise I'll leave it alone.

    Hey DB, I might end up working in Mecca for two weeks at the end of July. I sure hope not... Last group that got sent that way (Yemen and SA) had an armed marine escort everywhere they went. Not cool.

    James - I know 3 females off the top of my head that will be attending, so she won't be out of place. The group will be cool, no problems, just tell her to come.

    CFrizz said she's going to keep us all in check so have no worries.

    Hi folks! You don't know me yet but you may soon. I'm a old timer here a polk and I'm going to try to put some information here on the forum about a local hotel and rates for you. When our sales guys come in they stay at a local Hilton that is very convenient to HQ. I've spoken to them about getting you our corporate rate. I will also find out if they have any kind of a service to get guests to our Metro for easy access to downtown for those uninterested spouces! Should have the scoop in the next day or so and I will post it right away..............Hedy

    Cool, I'll try. Also, my list of items to bring:

    LSi7's
    The Analog Design tube CDP
    Some good home-made speaker cables
    Adcom SLC Passive Pre
    Counterpoint Amp
    Carver A500x

    and hopefully Russ will have the Knight mono blocks out by then. :D

    That would certainly be convenient, but ppl need to stay where they feel comfortable. That includes high end lodging(Downtown)and of course simply proximity to the airport to get the F outta here after it's over....folks have lives you know. Unlike the Polk zombies that live close and wander onto the grounds at night to replicate.

    Create the Polkfest, and they will come, hell or high water :)

    Hedy will drop the bomb on you, so I don't expect many non-harbor individuals.
