    If she doesn't mind, I don't see why not.

    I could go, although I am relatively new to this forum, I'd love to see that Epson projector (I have a Mits HC1500) as well as a sub face off.

    As long as its only for evaluation purpose. You like it, you go and buy the album. You don't, you destroy the CD. :)

    Shouldn't be a problem to be there unless work gets screwy.

    Thanx for putting this together Sami!!!

    Edited To Add: Looks Like the TVC won't even ship till the week of the 15th. So I won't be able to bring it.

    What time is everyone thinking of coming, and are you just stopping by or hanging out, or will it depend on attendance? :)

    So far, I don't have the night off, but I plan on being there, what 11am or so? Noon? I've got to bail by 3.

    11am or so is a good time to start. Russ, you have to work on the night pass...

    BTW, I tried to give you a call this afternoon, I picked up a Sony TA-E9000ES close by your house on Eldorado. Oh well, I'll have to check your inventory some other time and it's not like I need anything. :)

    You always "need" something....or your not really an audio nut.
    CTC BBQ Amplifier, Sonic Frontiers Line3 Pre-Amplifier and Wadia 581 SACD player. Speakers? Always changing but for now, Mission Argonauts I picked up for $50 bucks, mint.

    Just found out I have to work this weekend. I might be able to drop by around noon and hang for a couple hours. Then I'm headed for Oklahoma for a couple days.

    Florida sounds better.

    Is this the first time that two mini-PF's are happening at once?

    In that case I'll go and get another case of Warsteiner. BTW, it still is BYOB but I will have a few cold ones in reserves in case someone forgets and gets thirsty. If anyone drinks girly drinks, well, they are on their own... :)

    Keys will be collected on the person(s) who aren't able to drive anyone!!!

    I like that attitude Russ.

    Hmmm.....

    While I can't adopt the exact same attitude, I can go in later in the evening. Make up the difference on Sunday.

    So, Let's just say I'll be there and don't know what time I will be leaving.

    I thought about firing up the grill but then I thought it will take a lot of the attention away from the actual purpose. Once people get hungry we can always order in food. I'll probably make some homemade salsa so bring a bag of chips. :)

    Ok guys, I will see you tomorrow. We have 10 yes votes, 2 tentative, and only 5 or so have asked me directions so far...hope you haven't forgotten and are still planning to come. A few of you know where I live already so I'm not too concerned.

    I'll be there. Where do you live? Do I just head to Burleson and start shouting 'Sami'?

    Not sure if that would work, Burleson is about 30 miles away. Of course, I've never heard you shout so who knows. :)

    PM sent with address and cell number.

    If you have the room in your vehicle, we could try to find time if possible. If not, then we don't. If it is an extra hassle then I would bring only two of them.

    Sami, I'm stuck like chuck. My girl walked off with both sets of keys this morning, and she's in downtown Dallas taking a test all day. Unreal.
