Hotwheelman had expressed a desire to do this. I know we also have Shack and Macleod in this area. I think it would be awesome for us Volunteers to meetup and have our own mini PolkFest

    I'd do my best to make it to Tennersee. It would be nice to be back home and meet Shack, Hotwheelman, Ledhed, and the rest of the boys. Keep me posted on when and where because i will have to make arrangements with work.

    Sounds like a plan...

    Indy to Koxville isn't that bad Noel. I've made the trip every sping for the past 3 years.

    I am game fellas, I will say that I would love to play host but the neighborhood that we live in might not be to tolerable to the event, plus the house is tore up right know with some ongoing projects that have things in a bit of a mess right now.

    Lets figure out a place to get this done and set a date.

    I live in an apartment which would make for a lousy demo room......especially since I have nothing to demo! :(

    Well.....I have the room. My den is 29' by 23'. I have my HT rig and another in there right now and there is plenty of room for more. I have an assortment of Polk speakers, some Advents and ARs. Various pieces of gear, Denon, NAD, Dodd, Cambridge Audio, Sony and so forth. Got tubes and a TT. It would have to be a Sat. affair. 10:00AM/Noon till whenever. I have no idea what my schedule is but if there are some dates everyone is interested in I could find out. I could furnish some food...if you want beer or whatever...it's BYOB. If this could work for some of you..lets talk. It's not a done deal...but I think I could pull it together.

    I would love to hear some SDA's!!

    Saturday is the best day for me too. Im off every weekend so I wont have to lose a days pay.

    And I think if youre putting up the hospitality and inviting us into your home, I think its the least we can do and pitch in and bring the food and other refreshments.

    For those that might have an interest if this comes together, the travel times from various places to NE Knoxville (where I live) are as follows.

    Chattanooga - 2 hours or less (I've made it to Warner Park in 1:30 but I was haulin")

    Kingsport/Bristol/Johnson City TN - 2 hours or less (1:45 to ETSU campus in JC - daughter was student there)

    Asheville - Less than 2 hours

    Nashville - Less than 3 hours to the east end (airport/Opryland hotel)

    Huntsville, AL - 3 hours or less

    Atlanta, Charlotte, Cincinnati, Roanoke, Birmingham - 4 hours more or less

    All these times are VERY accurate as I have traveled to all of them on several occasions over the last few years.

    I have actually made it in less times to most of these towns, but that is cruising around 80+.

    Hell yes, Saturdays are of course great for me seeing as how I am a Highschool student. I have been dying to meet some of you guys and hearing and trying new things. Just wondering, what gear could you guys bring to demo? I can bring my RT5s, my SX-1280 rec. and an old, crappy CD player. Along with some new tastes in music and possibly the TT

    If I know in plenty of time, I could make it down for a Saturday shindig, as I get 1 Saturday a month off.

    I'm thinking about Nov. 19th or possibly the 26th (Sat. after Thanksgiving). What do you guys interested in coming think about these dates?

    Should work for me although Im not 100% sure Ill be free the weekend after T-giving. The 19th might be a better day and have a better chance of nobody being out of town that weekend. Just a thought.
