    Halo-

    You can count me out of that count.:)

    So, we have roughly 8 people so far not including spouses if they plan on coming? I'm sure they'll hang out on the deck most of the time anyway?;)

    Halo, human was only one of the qualifications. Come to think of it, I don't know if you should count me either... :p

    Add Opus to your list. I will drag him there tied to the bumper if needed.

    Let me clarify myself too...

    This "gathering" doesn't have to be a one day thing. If people are interested in having this the whole weekend, that's fine. I know there will probably be a TON of gear to be seen and heard. So, let's plan on this to take place on early Friday and end late on a Sunday? Any longer than that and my Wife will start kicking people out!:p

    Head count @ 9:

    5. heiney9
    6. F1nut
    7. Polk65
    8. McLoki
    9. opus

    OK, now all we need is a firm date to start making plans.

    I could probably be there sometime Friday afternoon/evening, and could stay all Saturday leaving Sunday morning. No wife to count on my side....someone needs to keep things under control at home:)
    Gear? At the rate I am swapping things, who knows what I will have a few months down the road...but if nothing changes I could bring the AES AE-3 DJH preamp, BADA HD tube player, the little bit three "sleeper" DAC, and if I feel strong enough, the Belles 350A... maybe the 3.1 TL's??

    I would likely attend provided the place and time isn't conflicting with my work/family.

    Ok, I know it's a little early to pin down an exact weekend yet...

    However, what season of the year are we looking at folks spring or summer??

    I'm thinking more of spring, but I'm open for anything right now. I know Joey might have an issue with spring, we'll see? Trying to work this out the best route for everyone. Please give me some input any suggestions are more than welcome!:)

    I just sent Joey a pm asking him when it would be best for him. I'm open as long as I have some notice. Try to avoid holiday's like Easter, Mother's day, Father's Day. 4th of July is ok though. Wife works in retail and holidays are "blacked out".

    Last week of June is ok for me...

    Or if you guys have anything other dates that are ideal for you, I could still probably come... I'm just going to have to hope that I'm off those days.

    That's when I'm free victor.. 2 weeks is all I get. The exact dates:

    June 17 to July 1.

    That's all I got.

    Other than that, I could try to make it any other time... just nothing in the beginning of June cuz I need to be studying for the largest pair of shelf exams of the year.

    The following weekend of June 30th, July 1st, and July 2nd would be perfect for me.

    I'll see what if anything is planned for those days by my family. The 25, 26, 27 are all taken up by a National Martin Logan Meet at Kansas, USA... so I'm busy on those days.

    You know people.... as long as we do it early enough during my rotation, I should be ok. Anything in early May should be ok with me provided it's a weekend.

    Let me know what you guys think.

    Only thing in May is mother's day - Sunday May 13th. Other than that May would be better than June IMO. Pick a date in May Joey :)

    How does May 4th, 5th, & 6th sound? I like it a lot :cool: :D

    Might I suggest April 33 1/3?
    I never had it like this where I grew up. But I send my kids here because the fact is you go to one of the best schools in the country: Rushmore. Now, for some of you it doesn't matter. You were born rich and you're going to stay rich. But here's my advice to the rest of you: Take dead aim on the rich boys. Get them in the crosshairs and take them down. Just remember, they can buy anything but they can't buy backbone. Don't let them forget it. Thank you.Herman Blume - Rushmore
