    Heh. I guess I suck then. Picking up a friend at 9 am, leaving his house shortly after that. Should put us in Polk HQ parking lot right around 11-11:30 AM. Then driving home same night, will be home by 9 pm probably unless festivities go a bit longer.

    Jstas- yeah, I'm driving back the same night too. Seems like we have just about the same travel time, except that I'm leaving earlier because I don't want to miss out on the tour! Hopefully I won't get home too late... I hate driving when I'm tired.

    I went to the last one they had. They took us through every freakin process they do from inception to final product. It was awesome! We got to hear the SRT's in one of their hidden rooms too. Cool place. They even had some of the big SDA's sitting along the hallways. Oh, and of course Matt Polks rare professional cappachino machines... I guess the best part was a nice long question/answer session with the man himself.

    Camera is charged and ready to go, and I have a 512mb and a 256mb card, which should be good for about 223 pictures :D

    I'll probably get myself kicked out of my tour group, from flashing pics all the time....

    :( :mad: :( :mad: :( :mad: . Damn September weddings that I have to be in. I mean I'm just going to stand there and smile. Go to the reception and smile some more, make a stupid speech. What's the big deal, I guess my cousin just wouldn't understand if I told her PolkFest was more important than her wedding. I mean chances are she'll have another one...nobody marries just once these days. But when will I have a chance to meet Matt and see some of you guys again. Oh well the cards have been dealt....now it's time to make a winning hand. :)

    Picked a 1gb SD card, am bringing 2 digtals, ans maybe even a camcorder.

    Had to walk over to the speakers to see what was up, and I'm sad to say that it looks as though Fry's is really trimming down the Polk line up and going into the JBL/INFINITY biz :mad: . Anyways, I picked up a Tannoy TS10 sub.
    I'll post some pics in a little while. It's a kickass little sealed 10" with a 300 watt BASH amp. Check this out http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/TS10/

    I got it as a display(last one) for $159 plus tax. Whoa, it just started pouring here.

    I'm bringing it with me to PFest, so if anyone thinks they might have a use for it, we'll demo it at Mark's. I would have to think it will be very musical.
