    Matt has stated that he will not be signing anyones pectorals, **** or unmentionables. He admires the enthusiasm, but he must draw a line somewhere.

    Bring it Mac! Bring it!

    Hey man, bring a PR out of one of them as Jstas said. I did that last year and brought a gold metalic marker to sign it with. It is the coolest freakin thing in my house! One member brought a surround and it looked super cool with the gold signiture on it.

    Hey,
    How about a new "closed" sticky thread with just the vital information about the meeting without having to look through over a 100 posts? You know, agenda, hotel, event information in one easy consolidated post.

    I will be there! I have been reading this thread for the last half hour and I just can't pass it up. I would like to meet some of the great people who have helped me so much on this forum. See you all on Friday and Saturday. Maybe I will bring a PR from my 2.3s for Matt to autograph.

    Philip - You would be crazy not to take part in this event, get hot, get a screwdriver, and bring that PR.

    Everyone - Polk Audio doesn't open it's doors often folks, are you THAT busy?

    I'm swamped, period, absolutely swamped with work but I'm taking a couple days off to make sure this happens, and it moves without problems.

    If anything, take off ONE day and drive down for the HQ tour and Meet-N-Greet.

    I have 4 confirmed FLIGHTS from Polkies that are WAY out of town....if that's not commitment to this function, I don't know what is. I've personally flown and drivin' to two of these events, and I'm not rich.

    I had to sell my Matt Polk autographed pygmy goat in order to make the Texas shindig, and prostitute myself for the SC Polkfest. Don't tell me about sacrifice!

    There are some of you who will have the same spouse reaction of, "That's....."

    I didn't add anything in that because it will vary. My wife has ZERO, let me say ZERO interest in Audio and this hobby. She is opting for a Spa Weekend in Western Maryland, while we are doing our thing. That's great! It allows me to post bond, and get out of jail, just in time for her arrival. I'm kidding, but the point is that alot of personal and financial sacrifice goes into these gatherings, but I assure you it is worth your time.

    This will be my third Polkfest, and Polk Audio has been intimately involved since the day Russman suggested in TPGI. Let's make this one the blowout, and define what participation is all about.

    Get off your ****, sacrifice a day and/or weekend and experience something that NO other forum, let alone an actual manufacturer does for ANYONE! We do hapen to have a couple cities for your adventures, Baltimore and Washington, DC. It's is even family oriented.

    I will be posting, in a locked thread, local information and POC's for everything that I know by Sunday. I'm counting on Polk to drop some information in the same thread by COB Monday.

    PLEASE email me with any questions or comments, as I don't mind at all.

    Just to piggyback a little on what Mark said.....

    One, big thanks to doro for organizing all this. It's no small task putting these things together and by the looks of things this will be the Polkfest of all Polkfests.

    Also, it LOOKS like we will have a repeat performance, limited engagement, by Anna the Flexible. Those that witnessed this at SCPolkfest will tell you this is NOT to be missed.

    I'm looking fwd to a weekend sans pants!!

    Uh, yeah... I've been looking through the latest posts, and I still can't see a TIME for the HQ tour. Am I being blinded by the light that is Polk?

    The time will dictate whether I can do a daytrip down and back. :)
    Ludicrous gibs!
