    PolkFest. Polkfest. Oktoberfest. Breakfest. Fest Parker.

    Hey, it's Polkfest. The "f" should be a small "f" if my research is correct.

    Gang,


    gonna put this here and the equipment thread. I know many of you bring CD's, but can some of you bring music DVD's (DVD audio or more importantly concert DVD's) for the theater rig in the living room? I have some but not enough to carry a whole weekend.

    the theater rig can also do sacd as well thanks to the new Oppo BDP-80 in the hizzy.

    I'll bring a few that I have that sound really good.

    Blue Man Group and Ani DiFranco come to mind.
