    Is this one still active? Have the demo speakers taken a detour from the list?

    I think they're headed down to CaligulaPolk for the Tampa gathering that may or may not ever happen...lol

    Oh well...they'll get back to making the rounds sooner or later I suppose.

    5 demos (I think) in two years. Unless there are any more detours you should get to hear them before you retire....maybe.

    I text him earlier as i know hes been away and we were going to demo at the Tampa mini fest later this month, but unless we get another one going in next couple weeks i told him i would go and get them and ship off to next person in line after a day or two demo. Hes alive and well just more important things hes dealing with.

    Stand by

    This demo needs to get back on track...

    I would think those that took the time to sign up (like me) would like to to demo these...instead all the while they sit for weeks so that MAYBE something can come together for those that think they might demo them if...

    +1 , this demo is taking way to long. People need to et on the ball, demo them and then send it to the next person.

    Pauly,

    Can I send return shipping labels to you instead? Would you mind dropping off the IHT as well? If so, I need your shipping information, name, addy, phone number, email.

    Phuz - You ready?

    I'll have all the labels emailed tonight...expect shipping late next week. Guys, I need you to be somewhat timely on these labels since I have to create them for a specific time period, otherwise they go "dead". Just keep that in mind. I usually make them active for 7+ days..

    Pauly - What's the word....you heard from Jeffrey? I don't see tracking information for anything that I've emailed labels for. They only last a week, 7 days, and then they expire.

    This causes me to have to re-do the entire shipping transaction and I have asked that you guys pay attention to the need to receive, label and drop off in a timely manner.

    OK, this whole thing is getting a little long in the tooth.

    The labels are expired.

    Caligulapolk, I'll contact you offline but these need to ship within 2 weeks.

    I still haven't heard from Caligulapolk(Jeff) so...these are still on hold for now. I'm not sure what else I can do for you guys at the moment.

    Must be on the same brain wave. I heard from him Friday and was suppose to get back with him but had my son and slipped my mind. Just texted him. This will get back on track soon.

    Sorry for the hassle guys.

    I cant speak for the guy but i know hes having hard time nowadays. At the same time i know he took on Demo status and its being dragged out......


    Stand by yet again....

    Ok, thanks Paul. I haven't received any emails from him to date but that's good to know. He can't use those labels, they have expired. Thanks for your help :D
