    Anybody bringing any gear to sell or trade?

    I have a pair of Swan D3.2F+ speakers that I wasn't planning on bringing unless someone wanted to buy them. :)

    these mini PolkFests are fun... and don't happen that often in our neck of the woods. I think the Bay Area had get together of some kind a year or two ago. but most take place on the East coast or South East.

    A bit of bad news guys, our building's liqueur license is in turmoil right now, and we won't be able to bring alcohol to the meet. I hope this won't dampen anyone's fun. :)

    Thanks for understanding guys. Liquor Enforcement has been in and out of our building since we are redoing our Liquor License, and I'm not willing to get any speed bumps in that process.

    Don't worry AL, there are a bunch of restaurants and bar within walking distance of my building. Plus did I mention, we are two blocks from the water? :cool:

    Locals love Hector's in Kirkland and it's on the other side of our parking lot. I've never been there myself, but I've only heard good things and they've also helped us out with charity causes in the past.

    Update: I AM COMING!! I talked to the wife about it on Friday and to my surprise she is all for it!! We have been looking for an excuse to go to Seattle, and this appears to be it. We are gonna make a weekend out of it and we plan on rolling in to town on Friday and leaving on Monday. I still need to get my leave approved, since I am on a Medical restriction I am not supposed to leave the local area, but it shouldn't be too hard to get it approved. I am looking forward to meeting you guys and I can bring anything in my sig (minus the TV of course, lol) Also I may have the TSi 500's on loan by then and if it is ok with Mark/Polk I can bring those as well. This is gonna be awesome.

    Very cool Jeff, glad it's going to work out. You'd kick yourself (and I would kick you too) if you left for Germany and never got to attend one of these mini Polkfests :)

    LOL, Yeah Russ called me tonight and we are gonna try to get together on Saturday after he lands. I am planning on getting there Friday and spending the day with the Mrs. I am glad I am gonna be going to Al, it is gonna be nice to put some faces to the names I have gotten to know pretty well here. I would have kicked myself for years to come if I left to Germany without going to something like this.

    Your on dude, give me a ring when you land, maybe I can pick you up from the airport? Or we can just meet somewhere for dinner.

    That's 2 buildings from my work. You won't find any beer and burgers around there, except maybe the Comfort Inn lounge. I'm told they have decent appetizers.

    Plenty of places to eat (fast-food and sit-down) 1 exit north. Head downtown Bothell (not that far from Comfort) for the beers - Main Street Ale House is one option. Best burger in Bothell would be Ranch Drive-In in downtown Bothell IMHO. I can recommend more as needed.
